All of these sound way better from the original Australian records - so glad I can share them with you all today

Yes. Easybeas are back

I started collecting the Easybeats when I was a teenager, after getting their Rhino compilation - it changed my life.

The audio quality of the show has taken a great leap forward since I last profiled the Easybeats 11 years ago - and back then it was just for 30 minutes.

Decided to play the original UK 45 for this, though there is a different US single mix and a Rhino stereo mix.
Avatar 6:18pm
cometothesunshine:

The Easybeats parents were each given ten pounds to move to Australia - they are a truly international band, but may forever be known as Australia's Beatles
Avatar 6:19pm
cometothesunshine:

This is a small exhibit of what an impressive live band they were at their peak.
Avatar 6:21pm
cometothesunshine:

Their follow-up to Friday On My Mind - Who'll Be The One - was the subject of some indecision. It was not a hit, but led the way for a number of inventive recordings in 1967 & 1968
Avatar 6:22pm
cometothesunshine:

George Young was the band's creative visionary - he experimented with songwriting and arrangements until he perfected a simple style that took him into the 1970's
  6:22pm
Tim_Elliott:

It's a shame they didn't have another big hit in the US
Avatar 6:23pm
cometothesunshine:

It really is
Avatar 6:24pm
cometothesunshine:

George is most famous as the producer and mentor for AC/DC - but he was responsible for so much more. In recent times, he was obsessed with computers and soccer.
Avatar 6:26pm
KarenS:

Every song so far should have been played on am radio here.
Avatar 6:26pm
cometothesunshine:

This track was recorded at their first session in London, August 1966 - at Abbey Road Studios. Brian Epstein wanted to manage the band, apparently.
Avatar 6:29pm
cometothesunshine:

They were blessed with three distinctive lead singers and a twin guitar sound that put most bands to shame.
  6:29pm
Sharleen:

First time listening, Andrew. The sound is incredible, so thank you! Will this be a podcast or a downloadable something for future listens?
Avatar 6:29pm
KarenS:

Vocals sound Hollies-ish on that last one.

Sharleen - it will be on this site in their archive, yes!

The first of several marital infidelity songs we will hear today - this is such an emotional epic
Avatar 6:33pm
cometothesunshine:

The US single mix is so great, luckily I have bought dozens of copies to present you with the one you are hearing today.
Avatar 6:33pm
cometothesunshine:

They later brought it back to the UK and tinkered with the production - they also rerecorded it, though nothing can top this.
  6:33pm
Sharleen:

Awesome!! And thanks Debbie D.!
Avatar 6:35pm
cometothesunshine:

This was a track recorded in late 1967 that the band shelved. When they split up in 1969, their Australian label issued it as a single Down Under.
Avatar 6:37pm
cometothesunshine:

The arranger for these tracks, Bill Shepherd, is best known for his work with the Bee Gees
Avatar 6:38pm
cometothesunshine:

The Easybeats loaned early Bee Gees guitarist, Vince Melouney, a guitar so he could audition for the band. He got the job and the two bands shared a distinctive style in late 1967.
Avatar 6:39pm
cometothesunshine:

This song was covered by the Raiders and Gary Walker & The Rain
Avatar 6:40pm
cometothesunshine:

This song was written by George Young, Harry Vanada and Easybeats drummer, Tony Cahill
Avatar 6:41pm
cometothesunshine:

Even in their orchestral period, the Easybeats retained their signature guitar sound.
Avatar 6:43pm
cometothesunshine:

The logo for my show is adapted from a single for this song - The Music Goes Round My Head
Avatar 6:48pm
cometothesunshine:

Such a gorgeous song
Avatar 6:49pm
cometothesunshine:

And a wonderful spacious mono mix
Avatar 6:49pm

They must have loved this song - they mixed it and edited it over and over
Avatar 6:50pm
cometothesunshine:

If only we lived in a world where this was a hit song
Avatar 6:52pm
cometothesunshine:

The Easybeats took quite a leap in emotional depth after Falling Off The Edge Of The World
  6:52pm
Gentlemantony:

Loving the show so far. Great to hear Baby I'm Comin' from the Shame Just Drained LP, and I liked the version of Land of Make Believe I just heard.
Avatar 6:53pm
cometothesunshine:

Thanks Gentleman!
  6:53pm
Gentlemantony:

