Best chisel album for me...what an awesome band they were live❤
EAST....in my humble opinion...the best, most well balanced , written and performed,tight album in Australian rock and Roll history
No argument from me mate.
Paul EJ its up there
This, for me, is up there with any ‘greatest’ album of all time, never mind only Australian ones
Top 3 for sure along with INXS - Listen Like Thieves, and ACDC - Black In Black.
I won’t disagree either
Just brilliant. Made us think. Grew up quickly from sing along 70s pop music in Oz.
If there's such a thing as comfort food, this is comfort music.
12 classic tracks on an album is the way to go, 2 sides of 6, well balanced and you flip the record over then side 2 blows you away. Classic vinyl experience.
WHO CAN FORGET COLD CHISEL DAYS SIMPLY UNFORGETTABLE
One of my favourite albums of all Cold Chisel albums.. Still sounds good 25 years or so later.
yes this is ground break through album at its best .can you believe 1980
Try almost 35 years ago NOT 25....I know because I know how old I am LMFAO
Hey Paul EJ, give a man a break, I would like to think that it's only 5 years old and I stil have a future.
37 years ago!
Try 40
Lucky enough to have spent time with the band as they Pre recorded tracks for east never forget those few days.
This would have been an amazing experience to have spent time with Cold Chisel while they were recording their East Album.
Hands down Chisel's best album......they were at their absolute peak when they did this
I'm actually glad Chisel didn't go Worldwide. They are a hidden gem and everyone around the world that I've introduced them to have been blown away. America in the 80's had no idea about this unique blend of rock . They were Australia's premier band without a doubt.
I had this album on tape and played it heaps of times in my torana . ahh the good old days.
Oh yea the good ol 80's
This album is a work of genius and was part of the soundtrack of my teens growing up in Melbourne. Now that I'm a musician myself, the brilliance of this album stands out even more. The bass in "Star Hotel" is killer.
Thanks for the upload. Great memories of hot summers and Winnie Reds.
+Geekman333 No problem :)
yes, yes and yes. So many huge songs, but all the fillers are classics as well.
Never Before should have been a single...ITA ...(which i had the dubious honour of singing to Ita ... from the sidecar of a speeding motorcycle , both of us drunk, speeding up William st in the cross. We were beside ITa and her hubby in their swish BMW. IT seemed like the right thing to do !!
Yep
Quite possibly the greatest album of all time by an Aussie band and would stand tall against anything the rest of the world has produced.
Ah yes !
Australia has produced some of the most kick arse bands the world has ever and will ever see or hear !...AC/DC are perhaps the most successful world wide and are still going they are up there with the rolling stones for world recognition !
but aca daca have a niche of heavy rock !
then we have COLD CHISEL they were and still are ( IMO ) Australias nunber one premier band their writing production and performance were unmatched ! not to mention their ability to reflect the Aussie soul so accurately !
Yes there are a few who could stand toe to toe with them like INXS , rose tattoo , and perhaps the Angels or hunters and collectors .
Just tonight i watched a show on TV and this music producer from Atlantic records in the USA said back in the 80's there wasn't an American band that could come close to an Aussie band !
Ah yes Cold Chisel coloured my youthful years ! they were the rhythm and the passion !
Dont forget The Divinyls
Καλώς τον Έλληνα :D
LOL
kris pirtsios ;)
And one of my favourite Aussie performers, who I saw in Toronto a few years ago - Kevin Bloody Wilson. And I'd like to see Rodney Rude one day. But Cold Chisel is the best!
One of my favourite albums of all Cold Chisel albums.. Still sounds good 25 years or so later.
love the Chisel concert in Perth.. was brilliant!
I'm 59 and the chisels were always there as they seemed to tune in to how their fans felt about the world. The lyrics and rock made us feel connected and how we partied. Now as an older bloke thanks for the music and thanks for its therapeutic effects on PTSD.
You blokes are,
FUCKEN LEGENDS
My favourite album 🤟
nice vocals, very clean guitar! All good 😘😘😘
Amazing talent along with creative and personal tensions created driven and timeless music. So what if the rest of the world were somehow deprived of Cold Chisel? Their loss!
Don Walker is a genius. Ian Moss is amazing. Steve Prestwich was a star and Barnesy is one of a kind. Together with Phil Small they were, and are, so much greater than the sum of their parts - incredible as this may seem.
Listen to Last Wave of Summer - almost as good as EAST.
