Normie Rowe - The Fable Years

Rock and Roll You're Beautiful/Don't Talk/Not Every Heart Succeeds/Does She Have a Friend/A Little Love/You've Got a Right/Out of the Blue/You're Important to Me/Help Yourself to Each Other/Keepin' It Up/The One Woman/Maybe Tomorrow



"It would be difficult to write a history of the Australian music scene without devoting a chapter to Normie Rowe. Normie has been one of the biggest names in Australian show business. With a long string of hits, he was one of the top artists in Australia until his career was interrupted by 2 years Army Service. These 2 years matured him and took past him that boy next door image. This album features a collection of his best songs during his time with the historical Australian Record label Fable Music, including 2 well-known favorites 'Maybe Tomorrow' & 'Rock And Roll You're Beautiful' "

This CD was released in 2005 but was originally released in 1980 as the "Out Of The Blue" album on Avenue Records and as Micko has pointed out to me the title of the CD is quite misleading as Normie has never recorded for the Fable lable.

Richard Clapton - Solidarity

The Heart Of It/Chinatown/Amsterdam/Kathleen/Solidarity/Feelin' Alright Tonight/Katy's Leaving Babylon/Cry Mercy Sister/Atom Bomb/New World

As per request Richard Clapton's 1984 release Solidarity this isn't one of my rips but I'm reasonably sure It's a CD rip.
