What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



The lads had started to hit it big here with I Started A Joke. Time to go to the vault while they worked on their
little known masterpiece, Odessa. The first of their three albums titled Rare Precious And Beautiful. Material
recorded from 64-66, when they were still unknowns and living in Australia I think. The beautiful harmonizing that I
love has not peaked on most of these for me. Still getting it together maybe. Four love tracks out of it though,
which isn't bad for this kind of album. Spicks And Specks comes out the best with an excellent live clip for it from
some Aussie tv show. Never came out here, but a single elsewhere. Not sure if any other tracks were singles.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Playdown

Best Track - Spicks And Specks

Where is the sun
That shone on my head
The sun in my life
It is dead
it is dead
Where is the light
That would play
In my streets
And where are the friends
I could meet
I could meet

Where are the girls
I left far behind
The spicks and the specks
Of the girls on my mind
Where is the sun
That shone on my head
The sun in my life
It is dead
it is dead

Where are the girls
I left far behind
The spicks and the specks
Of the girls on my mind

Where is the girl I loved
all along
The girl that I loved
she's gone
she's gone

All of my life
I call yesterday
The spicks and the specks
of my life 've gone away
All of my life
I call yesterday
The spicks and the specks
of my life 've gone away

Spicks and Specks!
