Not For Sale: 1978/79

For fans of The Scientists, The Flamin Groovies, Johnny Thunders & The Heartbreakers, The Undertones, The Boys, The Hoodoo Gurus, The Hollywood Brats.Collection of primarily never-before released material from one of Australias most legendary punk-era bands.The Perth-based line-ups of The Scientists recorded the brilliant Frantic Romantic single and self-titled EP highlighted by Last Night. They also recorded a posthumously released LP - the 'pink album' - which came as a massive disappointment due to bad production and a reduced line-up. Not For Sale: Live 1978/79 is a collection of live and rehearsal tracks that captures the band making the same noises as on those 45's, and presents live versions of the fan faves and vastly superior versions of most of the LP tracks as well as coughing up a bunch of hitherto unreleased originals and covers to boot. This is The Legendary Scientists - as they were calling themselves back when former Victims and future Hoodoo Gurus/Beasts of Bourbon drummer James Baker was in the band - as they should be heard. The main set comes from late 1979; a live-to-air broadcast from Melbournes 3RRR, recorded just after the band recorded their classic EP featuring Last Night. It includes great versions of tracks like Itll Never Happen Again, That Girl Making a Scene and, She Said She Loves Me - vastly superior to the limp versions they recorded in the studio. It also includes covers The New York Dolls, Flamin Groovies and The Undertones' Teenage Kicks.
