Various Artists - Roz's Oz Mix for Jodie
We stay outside the box for this week’s entry, and it’s another compilation tape of Australian music, this time courtesy of my friend Roz. I recounted here how I became a fan of the Whitlams, and when the band announced their first ever show on these shores, several UK based fans (mostly ex-pat Aussies) on the mailing list decided to arrange a meet up prior to the show. Roz was instrumental in the organising of this, and a great time was had by all. We became friends and over the course of the next few years attended a number of gigs together, and at some point, she made me this tape of 80s and 90s Australian indie music. As with most of these tapes it’s a long time since I’ve listened to this, so I’m looking forward to revisiting it. There are a fair few connections to both the Whitlams and Candle Records on this one, so for no real reason, I think I’ll point these out as I go.
