Originally released in 2022 on black vinyl and orange vinyl (both long sold out) this is the
LOOOOOOONG-awaited first ever anthology from the key Australian punk/garage-
psych band who revered internationally thanks to their classic 1979 “Hindu Gods Of Love” which is considered one of the all-time great singles of the era (and which has
been anthologised numerous times), Double LP includes the original 1979 “Hindu Gods of Love”/Shakedown USA” single the posthumous “Sockman/Pensioner Pie’ 45 plus additional unreleased studio masters from the same ’78 session, an unreleased album length 1980 demo session recorded by Aus guitar god Lobby Loyde, and the near-complete LA show that comprised the original live album “Mesmeriser” (taken from the original cassette). Features liner notes by Ugly Things’ Dave Laing, some killer pix and flyers and repro’s of the stunning Lipstick Killers posters designed by highly collectable Sydney poster artist John Foy, and a short feature on the band from New York Rocker by esteemed writer Byron Coley.
