i am viewer # 156, good work nzoz

[nzoz1979]

@iamthenakedape no worries uncle.... still amazed that nzoz turned out to be your nephew? lol

[tonyfaehse]

great job! what a stunningly clean print of this old clip, shot in I think Newcastle TV studios. Such a great vibe, and the full length album version too! Great to see my old gold lame guitar strap and leopard print t-shirt from BIBA in London. If you're wondering why our backing vocals sound like girls it's because it's really 'Cheeta'

[nzoz1979]

@tonyfaehse Thank you for the comment Tony and the great track! I was visualised Linda and Vika Bull doing the backing vocals for some reason (probably the Black Sorrows association), but I must say that Cheetah did a great job on vocals there. I was told the clip was shot in Brisbane!?!?

A very good video clip quality and deserving to be shown at its best on YT!

Great track, joe was quite the showman, i love the guitar riff, its so catchy

[Johnnystrychnine]

This brings back memories. I am not sure if they are good or bad, but I do remember it being played on the radio, I think it was 3XY, yeap that is how old I am. I was in year 7 or 8 then. I wasn't too sure that indy radio stations like 3RRR or 3 PBS existed then. However, Joe Camilleri is a great showman and performer, and the musos knew how to play their instruments.
