Some, like OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN and the Easybeats left to seek international fame and fortune, while others like the Twilights, Zoot and the Strangers had to settle for localised success - though many became international names in the 1970s. POP DOWN UNDER is a thrilling survey of the kind of teenage noise that kept Australasia ticking in the late 60s, much of which was at least as good as what was coming out of London, New York and LA. It includes the Who-like powerpop of ZOOT's 'Flying', RUSSELL MORRIS's orchestrated, seven-minute psych epic 'Part Three Into Paper Walls', the ATLANTICS' garage-punk heartstopper 'Come On', and the unique folk-beat of VALERIA VENGERS' eerie 'There's a Scarlet River Flowing'. Other highlights include: *OLIVIA NEWTONJOHN's debut single, the hard-edged folk rocker 'Till You Say You'll Be Mine' *THE VALENTINES, featuring singer Bon Scott, years before AC\/DC were formed *THE \u003cbr\u003eVEGETABLE GARDEN's uber- rare, highly desirable psychedelic 45 'Hypnotic Suggestion' POP DOWN UNDER has been compiled and lovingly annotated by Saint Etienne's BOB STANLEY, and expertly mastered by award- winning engineer NICK ROBBINS. If you want to know just what was going on in Australia and New Zealand during the heady creative days of the late 1960s, then POP DOWN UNDER is exactly where you should start.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTracks: Trip On Life - Chris Malcolm \/ Till You Say You ll Be Mine - Olivia NewtonJohn \/ Cathy Come Home - The Twilights \/ When I Was Six Years Old - Ronnie Burns \/ Elevator Driver - The Master s Apprentices \/ Come On - The Atlantics \/ Renaissance Fair - The Human Instinct \/ Sunshine River - Gemini \/ Take the Time - The Strangers \/ He s Bad Bad Bad - Allison Durbin \/ Woman You re Breaking Me - The Groop \/ I Feel Good - Larry s Rebels \/ She Said (Feat \/ 2 000 Weeks - Terry Britton \/ Sally s Line - The Fourmyula \/ Part 3 Into Paper Walls - Russell Morris \/ Flying - Zoot \/ The House Beside the Mine - Hayden Wood \/ Hypnotic Suggestion - The Vegetable Garden \/ Bring a Little Lovin - The Easybeats \/ Lady - Johnny Young \u0026amp; Kompany \/ There s a Scarlet  River Running - Valeria Vengers \/ Hurt Love and Fire - Chris Malcolm \/ Moments of the Soft Persuasion - The Inner Circle\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ACE RECORDS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47779547021468,"sku":"CDTOP1683","price":14.71,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/3_cdfb0f4f-d4d4-407f-a712-b5fa951e574e.jpg?v=1790769891","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/various-artists-pop-down-under-1966-1970-cd-jewel-case","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
