    Glad to hear this original censored version around the lyrics “cocaine cough” which they weren’t allowed to say on Countdown. Not sure what he actually says in this version. All other RUclips clips seem to have replaced the audio with the actual release where he says “cocaine cough” so thanks for leaving this censored version untouched, mostly so I can try and figure out what he says !

    The Oz/Kiwi music scene in the early 70's till Mid 80's was amazing. Two reasons, there was a band in every pub playing till 3am and Molly...

    Countdown. This show should be filed under the same category of a building being heritage listed. The maker of many many bands. some of which are still around today.

    This was aired in 1979. I remember watching it the week after my father died when I was 15...he died in September 1979. As for people raving on about who the producer and engineer were....do you think they were actually playing and recording during the filming sequences? It's tv guys...it's a "documentary" for Countdown after the song was recorded, pressed and had been distributed and presumably was a hit.

    *They can bang on explaining and showing us all the technical wizzbangery in the studio - and yet not a single explanation is given as to why the vocal track remains completely INDECIPHERABLE*

    According to David Briggs, producer, all the people shown during the "so called" making of this video and single are fake. None of them were involved at all in the making of the single nor the video. Just saying what I have read he said.....

    • @oldsoulone1217
      @oldsoulone1217 3 года назад

      Um, ok..... So what is the producer saying? That James Reyne and the boys are only posers and not in the band? Cos obviously they were shown in the "making of".......

      Sam Cox...hardly the right way to make music...this film clip is a charade with none of the people apart from the band who were actually involved in the making of this record represented truthfully or fairly in this rubbish video

    hey spectrum analyser display and motozized fader control in a recording studio in 1979??its a lie this video must be 1982...

    • @samcox6098
      @samcox6098 7 лет назад +1

      I couldn't believe I saw motorized faders either in 79, but I have seen a lot of 79 footage and this looks exactly like 79.. but you've most likely figured that out in the last 9 years since you made this vintage comment itself
