SEKRET SEKRET - HAPPY TOWN SOUNDS (singles, live and rare)

Feel Presents September 2008

The latest in Tim Pittman's excellent re-issues selection that compiles all of the best quality recorded material from this wildly under-rated band. The booklet is, like many of the recent comps, superb relying on interviews and reminiscences to flesh out their weird history. I never knew that some of them lived down the road from me in Commonwealth Street - it seems that cheap rent pulled everyone in. The recorded material comes from their scant few singles, a guide track from a 1981 recording and live performances from the Stagedoor, Rock Garden (2JJ recording), Wollongong Uni and the TUC (Triple J live at the wireless).
