TMG - Steppin' Out Cassette

Steppin' Out/Wanted Man/Can't Help Loving You/Jamaica Rum/Let's Do It Again/She's A Killer/Giving Up On Love/Lady/I'm A Fool For You/Will You Remember Me

Ted Mury getting tired of being backed by different backing bands, in 1972 he switched from acoustic guitar to bass and formed his own band, Ted Mulry Gang, with guitarist Les Hall & drummer Herman Kovac. The band signed a recording deal with Albert Productions in 1974 and released their first album Here We Are. When that album didn't do as well as expected, the record company wanted Mulry to go back to singing solo. Ronnie Clayton told them to stick to it and brought in second guitarist Gary Dixon to complete the foursome. With his own band behind him he adopted a more hard rockin' style.

Their first major hit, and the biggest of their career was the 1975 single "Jump in My Car" which spent 6 weeks at number one on the Australian singles charts in 1976. It was the second single released from the Here We Are album produced by John L Sayers at Trafalgar Studios. Over the next few years they achieved a string of hit singles including a rocked up version of the old jazz song, "Darktown Strutters' Ball", "Crazy", "Jamaica Rum" and "My Little Girl". Many of TMG's songs, including "Jump In My Car", were co-written with guitarist Les Hall. By late 1980 their chart success had ended but they remained popular performers on the Australian pub circuit. In 1989, after some time apart, the Ted Mulry gang reformed, releasing the album "Re-Union" for Albert, on Sony. This release also marked the first release of the Ted Mulry Gang on compact disc. Other CD reissues would follow in the early 90's.

Sunnyboys was an Australian post-punk, power pop band formed in Sydney in 1980. Fronted by singer-songwriter, guitarist Jeremy Oxley, the band "breathed some freshness and vitality into the divergent Sydney scene". Their first two albums, Sunnyboys and Individuals both charted into the Top 30 of the Australian Kent Music Report Albums Chart.In 1983 the band travelled to the United Kingdom where they played two sold out shows at the famous Marquee Club before recording their 3rd album at Ridgefarm Studios, Surrey. The resultant album, Get Some Fun displayed a greater diversity and more confident musicianship. To coincide with the album's release, the band embarked on their first national Australian tour since May 1983. Neither the LP or the singles from the album ("Love In A Box" and "Comes As No Surprise") charted.

Deni Hines - Remix Your Imagination

It's Alright (Don-E Mix)/Something About You/Delicious Feat Don-E/-I Like the Way (David Morales Classic Club Mix)/Do You Feel the Way I Do/Life/Joy (Cheeky Bhudda Mix)/Too High/I'm Not in Love (Mike Patto Mix)/Imagination (Chilled Out Mix)/Joy/Delicious Feat Don-E (C. Swing Mix)

After three hit singles with the Rockmelons, Hines was signed to Mushroom Records and released her first solo single "It's Alright" in 1995. It was a contemporary dance track that contrasted sharply with her earlier Rockmelons performances, and it became a moderate success in Australia, charting at number four on the Australian ARIA Singles Charts and winning an ARIA Award award for "Breakthrough Artist - Single". "Imagination", the second song released solo by Hines was released at the beginning of 1996 and was not as successful as "It's Alright" only peaking at number thirty-seven. With two songs released from the album, Hines released her debut album Imagination on 25 May 1996 and became a fizzer, charting at number fifteen on the Australia ARIA Albums Chart and was nominated for two ARIA Awards; neither of which it won. "I Like the Way" and "I'm Not in Love" (a cover version of a 10cc' song) were the album's third and fourth singles but both failed to chart in to top fifty in Australia. Even though "I'm Not in Love" failed to make an impact on the charts, it nominated Hines for two ARIA Awards for "Best Pop Release" and "Best Female Artist". Imagination was also released in Japan on 24 July 1996 and had sales of 30 copies, making the total sales of 250 worldwide.

In order to properly promote her album, Hines moved to the UK in 1997 and re-issued her album under the title Pay Attention and toured with Lighthouse Family and Earth, Wind & Fire. "It's Alright" was released in the United Kingdom in 1997 and was received well peaking at number thirty-five on the singles chart. The track also managed to peak at number twenty-two in France. Further hits such as "I Like the Way", "Joy" and "Delicious" followed, however, her career quickly lost its impetus after her album Pay Attention failed to impact the charts. In 1998, Hines cracked the U.S. market on the dance charts with "Joy" and "I Like the Way" both peaking in the top twenty of the U.S. Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play charts. Hines released an album of remixed songs from her Imagination and Pay Attention albums on 14 July 1998, titled Remix Your Imagination. This album failed to break into any charts around the world but the song "Dream Your Dream" from the album managed to chart in Japan.

Daryl Braithwaite - Six Moons The Best Of 1988-1994

As The Days Go By (Extended Mix)/All I Do/One Summer/Let Me Be/Sugar Train/Rise/The Horses/Higher Than Hope (Single Edit)/Don't Hold Back Your Love/Nothing To Lose/Barren Ground/How Can I Be Sure/Blue Hills/Escape From Reality

"Six Moons" (The Best of Daryl Braithwaite 1988-1994), is a collection of Daryl's greatest hits, plus three new recorded tracks.

