Releases

Notes

"The top 40 hits from 20 years of Oz music. It's diverse, it's electric, it's distinctive, it's exciting. Australian rock'n'roll over the past twenty years has all of those characteristics - and much, much more. This collection is a superb reminder of the evolution of popular music in this country. Forty tracks from forty artists. Forty different approaches and forty songs that have contributed strongly to defining Australian music over the last two decades."

Includes this write-up on The Church:

"Swirling, psychedelic pop masters The Church have over the last decade forged a strong fan base around the world without compromising their vision one iota. With Under The Milky Way (Rel 15/2/88 HP 22 WI 18) they delivered one of the finest singles of their career. Written by lead singer Steve Kilbey and Karin Jansson, it was taken from the band's first album on Mushroom, Starfish, which peaked at number 11 nationally. They have since released two more albums, Gold Afternoon Fix and Priest=Aura."
