Definitive new live album the legendary late 70's Adelaide band! Includes 'She's Got the Money', 'Countdown', 'Sportsgirls', 'Girl of Mine', covers of 'The Singer Not The Song' (Rolling Stones), 'On Top Of The World' (Bluesbreakers) and more, including definitive version of 'Don't Go To Sydney' from Young Modern singer John Dowler's subsequent band The Zimmermen. Young Modern played their first gig in Adelaide supporting Radio Birdman in 1977, and quickly became the hottest band in town. They moved to Sydney the following year, where they were briefly a 'next big thing' before splitting in '79. Their classic 7" 'She's Got The Money'/'Automatic' remains a much-loved artifact of the early days of Australian independent releases, and their posthumous album 'Play Faster' was indeed one of the first local albums of the indie era. This stunning 18 song live album, recorded in Adelaide late last year, finds the band sounding EXACTLY like it's 1978 again. With definitive versions of all their classic tunes, this is masterful power pop that will appeal to fans of Big Star, the Flamin' Groovies, Badfinger and the Nerves.
