grossly underrated in this country mainly due to the fact they weren't a "rock band" when Australia loved it's rock, they were so innovative especially with the first album Bonk (Produced by Nick Launay) , wasn't so much a fan of the 2nd album though, thought they changed their sound too much. This remix wasn't available here but the remixer Rosi also remixed Break Away which was released here as the "Remix" 2nd 12" single here in Oz.
@@australian12extendedmixes53 Yeah Bonk is definitely better than the follow up. Taste It & Hanging Tree are great from You Luck People, but yes the sound changed. I first got Bonk on LP new in '88, and only 12 months ago got You Lucky... from Discogs also on vinyl. Plus have the 1986 EP & Breakway on 12", brilliant song. Think I like the 7" version of B'away better, the beginning of the song sends shivers, awesome. Found the 12" a little "too fussy/overdone", taking away some of the minilmist impact of the 7". Launay's work is outstanding, notably though (I just looked at the cover of my B'away 12), Nick produced it & some New Yorker called Roli Mossiman remixed it, no doubt for the US market, same as this Hungry Town remix, but I actually really like this. But Launay, wow - a genius. Produced my fave album by my #1 band of all time, INXS' The Swing. And Dekadance, WOW! Spectacular remix album,. Thanks for this & many of your other great uploads, particularly Jenny Morris' You're Gonna Get Hurt 👌
I Remember This Song By Big Pig. I Love This Song So Much. Thanks @australian12extendedmixes53 For Uploading This Song.
They were only around for a short time, 1986 to 1991, but two great LP's were made. So original too!!
