At least that Album wasn’t recorded at Kevin Bloody WWilson’s Studios unlike their most recent effort.

Not Onkyo bound then, although Quadrophonic Ooshta was probably contemporaneous to that album chronologically, if not musically.
I think it should be submitted to a worst LP covers website, for the leopard hide and the misfortunate bass drummer wearing it.

I can recall a sign that a motorist (and as a passenger as a young boy) would encounter when heading northwards onto the Mitchell Freeway from Barrack Street, after sweeping under the northbound overpass, stating “Ground Water In Use”, resplendent in orange iron stains, just to prove that they were in fact reticulating the kraplands upon the reclaimed river.

The classical attack of the Pipers is in the shape of a fighting bull bogette, like this: the head, the boozies, and the arse. First the head moves forward and the enemy naturally moves in to meet it – but it’s only a feint. The warriors in the head then disperse to form the encircling boozies, and the enemy is drawn in on the arse, and the boozies close in on the back and sides. Finish.
It looks, uh, jolly simple, doesn’t it?
Oh, it’s jolly deadly, old boy.

Some complain about Anzac Day being a glorification of war; a police pipe band, halfway around the world from its military terrorism origins just has to be a declaration of war.

What could be more of a deterrent than a magistrate passing a penalty of three months compulsory attendance at WAPOL rehearsals, at the same time as polishing and cleaning all the accoutrements??

Interesting to note that The Floreat Tavern is no longer – it will soon have authentic rustic European charm… next to a shopping complex that sports airconditioning towers that look like prison guard towers.
I never did pick up that video about the history of Floreat Forum that was put aside for me. And I still can’t find any images of the pink tank that once stood guard out front. I found a human turd in that tank one fine, hot Perth day.

By 1980 PCC would have advanced to the stand alone sprinkler which sprays water out in a single jet on a semi circular
