Mental As Anything - 2015 - Shake Off Your Sandals FLAC


 

 Mental As Anything recorded new material: Smith's "Shake Off Your Sandals" (2015), Plaza's "Goat Tracks In My Sandpit" (2016) and a 5 track EP called 5 Track EP  (2017) which collected these two songs and three others. So this single consistss of one track (To my mind a rip off) but I suppose anymore tracks would have just resulted in the 5 track ep.

Mental as Anything - 2001 - Borscht FLAC





Formed on a whim by a group of bored art students in search of free drinks, Australia's prankish Mental as Anything went on to forge a career spanning several decades, their tongues remaining planted firmly in cheek throughout the duration of their existence. Debuting in 1978, the Sydney-based group included singer/guitarist Reg Mombasa (born Chris O'Doherty), his bassist brother Peter O'Doherty, lead guitarist Martin Plaza, keyboardist Andrew "Greedy" Smith, and drummer Wayne Delisle; their first gig was held at a nearby hotel, with a pool table serving as a makeshift stage.

Mental As Anything - 1995 - Nigel CDS FLAC





Formed on a whim by a group of bored art students in search of free drinks, Australia's prankish Mental as Anything went on to forge a career spanning several decades, their tongues remaining planted firmly in cheek throughout the duration of their existence. Debuting in 1978, the Sydney-based group included singer/guitarist Reg Mombasa (born Chris O'Doherty), his bassist brother Peter O'Doherty, lead guitarist Martin Plaza, keyboardist Andrew "Greedy" Smith, and drummer Wayne Delisle; their first gig was held at a nearby hotel, with a pool table serving as a makeshift stage. Their early shows proved surprisingly successful, and soon Mental as Anything had earned enough of a cult following to record a single, 1979's "The Nips Are Getting Bigger"; it was a Top 20 hit down under, and when their debut LP, Get Wet, achieved similar success, the group was off and running.  Thanks to AussieRock.

Mental As Anything - 1995 - Whole Wide World FLAC





"Whole Wide World" is a song written by English rock singer-songwriter Eric Goulden, better known as Wreckless Eric. The song was never a chart hit single for Goulden, though it subsequently became his most well-known recording. The only charted version of "Whole Wide World" was a cover by the Australian band Mental As Anything, who took it to No. 53 on the Australian singles chart in 1995.
