Matty shares with us a rip of a rare give away Ep from
the legendary Sunnyboys.
Thanks Matty!
"... taking the novel approach of giving for your birthday,
the sunnyboys doled out this little gem to their congregated
faithful- a free 7" EP containing 4 live tracks, at a gig to
celebrate their first birthday in 1981.
One this country's finest, they exploded over an
unsuspecting public in the early '80's and, sadly,
imploded a (too) short while later leaving behind a trail
of 3 albums and a slew of magnificent singles in their wake.
Thankfully those singles, and the 4 tracks here
(amongst an entire cd of fantastic live recordings),
have since been reconvened and lovingly dished up on
the comprehensive 2-cd set
This Is Real- Singles/Rare/Live on (and available from)
the Feel Presents record label- A Real Beauty!!..."

My housemate (Dooley) bought this E.P for my birthday in the mid-80's, it cost him around $120 back then i think. He even went around to all of their houses and managed to actually get all the guys to sign "happy birthday" in it for me. I reckon thats pretty special.
Sadly, my house in Newtown was broken into while i was out one night and EVERYTHING (even my undies, the phone and all the food) was stolen.
I often wonder what on earth could have happened to it.
It was autographed to me specifically but unfortunately that hasn't made it any easier to locate.
It's been over 20 years now, and i'm still looking.......
and it's still $120 now.
