Frankie J got in touch with a collection of tunes he found at various thrift stores as he travelled cross country to the 2006 Big Logs Festival. More like HOT logs after these goods were pushed into the cassette machine. Frankie J got cracking and is proud of this EXCLUSIVE mix - the likes of which shan't be heard again.
First up - Australia's answer to Richie Cunningham and the Stale Froot Machine - the Silver Studs. Sadly the follow up single 'Ripe and Dandy' didn't make it for them, so it was back to the Dry Cleaning Industry. We're left with 'Dance With A Dolly', a stain these boys could never EVER remove.
Next - ride high with Bronson - one of Australia's unknown Country KINGS and a truckie to boot. Featuring from Volume 6 of his cassettes,'Trucks Trucks and More Trucks - Bronson Drives Home Some Trucking Songs'- how this was left on the shelf of the Longreach Community Health Centre for so long will amaze you! 'Cholestreeol [sic] Kings' makes a bold honest statement that BIG BRONSON is keen to own. Bronson plays all instruments, vocals; composes the tunes and records them in the BRONSON TRAVELLING MOBILE UNIT - presumably a Kenworth.
From the western twang to the Opera Halls of Italia - the Great Caruso will have you FLOORED to the strains of 'My Beautiful Cat' - a heartfelt tune dedicated to his precious moggy. The production skills of Davino Bernardio are evident in the forgotten technique of 'live cassette edit' - a skill presumed to have died out in 1974. Listen to the very end for a coda that will bring a tear to your eye.
Add delicate doses of Status Quo, Reynols and old Sigsworth Hero, Robin Jolley - this is the PARTY STARTER you've been CRAVING.
