Obscured By...

Our regular opening set of Australian 60’s and 70’s music this week featured a Loved Ones track found on a rare 1966 W&G Records compilation, plus a ‘live’ 1971 Wild Cherries recording from Australia’s fondly-remembered ABC-TV series ‘GTK’. Other highlights included the “Light & Darkness suite”, comprising the whole of side 1 of Ash Ra Tempel’s second album, a couple of  Perth punk gems, a Peter Tork penned and performed song from the Monkees which remained unissued for more than twenty years, and a track from a new album spawned from the collaboration of Ty Segall and White Fence.  All rounded out with lots more, shall we say, obscurities and forgotten masterpieces... brought to you by the Cat & the Brat, your DOTS for this week......
