They were a blazing R&B power trio at their best -- great version of 'Mannish Boy', as I recall. They all went to the same school as me -- I didn't know Mark well, but Scott was a smart, funny guy (and, oddly enough, well into his reggae before most people even knew what it was).Russell Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06272870489640380269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5170027757441671385.post-55265400769949922152012-08-27T18:25:55.669+12:002012-08-27T18:25:55.669+12:00Thanks Stuart -- that Krypton comp is fantastic, a...Thanks Stuart -- that Krypton comp is fantastic, and don't forget Bruce Russell's terrific F.Nun comp 'Time to Go: The Southern Psychedelic Moment 1981-1986' https://www.flyingnun.co.nz/shop/121 All around an excellent time and place in NZ Music History.Jon A.

A great time for live music in ChCh was the late '70s through the '80s. The Unwucht comp "Krypton 10" also a must have collection from that period. http://www.unwuchtmusik.org/kryptonten.htmlStuart Pagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13204839079057277914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5170027757441671385.post-49975237320216899022011-01-29T17:42:07.499+13:002011-01-29T17:42:07.499+13:00Hey,don't listen to that boring and ungrateful...Hey,don't listen to that boring and ungrateful olde Twat!I am just downloading this comp and have been wanting to hear the Vauxhals for a few years.Thank you and keep up the great work!!Lyntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02175814924413368773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5170027757441671385.post-11341530093684804872010-08-03T16:08:42.541+12:002010-08-03T16:08:42.541+12:00Hey all -- this post and the download have been up...Hey all -- this post and the download have been updated, thanks to a note from Brendan Cheyne regarding the title of the Terraces track.

The great unwashed has some interesting music and thir track here ain;t too bad and the Mcgoohans track is ok too, but the rest of this lo=fi amature dribble is not a pretty picture of CHCH music scene back then. I remember, not seeing any of thses bands, seeing some other equally lame nameless local bands back in the day and was just as unimpressed as i am with this lot. no wonder I brought overseas realeases. Thank god the localscene is better today.Roddushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11404230419727008653noreply@blogger.com