UNDISPUTED!!!
Back around 1980 at a party I met the lady who the band wrote about : "I had a friend, I heard she died, on a needle she was crucified".
True.
Indeed ;)
love the Chisel concert in Perth.. was brilliant!
One of my favourite Australian albums.
Easily & Simply; one of their greatest albums. Total respect to Chisel for this one. Cheers for uploading absolutely appreciated to the max.
No problem, pal :)
***** Saw Cold Chisel live over here in New Zealand at The Dunedin Town Hall on September 24th 1983. I was about 5 weeks short of my 20th birthday. Went on a bus trip with a mate and it was one of the best I've had in my entire life. I was really in to Cold Chisel and 2 other Aussie outfits; 'Icehouse' and 'The Angels' of whom I also saw at the same venue in '84 and '87. I so preferred Aussie rock bands to Kiwi rock bands. However nothing beats seeing Pink Floyd live at Wembley Stadium on August 6th 1988 when I was in London on my big O.E. (overseas experience from NZ). That gig blew my mind and I was straight and sober for the first and only time I was there (6 months). I also saw a favourite band of mine 'The Screaming Blue Messiahs' at a local pub venue (September 2nd Harlesden Mean Fiddler, London) just around the corner from where I was dossing at a Kiwi house/flat. That gig was so loud I could barely hear for 3 days afterwards...Fate struck me down in 1990 when I had my near-death motorcycle accident back in NZ at the age of 26 that resulted in me becoming a hemipelvectomy (entire left leg amputee at the highest level i.e. left hip joint and left side of my pelvis was amputated). V. fortunate to live from that fall from grace. Still love motorcycles. For once I had failed to apply the creed' 'Live to Ride, Ride to Live. I had a heavy addiction to the need 4 speed. Crashed at over 200 clicks (km). Though as Billy Joel sings; 'Only The Good Die Young'.
Blackscorpion1963 I was there for that one in Dunedin. Absolute classic the place was pumping. Last year of High School and some good memories
Big Fella In my last year at high school (1980) I 'went out' with my first high school girlfriend - she was in my home class in Form 6. I played on the wing in the 1st XV, won the school cross country, and was athletics champion. I was a city slicker and she was a country gal. Lasted 10 months. I took her to a live gig from New Zealand band Mi-Sex held in the Invercargill Town Hall. We were both 17. Man did that gig go off. Mi-Sex keyboards player and also from Invercargill, Murray Burns believed it was one of their loudest gigs ever.
a great time to be a kid in australia... when i first discovered girlfriends and bongs
love the Chisel concert in Perth.. was brilliant!
G'day Mark, it was the bestvchamp
cold chisel has to be the best Aussie rock group in the history of Aussie music!!!
Settle down
@@jipangoo Um, OK. Maybe 2 many ! ?
3rd times a charm. Great album.
and fark they nailed the grand final
Indeed ;)
Top tracks, Unique Album *Cold Chisel*
Great R&B based blues/rock album with a front man that has a voice resembling Sting of the Police. Best collection of songs by the band. Australia famous for bands that emerge from their pub rock scene to go on to bigger things. This release covers topics ranging from the Vietnam war to lost love.
Still awesome today
3ZX8Ball - You’re a very gracious person! It looks like you replied to every person who thanked you for the upload! So, let me say thank you as well, for the upload and wish you all the best. We need more people like you in this self-absorbed, me-first world. Peace!
Thank you so much for the beautiful compliment! It's just my kind gesture to whoever acknowledges me taking the time to upload this, not that it was such a big deal but still xD
Much love to you, too! You've made my morning happier :))
Top tracks, Unique Album **Cold Chisel**
Thanks for this upload. Love Jimmy Barnes. Like Australian rock bands. They really play rock.
You're welcome
Waited for ages....and finally...I hv the vinyl but not the turntable...
Thanks for the upload....
+Acer Canon No problem :)
Thank you for uploading this! I too grew up listening to these guys :)
No problem :))
Yes I must agree , 3ZX8Ball Great album and great audio, thank you.
You're welcome :)
Awesome Aussie rock , cheers
Fuck Yer!.What an amazing band!.What a great time to be young!.
I always find it amusing that O.S audiences would have no clue of what 'Ita' is actually about, how amusing it is that the one of the countrys premier bands write a song about her and the continuing cultural significance she exerts on the country.
Ita's tongue never touches her lips. She could always be my godmother.
