The Riptides were one of the very best .. but also one of the most under-recognised .. Aussie rock bands of the 80s. This early release in their repetroire has that gritty, gutsy driving beat and guitar style which very-much characterises their signature -sound. This song, PLUS "Eternal Flame", were 2 of their biggest hits & most stylish compositions. Anyone out there who can put up their great song "Eternal Flame" on YT ? It'll be worth it. Great posting, NEWAVERS !!
love how Funkytown is playing in the beginning :)

What kind of a bass is the singer playing? I notice it has a whammy bar and apparently it has 6 strings.
