So You Wanna Be A Rock'n'Roll Star - Various Artists

 

 

 
 

 

This now hard to find 3CD collection containing 82 classic and rare tracks from the cream of Australian music from the 60s to 70s.

What is very interesting about this set is not just the inclusion of some most excellent bands from this period, generally featured playing one of the tracks they are best known for, but also the groups that generally went under the radar even though  their music, or their line-up is memorable for one reason or another.

Of course what it does do is provide a fascinating and well deserved historical record of what was a crucial period in the development of Australian music.

 It includes artists like Billy Thorpe & The Aztecs, Ray Brown and The Whispers, The Delltones, Normie Rowe & The Playboys, Mike Furber & The Bowery Boys, Tony Worsley & The Blue Jays, and a few you may not have heard of.

An amazing collection that will please any hardcore Aussie music fan.
