Slab of Vic - Various Artists, Melbourne 1985 - 86

I received this wonderful 1986 Au-go-go compilation of Melbourne
bands from a friend who was living down that way at the time.
Theres some great bands on here and a lot I know nothing about.
First up is the magnificent "Slaughtermen", the only band on here
I could say I followed, I have a few records of theirs to post,
fantastic stuff.


Also recommended are the "Zimmermen",
"Cattletruck" and the fantastic "Shower Scene from Psycho"
All in all fun and enjoyable package.
For all you guys from down south I'm after any other various
artists compilations from down there,
this is all I have below Sydney.

  8. It's a long time ago but I won a copy of this album, plus a t shirt and a slab of Vic in a competition - possibly 3RRR. The album still survives, along with great memories of the music of that era.
