six air VM to where here But you're listening today?
Speaker 2 (00:06):
This is Clezy and Lisa's podcast. Coming up on the podcast,
continuing our series The History of sum Today it's all
about Vinyl records.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Tex Perkins came in and you okay. We talked about
the Rolling Stones review and the fact that Tex wants
to hire Lisa for multiple jobs.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
You've heard of Night at the Museum, what about Noody
Night at the Museum.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
York Festival with clothes on. We spoke to Joe Bryant.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
And Jeff Bezos. Very rich Man has a very.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Fast new toy, Lisa. I noticed this story has come
out from the Dorset Museum. Visitors to the Dorset Museum
may very soon be going to a special event which
they're hosting the museum. The museum, of course has had
some incredible changes. They had to be revamp, costing about
thirty million bucks recently. So it's a pretty flash place.
A bit of flashing might go on because they're hosting
a special private viewing for naturists. Naturists I should say, okay,
(00:58):
I was going to say, with privates in full view,
I would imagine because the price of a ticket for
the nudies includes a glass of wine, changing facilities and
a locker for your clothing as you walk around the music.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Hang on, they're gonna have a naked knife.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
They're having a moody night.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Museum.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Why maybe if you want to get your kid off,
that's the freedom again?
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Why? Well, not sure, I'm not sure exactly. Whyn't what
a stranger's exhibits clapping around in my face? Sure?
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Yes, sure, but with his luck for like like they're
rangers with their own their own peeps, you know what
I'm saying. They'll be strutting around and checking out the
old Bones and other exhibits.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
We know they rarely look like Hugh Jackman on day
one of filming Woaverine. We understand, we understand.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Not everyone who likes to get their gear off and
the parade around is in great nick you.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
See fast forward. That's right.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Didn't he do that?
Speaker 2 (02:02):
However?
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Dorset Museum and on alone because the French Museum, Mars
Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilizations, they're getting their people
can get their gear off, but you have to wear
shoes at that one.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Oh that nothing looks sillier than a naked person in
shoes great round in the shoes.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Well, people judge you purely on your shoes, then your
shoes and your smile. I bet their crocs true, They
probably would be crocs or maybe some flip flop of
some kind of variety.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Probably not a nice Manolo Blannet quite possibly. Not judging
then you're going to go all that stuff about that
kind of nice unbelievable. So I mean, can you see
it happening in Perth? People nuding up a bit more
at some big events?
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Do we? Is there a big nude community here? I wouldn't.
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
I don't know how big the community is, but size
doesn't matter least let's.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Be the size of the community.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
But think about it, like we love going to Coddessloafa
scrowed them by the sea. Could you imagine maybe not
Swan board booms at the bell tower. I don't know,
I know Swan, But there's a nudy beach at swanmb
really isn't now? I think?
Speaker 5 (03:05):
So?
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Probably not too many down there this morning, I would imagine.
But yeah, so if you want to go to Dorset Museum,
you'll get a little locker for your gear changing facilities
in a glass of wine.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
I feel like this is a good time to remind
you that you can text us at any time on
zero four seven six ninety six, ninety six ninety six.
Maybe you know all about the Perth nody community.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
You may know what's going on, yeah, or you may
just want to complain that I said the words go
I'm on the radio, I don't know what twice.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Now I know. This is a journey into pop up
the val your crazy releases. The history of sound. This
week we are looking at the history of sound in
the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia has kindly
teamed up with us to talk all about it. Today.
We are looking at vinyl records. I mean, who can
forget doing this?
Speaker 3 (03:57):
That's a well worn one.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Is a well worn one. They sounded like that. From
the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia. Crispian Windsor
good morning, welcomete.
Speaker 6 (04:07):
Good morning, Yes, good to talk to you both.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Thanks for joining us. Now, when was the first vinyl
record made?
Speaker 6 (04:15):
It was nineteen forty eight. That's when things started to
get a bit different. They were Shilac records up to
that point, but then they winded records to go a
bit longer and to be made of more of a
durable quality, and nineteen forty eight was the first time
that was done, and I think they were sold in
nineteen forty nine, include.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Seventy eight and forty five, and.
Speaker 6 (04:34):
Well seventy eights. Forty five was slightly later. It was
seventy eight still in nineteen forty eight. Yeah, they were
certainly around on silac, but that was still the standard
in nineteen forty eight until they started to get the
bigger thirty three C three inches C three upy in.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Sorry yeah, yeah, twelve inches.
Speaker 6 (04:54):
Seven inch discs whitch of forty five revolutions permittent correct?
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Okay, so what can you explain what schilacky is for?
Speaker 5 (04:59):
Status?
Speaker 3 (05:00):
When they were going from god, I think of a
in the footy, what was.
Speaker 6 (05:05):
Yeah, well, it was a much different sort of piece
of material where it was very very brittle, and the
sound wasn't that great either, but it was very easy
to break and it didn't take much further things first
to like just to shatter this and yeah, there's the
sound wasn't fantastic either, so something had to be done.
(05:26):
I think at that point.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Why were there so many formats and recording lengths with
the vinyl album There were a lot.