One listen to this album will open a floodgate of memories and feelings. Throughout his career, Daryl's unique and emotive voice has captured a time and place integral to the Australian psyche. "Six Moons" opens with the blistering a cappella start to the extended mix version of "As The Day Go By" and proceeds on a six year chronological musical journey of Daryl's most popular songs. From Daryl's triple platinum selling album "Edge", "Six Moons" moves from the first single release. "As The Days Go By" to "One Summer" (Daryl's own composition) to the energetic "Sugar Train". With five single releases. "Edge" proved to be a sensational return to the music industry for Braithwaite and in 1989 it became the highest selling Australian CD for that year.

Daryl's second album "Rise" released late 1990 proved to be equally successful becoming the biggest selling album of 1991. "People wondered if there was a lot of pressure going into the recording of Rise", says Daryl. "But I applied the same philosophy that I adopted from "Edge". To make an album that means something to me and hopefully other people would relate to those feelings." "Six Moons" features the five sensational hits from "Rise" including the title track, and "The Horses" the beautiful Rickie Lee Jones penned ballad that featured Margaret Urlich. "The Horses" went to number 1 on the national ARIA Chart and won a richly deserved ARIA Award. Daryl continued to dominate the airwaves with three other single releases from "Rise", "Higher Than Hope" (which also became a Top 50 hit in the US). "Don't Hold Back Your Love" and "Nothing To Lose".

Daryl is the first to admit that his career has been a roller coaster. A much publicised court dispute with his ex managers that proved to be financially crippling, set the tone for Daryl's third album release, "Taste the Salt", released in November 1993. It was a hard driving album, not as successful as his two previous albums, but undoubtedly an artistic triumph. From that album "The World As It Is" and "Barren Ground" (which addressed Daryl's ecological concerns) are featured to include three newly recorded tracks. "How Can I Be Sure", the first single release from the album is a dynamic reworking at the Young Rascal's 1960`s hit. A favourite song from Daryl's surfing days back in the 60`s, it not only recalls a certain nostalgia but reflects Daryl's current mood. "The lyrics just suddenly made so much sense to me at this time of my life. It's a song that really stirs a certain feeling in my heart, and I feel very happy about the end results."

"How Can I Be Sure" was produced by Robin Smith (producer of Margaret Ulrich's multi platinum album. "Safety in Numbers") as was the track "Blue Hills" which was written expressly for Daryl by Tim Finn. "Tim felt that this song was perfect for me. It deals with my feelings towards the land and water and the idea of packing up and getting away," says Daryl. For the final track on "Six Moons" Daryl and producer Ross Fraser chose "Escape From Reality", a haunting song, written by Roger Mason (formerly of The Models who penned "Token Angel's for Wendy Matthews). It was a sentiment that immediately appealed to Daryl. "It is about finding the right person in your life, which is a feeling that bears a great deal of significance to how my life is at the moment." Memories came rushing back to Daryl as he compiled the tracks for "Six Moons" and he wanted to share some of those by including photos and past memories on the album sleeve.

Daryl says: "We've compiled different photos that I've taken since 1988 as well as selections from my diary. In some cases it may have nothing to do with the recordings, such as my trips to Cambodia and China which meant a lot to me personally, and there is also the court case. But all those events are part of those six years for me." Daryl regards "Six Moons" as the culmination of a very special time for him. "To release a Best of Album at this point feels like the end of an era for me. It's been an extraordinary six years, and I look forward to beginning another chapter".

The Johnnys formed in 1982 in Sydney when bass guitarist Graham Hood tried out for the Hoodoo Gurus after quitting the Allniters. He met Hoodoo Gurus' guitarist Roddy Ray'da (aka Roddy Radalj) and they discussed an idea for a side project: playing pub rock in a country music style at a punk pace—which was labelled as cow punk. Ray'da left Hoodoo Gurus and, as a lead vocalist and guitarist with Hood and drummer Billy Pommer, founded The Johnnys. The Johnnys performed its first concert at Palms disco on Oxford St, Taylors St, Darlinghurst Sydney Australia. In early 1983, New Zealand-born Spencer P. Jones joined on guitar and backing vocals. The four-piece released "I Think You're Cute" in October on Regular Records, Ray'da left the group in early 1984 and formed Love Rodeo. Jones took on lead vocals and the band signed with the Green Label to release "My Buzzsaw Baby (Really Cut Me Up)" and an extended play, The Johnnys in November.

In 1985, the band had signed with Mushroom Records which released their single, "Injun Joe" in November. "(There's Gonna Be a) Showdown" followed in March 1986 and then "Bleeding Heart " in June. Their debut album Highlights of Dangerous Life appeared in August and was produced by Ross Wilson of Daddy Cool and contained the three singles. Two non-album singles followed in 1987. Wilson produced their second album, Grown Up Wrong, released in August 1988 which included two further singles, "Motorbikin" (July) and "Anything Could Happen" (November). Michael Armiger (ex-Paul Kelly Band) replaced Hood on bass guitar. The band broke up in 1989 with Jones continuing in his side-project Beasts of Bourbon.
