COUNTDOWN IS BACK THIS JANUARY, 2019 ... ON rage !!!!! Stay tuned below with regular Countdown full archival information for each Countdown episode rage shall be airing every Saturday throughout January ...
My commiserations to the Young family, especially Angus and Malcolm; as well as to the wider "Albert's' Family" at this time. Truly the most significant loss the local industry has endured this year.
Flash and The Pan are one of most unique, creative and most art forward bands Australia had.
Their music was so ahead of the game as were their videos xxxxxx
I have their CD playing now 'The Return Of Flash And The pan' - Ayla - The Best Of Flash And The Pan, such a brilliant collection of masterpiece, every track is genius. They should have been bigger in Australia but they were far too interesting for their time.
And their original version of Walking In The Rain is utterly stunning <3
Also Down Among The Dead Man is KILLER and Early Wake Up Call is 80s Bliss as is of course Midnight Man and Waiting For A Train ...
So it does appear that ABC/rage has lost the clip for "Hey St Peter", presumably they would have shown it if they had it. I was hoping against hope that it was not in the online playlist by accident/omission, but that they would play it. No dice.
And the clips for "Walking In The Rain", "Media Man", "Ayla" and "Something About You" also missing.
And they played Easybeats "Sorry" and "In My Book" twice! They played Sorry, In My Book, then "Sorry / In My Book"!! I think you call that a production error...
There's a mini-series about The Easybeats and it will be on Sunday November 26 and December 3 on ABC, I wonder if it's got pre-Countdown shows like Bandstand and The Go Show in this new mini-series.
