This version of Lock Up Your Mothers is the rare, original three
CD set only available for a short time in 1994, before changing
to the still available condensed single CD.
This is not a studio or live album, greatest hit's or
compilation, it's a retrospective of Billy's music between the
years of 1969 to 1973 as seen through his eyes. Although this
has a number of The Aztecs biggest hit's on it, including
Billy's signature song Most People I Know Think That I'm Crazy,
some of the best live 70's rock you'll ever hear as well as many
classic studio recordings, this is not an album for everybody.
The Aztecs were known for being the loudest band in the world,
even when they played in a small pub they tried to make your
ears bleed. You can tell how loud they were by all the feedback
coming out of their amps on these live tracks. To get the most
out of these tracks, you should play them as loud as
possible...Billy would've wanted it that way.

**NOTES: Although the entire "Hoax Is Over LP is included, it is
edited to make room for other tracks. Here are some minor
inaccuracies in the notes (credit again to: THORPIE! by Paul
McHenry):
The track "Back Home In Australia" is claimed to be on the
"Opera House" LP, but actually appeared as a B-side to the
single "Cigarettes & Whiskey" and on the Atlantic compilation,
"Gold"
The Live version of "Over The Rainbow" and "New Orleans" and
"Let's have A Party" were actually recorded at Sunbury 1974, not
'73.
The Myer Music Bowl concert was in 1972, not 1973
"More Arse Than Class" was released in 1974, not '73.
