where are you finding all these great songs nzoz and not just this year, but you fingerprints are all across the seventies and eighties.

[nzoz1980]

@rminister1971 I began collecting when I was about 9 years of age and since then have gotten some good contacts.... this is something that I've always wanted to do.

[rminister1971]

[nzoz1980]

@nzoz1980 ... In the 70's Ross did the soundtrack for an Aussie take on The Wizard of Oz. I think the movie was just called OZ.. Wondered if you have "Living In The Land of Oz" from that. Also had early Jo Jo Zep on the soundtrack doing an Otis Redding cover from memory

[nzoz1980]

@wonsworld61 It was the Chris Lofven movie 'Oz'. I don't have that track, unfortunately.... I only got the Jo Jo Zep song 'Beating Around The Bush' on my nzoz1976 channel.

My wife and I will be celebrating our thirtieth wedding anniversary in September and we always considered this to be our song. We fell in love listening to it and we still dance together listening to it. Thanks so much to Ross and the boys from Mondo Rock you will always have a special place in our hearts.

listening to all these classics takes my back to my childhood growing up in the newcastle beach area. And also think back on the friends that have come and gone from our lives. Thanks nzoz1980
