An absolute classic from The Fauves as they reach the height of their powers (ably assisted by producer Wayne Connolly). Coxy provides a guided tour of the Sunbury (legendary Oz 70's outdoor festival) site ("there's the tree where Mum and Dad conceived me, do you believe that I'm a child of Sunbury '73?") before he shepherds us backstage with an Access All Areas laminate. Oz Pub rock mythology is where Coxy excels. And next up, naturally, are remakes of two Oz Rock classics, The Radiators' Comin' Home and Dragon's Rain and a reworked Rising Blow. Fabulous work.

03 Rain
04 Rising Blow
Another gem lifted from Lazy Highways and an excellent foray into, dar I say, commercial arrangement, masterfully performed and cruelly under-promoted by an unsuitable record company.
Lakeside is a cover of their fellow Mornington Peninsular brethren Australian Crawl, and is a portent for The Fauves' future down-time/side project Pub Rock. In similar territory It's Not '74 Anymore is a brilliantly weary ode to a legendary roadie from another. Sleep Wonderfully Warm With Linda Lovelace is less effective but would keep the mosh-pit happy all the same.
