I got that re-release NZOZ, 48 odd songs for 30 bucks-bargain-but most importantly it has the self titled album which has been impossible to get for a long time

@brawlingnun

Excellent! I think a friend of mine also has a copy of the same item. I'd love to get hold of tracks like this, so I can merge them with the videos... the sound on these vids are low!

[Supermercado]

Massively underrated song

[ShadowWanderer1]

This absolutely RULES!

I wish it was louder but man it's SO fantastic!

"Tora Tora DTK grease my hip

ship ahoy and bombs AWAY!"

I turned on of my best friends onto their live album, she couldn't believe anybody could do a version of Shake Some Action, on of her alt-time faves, better or as good as least as the original

Johnny Kannis is amazing his Kill City blows Iggy's outta the water

thanks for posting this INCREDIBLE video!!! :)

[SonicStrings]

It's from the Album "It is what it is"

One of my favourite live bands from inner city Sydney in the early 80s when I was at Uni. Must have seen them 100 times. Played some great sets with The Numbers . Thanks for some absolutely INSANE nights !!!!!
