Mississippi was the coming together of Adelaide's finest musicans resulting from the demise of Alison Gros and Zoot.
Graeham Goble (Alison Gros) & Beeb Birtles (Zoot) teamed up with Derek Pellici & others to form the forerunner to the internationally acclaimed Little River Band.
Missippi released 5 singles on "Bootleg" Label, which was the rock subsidiary of Ron Tudor's Fable Label
with two of these singles making the Aussie charts, "Kings of the World" peaking at No.8 in late 1972, composed by the creative Graeham Goble, and "Will I" top 10 in mid 1974 , written by Beeb and former Zoot colleague Darryl Cotton.
Here is one of the few surviving performances at Sunbury '73, Australia's equivalent to the Woodstock music festival held on the outskirts of Melbourne, over the Australia Day Weekend in late January.
A complete catalogue of Graeham Goble material can be viewed on his website at www.graehamgoble.com

I heard this on Underbelly and it brought back memories of some of the great songs from that era. It still sounds awesome today.
