5LP Vinyl Box set (plus a 10") containing a variety of
rare recordings coming out of M2 during 1979-1983. It contains a mix of
material seen elsewhere here + some that was found in the vaults and
cellars of Sydney and the Blue Mountains. It's been beautifully remastered
from original source tapes and cassettes and sounds far better than my
previous archival attempts. A CD version for Australian release will be
available at a later date (once these have all sold, I imagine). ACRA,
Gibson, Scats all sound great and the early MotDTF stuff fills out the
void around them.