Speaker 6 (05:34):
It took them a long time to come up with
the sort of a standardized size and format. There were
some the speeds at points, sometimes it was a slow
at sixty revolutions per minute, and even as fast as
one hundred and thirty revolutions per minute.
Speaker 7 (05:51):
Which is pretty fast.
Speaker 6 (05:54):
It took a long time.
Speaker 5 (05:55):
They really didn't.
Speaker 6 (05:56):
The records weren't standardized to seventy eight rpm until much later,
and then in nineteen forty eight is when there was
sandardized more into seventiest discs and twelve inch discs.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Absolutely move, We'll be into the second hand shop, spoken
to Nana and seeing those really old heavy things they build,
and yeah, they were very weighty, very sick, weren't they.
Speaker 6 (06:15):
Absolutely, Yeah they're really heavy. Yeah I don't have any myself,
but yeah, you can still see them around in off
tops and things like that. At times.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
I always used to be fascinated by the fact that
my albums just had the little hole to put, you know,
over the you know, onto the record player, and my
dad's old seventy eighths had like a big sort of
elaborate pattern in the middle that was cut out. Why
the different cutouts.
Speaker 6 (06:41):
Well, that's a very American thing mainly with it was
just the juke boxes, so the big yeah, yeah, we
used to juke boxes. You can still get them around.
Some people still make them with a bigger hole. But
basically it was the jukeboxes in America.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Primarily, and it is also is that why they're measured
in inches? Just an American totally yeah.
Speaker 6 (07:02):
I for some reason that never changed when it went
around the world. Always say changed, yeah, seven inch and.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Twelve inches because most of my twelve inch remix extandard
versions that I waited six months to come to a right,
those are coming from the UK. So yeah, yes, yes, Chris,
that's the reason.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
What about rock and roll? I mean rock and roll,
you know, the music changed, and so did the way
that people young people bought music so that they really
annoy their parents. It did change. Did the distribution changed
to it didn't there, I really.
Speaker 6 (07:36):
Did, And I think a lot of that was with
the portability of.
Speaker 5 (07:39):
Record players as well.
Speaker 6 (07:40):
You start to get really small once people could sort
of take any words to anybody's houses, and vinyl really
was a big revolution that especially the forty the seven
inch discs around that time. Singles start to be extremely
popular in the nine and fifties from the onset of
rock and roll.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
When when did the first vinyl pressing plant open in Australia.
Speaker 6 (08:00):
Well, it was actually CBS Records later Sony in nineteen
fifty four. That was the first one and there used
to be several, but now there's currently only three pressing
plants in Australia.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Oh wow, is it started to pick up again in
recent times, isn't it? That's the thing it has.
Speaker 6 (08:16):
Yeah, so there's one, there's two mo one called Zennis
and one called Program Zens. Originally was called Cordiali and
that was around for a long time, but the program
is fairly new, that's been about three or four years.
And there's also a fairly new one in Brisbane court
Suitcase Records.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
They are, of course, vinyl albums making a huge comeback.
What do you put it down to, Crispian.
Speaker 6 (08:37):
I think I think with when they were basically replaced
by CDs, the artwork's very small on those, and then
when CDs start to go and be replaced by digital
I think there's a lot of people, including myself, which
just loves the physical, physical product. And I think Vinyl
with the size, you know, it's a real effort to
(08:58):
listen to Vinyl in a way. I think a lot
of people really love that, you know.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Yeah, the loarning notes experience, all that. Yeah, the notes
on the album. You spent all day just lying there
reading that from the lyrics beginning to end. Hear the lyrics.
Speaker 6 (09:12):
The lyric now very important, Yeah, absolutely, And like I
still remember lyrics now just because I read them off
Vinyl back when I was a kids.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Yeah, hey, Christian, that was correct.
Speaker 7 (09:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
I want to go one of the clock back to
sort of like a sort of wartime first and the
Second World War and beyond that where servicemen from the
States would take blues records to the UK and then
eventually they ended up with a whole lot of bands
like the Stones, and that with the British invasion of
the US, so it went all the way back. But they
were pretty pretty remarkable. So many people traveled with records
that didn't break.
Speaker 6 (09:44):
Yeah, absolutely, And I think that was part of the
issue with Schilac originally. Yeah, got Vinyl like that. Yeah,
I think that that was the reason why. You're absolutely right.
I think a lot of people credit that's happening with
Liverpool and the Beatles gainst so many records because it
was a poor town.
Speaker 7 (10:00):
Hmmm.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Of course. The main drawback of them, as we remember
was they would scratch and they would skip. Was there
were companies around the world trying the hardest to come
up with, you know, the magic answer to that, because
they would have made, you know, a mozza. No one
ever really did come up with an answer to it,
did they.
Speaker 6 (10:21):
No, they didn't, they didn't. I think the only thing
you can get around it is cleaning records from the
get go. I cleaned all my records, whether they're old
or new.
Speaker 5 (10:29):
And the way that gets.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
Rid of dust and dust is a part of the
problem where you start to get skipping and to scratching.
