Tiger , apart from this being a great DES mix, you have a great collection of photos of the band from the same time period to go with the song! Cheers stereoman33
Thanks Christopher!! I always try & get the right period photos to match the recordings. Photos with Tony Cahill are much harder to find than the earlier lineup with Snowy Fleet. Cheers Tiger.
They had many hits in Australia. In popularity, The Beatles, Stones and The Easys. OZ hits, For My Woman, She's So Fine, Wedding Ring, Sad Lonely And Blue, Sorry, Come And See Her, In My Book, Funny Feelin', etc.
I remember it being played on the radio (UK)... I bought the album (Friends) which was their last. They then split, Stevie Wright recorded a couple of excellent LPs under the guidance of George Young and Harry Vanda who later morphed into Flash & The Pan. Both were instrumental in the initial success of AC/DC.
Say Tiger... You don't see the Easybeats that much in the VC "Vinyl Community" crowd. Had some pretty good music these guys, not all of it mind you but that's true with all bands for me.
I remember the story from back then that McCartney had heard Good Times with Steve Marriot from The Small Faces guesting on the high harmony while driving in his car and had raved abut it ... maybe the story got changed a bit over time..
Great stereo conversion for a song never issued before in true stereo. Rare Earth Records issued this song in the US where it only made #100 on Billboard. A shame, as it was one of The Easybeats best songs, but it was also one of their last ones before disbanding in 1970. Three years later, Two of the ex-Easybeats (George Young & Harry Vanda) produced a (then) little known Australian group featuring George Young's younger brothers, Angus & Malcolm Young. That group would go on to worldwide acclaim as AC/DC. Rare Earth Records did promise a US album release to coincide with "St. Louis", but because "St. Louis" was a flop in the US, the album was shelved.
