Dragon Bondi Road (Vinyl, RCA Victor Records, 1989) ****
Genre: NZ pop/rock
Places I remember: Marbecks Records
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Young Years
Gear costume: Family Man, Ice In This Town
Active compensatory factors: This was the last Dragon album of new material released during Marc Hunter's lifetime and it serves as a fitting ending for him and Dragon.

By 1989, thanks to a variety if drug fuelled deaths, Dragon was down to Marc and his brother Todd, plus Alan Mansfield.
Even though there is a faint whiff of eighties big production about it, this album just gets better as the years go by - so many great performances on a worthy set of songs for once. Marc's voice is incredible and the band lock in some great performances.
Where do they all belong? Marc Hunter - what a voice (what a tragedy that smoking gave him throat cancer and a very premature death).
