Previously unheard live recording from '77 of legendary Aussie power pop pioneers Beathoven, who were described by Kim Fowley as 'the Tasmanian Bay City Rollers'.
Huge in their home state, Beathoven failed to break nationally (despite multiple TV appearances and a Best New Band' nomination at the 1978 Countdown Awards) and eventually morphed into the Innocents, who are also much loved in power pop circles.
Both Beathoven and the Innocents have been recently names as favourites by THE LEMON TWIGS!
Recorded live to two track, this album captures the mania surrounding the band and captures the band at their early Beatles best and sounds like The Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl reenacted in a Melbourne highschool in the '70s! Includes great versions of fan faves like "Please Don't Go", "Darlin'" and "Shy Girl" and plenty of songs never before released.
Blue vinyl and liner notes by the band's David Minchin, with plenty of cool pix and memorabilia.
Essential for international fans of '70s power pop and classic Australian rock.
For Fans Of: Lemon Twigs, Sharp Pins, the Gnomes, early BEATLES!, Swinging Blue Jeans, Bay City Rollers, Rockin' Horse, the Poppees, the Innocents, the Nerves, the Scruffs, the Spongetones, Shake Some Action-era Flamin' Groovies, Utopia's Deface the Music, the Rutles!
