Warner To Release Volume 2 of Glory Days Of Aussie Pub Rock

in News

Warner Music will release a second edition of The Glory Days Of Aussie Pub Rock.

Volume 2 will feature a further 90 tracks.

The second edition will feature Hoodoo Gurus, Jim Keays, Ol’ 55, Kings of the Sun, Daddy Cool, Do Re Mi, Little River band, Mother Goose, Kevin Borich Express, Peter Wells, Little Heroes, No Fixed Address, Vika and Linda, Flaming Hands, The Riptides, Dynamic Hepnotics, Mick Barner & The Reptiles, Mike Rudd & The Heaters, The Spaniards, Hush, Taste and Supernaut who were not included first time around.

Other noteworthy tracks include rare singles by Stars (1976’s ‘With A Winning Hand’, which never appeared on an album) and post-Ol’55 power poppers the Breakers who featured in the original ‘Puberty Blues’ movie, and the first ever reissue of anything by Gary Young & the Rocking Emus (the great single ‘Rockabilly Heaven’, featuring the great Daddy Cool/Jo Jo Zep drummer together with late fellow DC members Wayne Duncan and Ross Hannaford). There’s also the rare but great 1971 single ‘If You Got It’ by legendary Adelaide group Fraternity, featuring Bon Scott on vocals. The collection ends with the Party Boys and John Swan – John had replaced Bon in Fraternity – who together give us an idea of what AC/DC might’ve sounded like if Swanee had also replaced Bon (or Brian) in AC/DC, with a ripping ‘High Voltage’.

The 4CD The Glory Days of Aussie Pub Rock Volume 2 will be released February 24, 2017.

For fans of Queen, John Deacon has long been the enigma of the band, a brilliant musician, masterful songwriter, and humble presence behind the scenes. Since the early 1990s, Deacon has shunned the spotlight, retiring quietly after Freddie Mercury’s death in 1991. But now, years later, he has quietly resurfaced, lending his signature alongside bandmates Roger Taylor and Brian May on a charity auction item, signalling, perhaps, that even the most private of souls can still make their mark in unexpected ways.

Now, half a century later, Sony has announced the 50th Anniversary Expanded Edition of Horses, a release that both celebrates the legacy of the record and offers fans newly unearthed material from Smith’s early years.
