Lineup I posted above was the lineup that wrote the songs according to APRA. I'm also told it was the lineup that recorded them in July '84 and did the "Countdown" appearance. Mark Williams was their bassist at some other point and Vince Leighton (who supposedly is not Vince Leigh under a typo, but who knows) replaced Royle on drums afterwards. The 7" doesn't have any of the members' names on it.

Thank you very much for this, SS! Your great rips are far better quality than the one I've got for 'Help Me'. Listening to 'If You Feel', it's a very decent track but prefer the a-side as it's more catchy.

As a tortured link, one of the things Australia is known for is its large Greek community and have found this great post-punk album by the band Toeeon called Refuge:

The best track on there is 'At The End' which I wouldn't be surprised to learn if it was released as a single. The rest of the album isn't far behind and 'Better Live Today' and 'Dying Feelings' are pretty good as well.

As to what happened to the band? The only thing I can tell you is that after this they joined the army.

Where did you get it in the first place?!

Either side could have been an "A" side. I like both sides better than Pseudo Echo's "Listening" (#4 in AU in early '84). (Don't even get me started on their putrid cover of "Funkytown.") I don't know if EMI decided one Pseudo Echo was enough or if the Australian public did, but somebody obviously decided that. Then again, Pseudo Echo had the good sense not to adorn any of their single picture sleeves with a squid jamming its tentacle in its eye while sludge oozes out the socket.

As for the other band, I think you found the one Australian group too obscure even for me. Will check it out this week - thanks.

Mine is a YouTube rip which would of been it until you supplies a higher copy of it. 'Help Me' was a lot more catchy of the two. The cover of their single sounds disgusting! Whomever thought that was a good marketing plan needs a good talking to! I would of thought a damsel in distress would of been the way to go, but apparently not. [xx(]

As for the other band, please let me know what you think of it as your opinion about it would be of interest to me.
