This is a live recording from 1976 of various Melbourne groups
performing at the Station Hotel, Prahran. It originally came out
on the Lamington label and was produced by Keith Glass
(of Missing Link fame). The Station was the original inner city
rock pub venue in Melbourne, spawning a tradition that lasts
till this day (although certain new government legislation
is threatening to kill off this part of the city's culture vis.
the recent closing of the Tote).
This record also documents the first time Andrew Pendlebury
and I actually played together.

It was a fabulous night and I was there! in fact I wrote the liner notes and am listed as "Drunken Producer". Good on you guys for offering this lost classic as an upload. The Snakepit lives on forever through this record.

Unfortunately the download presents an error, telling me the "structure of the archive is damaged". This is a shame! While I can't say I was at The Station on this occasion, I was there many other times and I owned this album way back when. If there's any way it can be re-uploaded.....

just caught the Dingoes at the Caravan Music Club... they are the real deal... the missing link in Oz rock history.

Was recorded over two nights with the recording equipment in a truck outside the Lounge Room door. The album liner thank you notes included "$1.50 George" and that was George Baxter