Ita was shaggin James Packer... the puzzle fits now?
Focus son
absolute classic album!
God damn the 2nd side of this album is FUCKING Genius....The STAR Hotel.......I was in Newcastle when it happened. My dad had cop friends who were there that night........"Her Majesty's Hotel".......BRILLIANT!
How on Gods Earth did INXS get the the success they did compared to this quality???...I saw INXS at Selinas in the Coogee Bay Hotel...B4 they got any of the international acclaim....and they were SHIT compared to Chisel !!!
Paul EJ inxs had more generally approachable music supplied in a time when their music suited the charts,
Paul EJ I think smashing up the set of the TV Week Rock Awards in 1981 did them no favours in terms of commercial success. But it did cement a fantastic 'bad-boy' reputation. Can you imagine INXS doing something like that?
tbh I reckon it probably did the boys better. Despite being a much better band and producing superior music Chisel are still sane and the majority of them still alive. Fame internationally does have a big price and takes a lot to handle. I'm sure the boys have a life of luxury and enjoy it immensely. They certainly give the impression they are content in their lot. Look at the comparison INXS went out of fashion when grunge came in and Michael went solo and what's her name took control and he ended his life very sadly. Chisel had I don't know exactly but I reckon a 20 year hiatus and got together and now play together with fresh vigour and as mates!
interesting to note that this album was produced by Mark Opitz who also produced INXS shaboo shoobah. He did the Divinyls best stuff too (Boys in town, that album).
My uncle was there.
Brought home a brick lol
Thanks for the upload - classic album. The encoding you've used really captures the fidelity of the music and delivers a great sound. Well done! Still wonder how Mossy did Standing on the Outside in one take.
You're welcome! I just threw the MP3s alongside the album's picture in an editing program and made the video. No particular encoding used as I'm not very knowledgeable of that stuff :P
thank you i brought cept breakfast at sweethearts
Really love this album ! Thanks for this upload. Jimmy Barnes is ma fav' australian singer so far. Search at Barnestorming on YT i uploaded the full album with a nice sound.
You're welcome! Will do 👍
WORLD CLASS, COLD CHISEL. IAN MOSS, ALICE SPRINGS PRODUCT...MUST HAVE HAD SOMETHING IN THE BEER THERE...EQUAL TO DAVID GILMOUR...PINK FLOYD
Great post mate! I think its their best....
You're welcome :)
I would love to see Cold Chisel play at the Large Pier Hotel where they started and August would be a great month to play there too and I hear a little rumour that Cold Chisel is recording another Album so it would not surprise me if they were to do a concert at where they got their start! Yes people you could consider this as a clue to a heads up possibility!
1980 was one shit hot year for albums in Australia. This probably the best , and we had Radiation by the Radiators, Back in Black -AC/DC, Dark Room -The Angels and the classic Bird Noises from Midnight Oil among others.
Mick C y
this really is a great Oz studio album, and in terms of production value, right up there with Flowers' Icehouse, AC/DC's Back in Black, Hunters' Human Frailty and The Triffids' Born Sandy Devotional, even given the contrasting music styles. However damning all post-internet music as Justin Bieber crap really does show a lack of awareness of some of the great modern music out there. Gary Clark Junior has been one of my great recent finds, together with Vanessa Fernandez - esp. her Zeppelin covers which are astonishing. Now I guess it's normal to think things were better back in the day, but in many respects, things were worse, a whole lot worse, especially for women in music, including the roadies. However as a Melbourne lad, what I do miss is the vibrant pub music scene. Things probably aren't worse now, just different. That's life. Personally I've been a Chisel fan from the start & still rate their eponymous first album as their equal best, together with Circus Animals. But I still have a place in my heart for the East album & still have my copy on vinyl and a crappy record player to enjoy it on. And yes, I rate Mossy as Oz music's best guitarist and one of our best singers and Don Walker as probably our best songwriter.
It's a shame Barnes doesn't sing like that anymore. It's painful when he covers his old songs by screaming them at a slower rhythm. He could sing when he wanted to
Rob Webster It's called old age mate. We all go through it. He's still packing them in and he always will.
Love it
Glad to hear that :)
Well we have certainly punched out some good shit in this once great land! Not sure anything comes close to this masterpiece.
The rasp in Jimmy's voice here is so fucking irresistible. He's on top of his game on this record, as are the rest of the band.
