God - God

GOD - Melbourne's legendary 80s smutty teen rockers! The definitive collection, double CD, 40 tracks: Their complete recordings, scorchingly remastered, including the much loved and much covered hit single "My Pal":After over a decade out of print, this self-titled release collects all the band s original studio output from their globally appreciated (& oft covered) 7" debut My Pal (one of the biggest selling Aussie indie singles of its day, with the memorable lyric You re my only friend, you don t even like me and now a sought-after collector s item) to their explosive mini-album Rock is Hell and their much lauded full-length album For Lovers Only. Issued at the time across the USA, Germany, Spain, UK & Canada, and locally on the mighty Au-Go-Go label, these tracks will take you back & bring it all home for you once again with this highly anticipated reissue. In fully digitally remastered form (thanks to original GOD producer Simon Grounds) the Rock & the Roll, the mirth & the merriment (along with some thorny barbs along the way) take charge & power out with all guns blazing. And as an extra bonus DISC TWO features the two rare cover tracks (Reall Cool Time by IGGY & THE STOOGE, & Strutter by KISS) from two long out-of-print Au-Go-Go releases, along with over a dozen wild cuts from GOD s very last live show in July 1989 at Richmond s Central Club Hotel, now available for the first time. The 4 members Tim Hemensley, Matthew Whittle, Sean Greenway & Joel Silbersher chop & change instruments & vocal duties, taunt the audience & generally misbehave throughout a fine set of energy loaded sonic shenanigans. This release comes packaged in a gatefold Soft-Pak with new liner notes from longtime friend Leaping Larry L along with a swag of photos & more. After splitting, the GOD-boys went on to the Powder Monkeys, Hoss, Tendrils, Yes-Men, Bored!, Dark Horses & many other projects. GOD still remains a heavily supported online presence viawww.myspace.com/godaustralia & www.facebook.com/godrock which are promoting this release, & GOD s music receives regular rotation on both local radio & ABC-TV s Rage, as well as continuing to be a solid Oz fave for many a music lover both here & across the seas. plus two rare covers and GOD's apocalyptic last gig from 1989. Great liner notes from close aide (!) Leaping Larry L.
