You might have wondered why there was only a handful of Australian groups in my selections…. here’s the answer: I’ve collected groups from the land down under in a special file, and finally put them on 3 CDs, in chronological order. More than uncomped tracks (although you’ll find a few rare gems), it has become a “best of”-installment. Seems that Australian beat has been covered quite well, but since on this side of the globe it’s quite hard to get hold of the excellent catalogue by labels such as Canetoad (Hi Dean Mittelhauser!), Festival or Corduroy, I’ve decided to pick the lesser known tracks of anthologies and reissues, leaving out famous bands like The Easybeats or The Missing Links as I assume every garage-fiend will be familiar with their output.