And thanks for playing the superior US version of Falling of the Edge of the World- this is the version Lou Reed must have fallen in love with.
Avatar 6:53pm
cometothesunshine:

Here is another song about marital infidelity!
Avatar 6:54pm
cometothesunshine:

That's certainly the version I am in love with - Lou Reed had good taste. He also loved Lazy Old Sun by the Kinks.
  6:54pm
Gentlemantony:

And now the Shame Just Drained- has a group ever had such a great collection of songs they never released before their disbanding?
Avatar 6:55pm
cometothesunshine:

They didn't release songs when they should have
Avatar 6:55pm
cometothesunshine:

And there are more unissued songs from this era that have never been issued
  6:55pm
Gentlemantony:

And at least one critic hated Lazy Old Sun- great track off of Something Else.
  6:56pm
Gentlemantony:

One question I was going to ask George Young on his Tumblr account but never did was the proposed line-up for the aborted Good Times LP. Have any idea of the tracklist?
Avatar 6:56pm
cometothesunshine:

Another shaky relationship song
Avatar 6:57pm
cometothesunshine:

I have a very good idea of the tracklist - the album was delivered to United Artists in the US by their manager.
Avatar 6:58pm
cometothesunshine:

All of the multitracks are still vaulted in the UK - they have never been properly presented
  6:58pm
Gentlemantony:

By the way, the sound quality of these songs are amazing. Sound better than on the Repertoire Records CDs I have of all this.

I agree with Tony ... listening on TuneIn and sounds amazing!

I made an error in announcing Where Did You Go Last Night - actually first appeared on the Raven EP, Son Of Son Of Easyfever

Thanks Tony & Karen - I spent about 7 hours on this show in post production getting everything to sound just right.
Avatar 7:05pm
cometothesunshine:

I regret never getting to talk with George - I had no idea about his Tumblr - but go figure. I was in Sydney last year and had hoped to make a connection.
Avatar 7:06pm
cometothesunshine:

Unfortunately, most of the Easybeats material has never been presented in proper fidelity from the original tapes.
  7:06pm
gentlemantony:

Never, EVER heard Moonshine and Whiskey Galore, so you fulfilled your Facebook guarantee of me hearing an Easybeats track for the first time.
Avatar 7:07pm
cometothesunshine:

I am a pretty honest guy these days!
  7:08pm
Tim_Elliott:

Do the master tapes still exist?
  7:08pm
gentlemantony:

Watch Me Burn, great one.
Avatar 7:09pm
cometothesunshine:

Many of them yes. But it would require time and effort - which I am prepared to do, but I have been talking about this for 20 years.
  7:13pm
gentlemantony:

With the great work you did on the Monkees Rhino reissues, whoever owns the master tapes should take you up on it.

I have been trying

Step Back could have been a hit for the Easybeats too!

  7:23pm

KarenS is correct. Andrew is the man to do it. Now that we're onto covers, can the Valentines' version of My Old Man's a Groovy Old Man be far behind?
Avatar 7:24pm
cometothesunshine:

A lot of tough choices for today's show, Tony

Pretty Girl, the next song after Friday on My Mind that I loved from the Easybeats.
Avatar 7:37pm
cometothesunshine:

should have been an A-side too
Avatar 7:38pm
cometothesunshine:

they were too prolific for their own good
  7:38pm
gentlemantony:

Andrew, you're a bigger fan of Volume 3 than I am. Love Sorry, Funny Feeling, Snowy's Today, and especially the First Day of May, but feel there's some not sturdy tracks on it.
  7:39pm
gentlemantony:

An odd B-side to Heaven and Hell. I couldn't see Pretty Girl be THE followup to Friday, but would have been better than Who'll Be the One.
  7:40pm
gentlemantony:

Great mix of Easy.

I think Volume 3 is their most consistent Australian album

Nice to hear St. Louis not in fake stereo

Their style changed drastically in 68/69 - this was the style Vanda/Young stuck with for the first half of the 1970's
Avatar 7:50pm
cometothesunshine:

In the late 1970's they went "new wave" techno with Flash & The Pan
Avatar 7:52pm
cometothesunshine:

Here is one of their early post Easybeats 45's as Moondance: "Lazy River"
Avatar 7:56pm
cometothesunshine:

I always wondered if Ray Singer produced this track, the flip of St. Louis - sounds pretty basic, like they could have done it themselves.