Australian reggae/ska is weird innit? Nobody ever talks about it but fuck it's the whitest of white reggae. I kinda still don't get it after 46 years of living but hey Aussie Crawl, The Models, Men At Work, INXS & many others had a bit of it and they're all great.
good album
Great album. I saw the album cover and was intrigued. Jimmy Barnes has a unique voice. Sort of a cross between Bruce Springsteen and Burton Cummings.
Hi Mrs Frisby, Welcome to Cold Chisel heaven.
Your analysis of Jimmy Barnes is interesting. From rumours he was blessed to be born with 2 sets of vocal chords which allows him to abuse his voice for hours beyond what most people are capable of at high pitch and volume. Interestingly, his son was lucky enough to be born with the same gift and uses it in a more sublime way on Broadway musicals.
Enjoy the music
Just discovering Chisel as an American. They are as good as AC/DC IMO and I don't throw that around lightly.
I wonder what kind of problems the 38 people who disliked this video had? GTFO of here!
They were standing on their heads when they hit the thumbs up.
My Baby mmmm she can rock she can roll
Perhaps my favourite ever Aussie album. ( The history of how I acquired the vinyl is most audacious....a situation i shall never forget. ) However I really cannot tolerate James Barnes these days. His Chisel days were his best . Now he should just STFU.
Australiophile curious about this... audacious situation now
Jimmy Barnes went soft after he left the band
Vera how can you say that about Jimmy
Only joking ,took my son to his first concert .Last year cold chisel in qld . He was so bad he could only scream ,it was horrible , chisel were great new drummer great .Him bad, I said to my son do you want to go and said what did you think ,and he agreed with me ,really sad he keeps going . Ego . Money who knows
I humbly disagree. I feel that Cold Chisel and Jimmy Barnes are very good performers. I never saw them live in the early 80s or late 70s so cannot compare but gees they are still magnificent
give up drinking and toking what do you expect???!!!
38:41 ...My Turn To Cry
I like how you can look at the cover and pretend that's what Barnesy is doing in "Never Before"
who's the guitarist on this pls?????
The guitarist is Ian Moss.
I love this album. but 28.30 is my fav. Dose anyone know the name of this song? thx
+Mark Tarbin Ita is the song. You can check the description :)
+Mark Tarbin the song is called Ita
+Mark Tarbin the song is about an australian icon named ita buttrose who published womens magazines..not a bad weight for ager in her day :)
they were using David’s painting before Have A Nice Life did
Has anyone posted "Swingshift" full album?
I don't think so. Stay tuned, though. Since you've asked for it, I'll try to find it and see if I can upload it in its entirety.
Missing the last 3 songs???
I only uploaded the initial piece, pal. No bonus tracks. Sorry.
***** Don't apologise. Not really a big fan of the 'previously un-released bonus tracks' tacked on the end of a classic album. If an album is ever re-released, it should be done so in its original form, in my humble opinion. Thanks for uploading.
Duane Ferguson No issue, then. I'm glad I did the best in my upload. Cheers, pal :)
Ahhh bonus songs! Sorry guys, been through 2 copies of the album and they both had them on there so just presumed (do have the original on vinyl but it's beings used as a poster in my bedroom). Don't be hating on the songs though. The party's over is a beautiful piece of music! :) Thanks all the same for the upload!
Not a problem. In looking up the information for you, I've only just learned about the 'International' version of the album, which included 'Khe Sanh' in the track listing, and dropped 'Ita' and 'Four Walls'. Read on, learn, and enjoy :)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_(album)
What degen puts a skipping song in a playlist
From the era before internet and all bands sound the same. Cold Chisel were the pinnacle. Skyhooks were more innovative. Half of these songs are Ian Moss. Back in the day, you could say a song was Yank, Pom, or Aussie. Now they're all Justin Beiber or Beyonce crap. No difference between the lot. And not a scrap of talent between the blanket load of them. Shit. time i sat down.
Most if not all of the early stuff was written by Don Walker not Mossy
Peter Nicholson Not familiar with your tastes but give Angus and Julia Stone a listen. Real songs. Great live. Harmonies. Great muso’s. They tick all the boxes for me.
Its a great album but I still prefer Circus Animals (personal opinion)
That's okay :)
+3ZX8Ball they are both great.....
Ribbit
cheap wine , choirgirl , rising sun are the weakest tracks on the LP (for me ) -and thats sayin sumthin ...
