A friend of mine pointed me to the blog and I was thrilled to read all the comments about "Queensland in Quarantine, a compilation of diseased music" and also to see that the tape is available online. However I wasn't so thrilled to read that it was attributed to 4ZZZ, as the station had nothing to do with it -- the project was very much my own baby.
In late 1982 I moved to Brisbane to work as an announcer and producer at 4ZZZ. Before moving back to Sydney at the beginning of '84 I decided to make the cassette as a record of the time. I sold my car to finance it. There were postcards inside the package by Matt Mawson, (Terry Murphy and John Wilsteed)sic.*, and stickers. Harley Stumm helped A LOT on the production, as did Mark Loutit (where we mastered the tape) and Matt did the final visual layout.

I selected the music that I'd grown to love over that year in Brisbane, and also chose all audio grabs that went between the tracks. These fragments helped to situate the music. I worked with Harley on these clips in the Triple Z studios, sometimes using material from the newsroom (so in these ways the station indirectly supported the production).
I had 500 packages made and sent them to record stores, radio stations and media all around Australia. I guess I gave 50 away - to the bands, artists, helpers and media - but all 450 others eventually sold, over the course of a year or so, and, as I recall I sort of slowly covered my costs.
I've downloaded the file and listened to the whole thing again today and I think it is remarkable that it is still so fresh and alive, and really brings back the feeling of life in Brisbane in 1983, which is nearly thirty years ago, before the digital world and the internet.
So please, download and relax with 'Queensland in Quarantine', perhaps with a gin and tonic on the verandah, dreaming of the time that was so intense, creative and vivid.
