Also what should be Gruchy is listed as Bruchy. As to the idea that we cut up master tapes and stuck them all together, well, as I recall the reason we were working in Mark's home studio was to go from the band master tapes to a new master on another reel to reel machine, but I could be wrong. It was thirty years ago and brains like tracklists get a bit scrambled.

A friend of mine pointed me to the blog and I ...hi <br />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. <br /><br />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, 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. <br /><br />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).<br /><br />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. <br /><br />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. <br /><br />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.Linda Wallacehttp://www.machinehunger.com.aunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014855098066226358.post-74415224622764576882012-04-18T12:22:48.053-07:002012-04-18T12:22:48.053-07:00Yep Terry was a bit of a legend, and myself and Ax...Yep Terry was a bit of a legend, and myself and Axel from the Vampire Lovers were the evil fuckers behind At the Fuhers Request which we had to change to at the Solicitors because of special branch and the state prosecutors attention. We were all MacGregor kids with the McLeod Bros Rod Clay n Gavin. We distributed Citadel records, offended most of the feminists at Zzzz and ran Macs 409 then I ran the Love Inn Crystal Club / Doolies and toured bands such as Died Pretty Celibate Rifles Exploding White Mice Lighthouse Keepers, Bris bands Strange Glory Vampire Lover Horney Toads Rabid Souls etc , moved to Sydney then London for the past 19 years. Politicised,by Brisbane and Joh the turd, so I loved every minute and all your company at the time. Will be back for a couple of months at the end of the year and looking forward to seeing a lot of great friendsJohn Pearcehttp://www.johnnyrocketltd.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014855098066226358.post-41679696633749018262012-02-23T12:50:28.781-08:002012-02-23T12:50:28.781-08:00too many promises..not enuff time :)

The last time I saw Terry was at Steve Ignorant [Crass lead singer] last June and he told me he had come to see the man who changed his life. Crass and Steve Ignorant changed his life but Terry changed a many a life here in Brisbane. His frantic upstroke bass playing and low lean back stance on stage were an inspiration for many of today's bass players around Brisbane. The Insane Hombres catch cry was Louder, Harder, Faster and it was the way Terry loved his music and life. Cheers Terry from 4ZZZ for many great memories and many a great gig (Chris Converse).

My band Vacant Rooms were included in two compilations, "Queensland in Quarantine" & "At the (Fuherers) Solictors request". <br /><br />I did not know about the latter until someone had wised me up. I remember loaning out a 1/4 inch master tape reel to someone once, promptly forgot about it and the tracks ended up on "At the Solicitors Request."<br /><br /> Vacant Rooms burnt hard and fast and unfortunately never actually had any formal releases but were respected enough by some to be included (by d.j's -Linda Wallace-and others) on these compilations.<br /><br />We played with or saw most of the other artists on these compilations as we were all peers. It really was an inspiring time.<br /><br />It's nice to see that people believe that there was so much more to Brisbane than the Go-Betweens.<br /><br />Our first support was with Chris Bailey on a solo tour in 1983. I was 15 at the time.<br /><br />On July 11 2010 at The Prince of Wales - Nundah, Vacant Rooms and the Colours will be playing a benefit for John Spresser from Toy Watches and Skeletones. Other bands of the period will/may also play.<br /><br />Entitled Spresserfest we raise funds for John and promote the idea of Youngcare. Again we all started doing this a few years ago before mainstream consciousness became aware of Youngcare through mainstream artists.<br /><br />I know some of these blogs have dates of 2008 etc, but I am hoping that someone sees this and comes along to the show. It will be the first time in 25 years that the original Colours line up will be performing.<br /><br />I put together an outdoor gig in Ipswich in 1983 and invited all of my favourite friends and bands to play I called it "Bremerbeat".<br />This is the artist list in no particular order:<br /><br />New Improved Testament<br />The Fits<br />Sister Xmas<br />Presidents XI<br />Les Bon Bons<br />Vampire Lovers<br />Vacant Rooms (of course)<br />Outer Limits<br />Ups & Downs<br /><br />Thanks for reading,<br />MichaelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014855098066226358.post-38970277699002659532009-12-26T04:37:25.410-08:002009-12-26T04:37:25.410-08:00Yep - will do.

'Fine Time' was for some reason attributed to the Flo fragment & hence the real 'Fine Time' was given the title of the Ups & Downs song which was in turn mis-labelled "Geoff Muntz...". I think I'll post what I think is the track listing when I've finished going through them all. The songs have not been that well edited either & I find I have to remove extended tails and add about a second or so silence at the head.
