a great record of one of THE players of the australian scene, unfortunatly marred by really, really inappropriate guitar playing. This tragically diminishes the album, which features some facinating versions of Billy's classic tunes.
I, and many, many other people in the (esp. melbourne) scene are deeply indebted to Billy for all the time and music he continues to pass onto us. I just hope they kept the original tapes and their might be the possiblity of a re-release in the future sans-backing....
