Re: this weekend's rage playlists

Thanks Nathan
Little River Band - Playing To Win is a great track. I first heard it in March 1985 when Channel 7 used it as their VFL football promo and had no idea who sung it until much later. I was surprised that it didn't chart in the Top 40. It was released in Dec 1984 and only got as high as No.59.

I uploaded the Channel 7 version to YouTube once

Re: this weekend's rage playlists

^ Pity they aired a Countdown rip of the video again, rather than sourcing a full, clean copy.

Re: this weekend's rage playlists

That is actually the second video when they released it in America and tried to re-release it in Australia. The original Australian video was the Indiana Jones style version with the mask - I've got a copy of it somewhere.

^ Thanks for the info, I wouldn't have known otherwise.

Re: this weekend's rage playlists

Yes, Playing to Win is an awesome track! It seems to me like such a forgotten gem. A song that would truly rock out and sound great on FM radio - yet never gets any airplay. Weird.
