Notes
The cover art of Ned Kelly holding a guitar is an original work by acclaimed Australian artist Rolf Harris as a tribute to Sir Sydney Nolan.
The Premium Edition includes a slip-cased 90-page hardback journal with handwritten lyrics, artwork and anecdotes from all 40 of the Australian artists represented.
"To think that one day I'd write a song and someone would say 'can we put it in our songbook!' It's great."
- Steve Kilbey, The Church