It's hard to get rid of scratches, of course, but
you can get dust and started quite easily.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
When you take it off, put it back in the bag.
Don't just put it on the foreway next one. Hear
the end of that exactly.
Speaker 6 (10:48):
Yeah, absolutely, I'm really bored about all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
I don't probably helped Chrispian wh A couple of recent
changes have been the heavier vinyl. Can you explain what
that means? Because you know, people spend seventy eight eighteen
ninety dollars on an album now and in recent weeks
we've given away these one step albums that we gave
away the last four weeks, So what's the technology there,
what's going on with those?
Speaker 6 (11:10):
I guess a lot of those will be to do
with virgin vinyls, so they're not recycled. It's the first
batch of vinyl. It's that technically, that's to mean it's
the best quality and there's nothing else happening happening to them,
so it's version file.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
They are a lot.
Speaker 6 (11:25):
Heavier as a result, and that's that's the way around.
That is just the better quality, the technically the best
quality you can get. But that does make them expensive.
Speaker 5 (11:37):
Yah.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Of course, do you play vinyl at home or are
you a stranger?
Speaker 8 (11:43):
Oh don't know.
Speaker 6 (11:43):
I do stream as well, but I very much final.
I've got quite quite a large vinyl collection, and only
DJ Vinyl was well.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
What was your first vinyl record?
Speaker 6 (11:53):
Yeah, I think I think it's hard to say, but
I believe it might have been This Whole House by
Shake and Stephens.
Speaker 8 (12:00):
I think so.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Yeah, that'll get it well from the few people here. Yeah,
it was a green door. It was like England's Elvis, wasn't.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
He for time? That's great, we're not judging Co's. Actually
I have to say, it's not like I have it now.
And by the way, mine was probably arrival, so I
wasn't really dear.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
I played that to death. Minma Sherbert's how's that? Only
because my sisters meant for two weeks? She goes, I'll
buy you, and I reckon. I lasted about three days.
You still bought it for me. Very sweet.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
That's great, Christian, thank you so much for giving us
a bit more insight into the history of vinyl. And
it's good to know that there are still some places
in Australia pressing them.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (12:53):
Absolutely, And you can learn more about the vinyl and
that radio one hundred expression at an episode doc after
brilliant excellent.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Thanks Christian, Thanks very much.
Speaker 6 (13:03):

Speaker 2 (13:19):
Can I be honest with you?
Speaker 3 (13:20):
When I was a little kid, mile Man made me
a Beyorn Star guitar out of wood Really he's pretty good.
Would he made a wooden stargeting you couldn't play it
had no strings? You can said it on five though, Yeah,
you could say that that wasn't really have a star.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Was more c More Lisa More podcasts soon, with vinyl
the subject of our History of Sound series. Today, we're
talking about your favorite vinyl memories. Tim and Billy says,
in the early seventies, when I was thirteen, you could
join a record club and get six free albums for
just agreeing to buy for one month. I still remember
(13:56):
the excitement of when they arrived, and my favorite one
was Alice Cooper Welcome to My Night.

Oh yes, back in the early days when they were Flowers,
have a Davies, they were Flowers.
Speaker 10 (14:40):
Yeah, yeah, vinyl and I stupidly got rid of some
of my albums when c D's came in, thinking oh,

Speaker 3 (15:06):
And the vinyl some of the vinyls ninety dollars and

Speaker 2 (15:11):
All rare, you know, extended remixes that I said, I waited,
you know, three months arrive at d Records or whatever.
They you wouldn't I don't know if you'd even find
them now.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
The collector's items now on discogs, that's what you do discogs.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
And stew And Bell Divers said his first record was
Adam and the Ants Stand and Deliver.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Oh wow, that's funny about people who had the you know,
when you had the picture disc because that was like
a really big deal.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
It was just a colored one of some sort, anything
that was a bit different. Clayton from Canning Bell said
he pretty much wore out the grooves on Breakfast in
America by Supertramp. Great album, some.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Really great pop songs on there.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
And tell you what, Sandy in Hall's Head says, I
didn't own any but I would go over to my
next door neighbor and she had a little portable turntable
under her bed and we would put popcorn on. Oh
that one, I think Brad and Leming what about you?
Speaker 11 (16:06):
My first? My first was a single Robert Palmers, He
Makes my Day. Probably I was probably too young for
the albums at that stage, but I've well and truly
made up for it now. From Addicted to vinylt Vinyl
do a weekly blog of an album each week, the
first to the Instagram called.
Speaker 5 (16:24):
Harry's the Week.
Speaker 11 (16:25):
If anyone's anyone's listening out there or followers of the wind,
so yeah, har Harry is on the week.
Speaker 5 (16:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
It can be an addiction because it's a whole ritual,
you know, the whole taking it out of the bag,
just making sure it's all you know, shiny clean, putting
it on, moving the needle across.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Even going to record phase. Yeah, going through through the
buckets of albums that record fairs is fun, Brad.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Yeah, digging through that, that's that whole experience, searching for gold.
Speaker 11 (16:55):
The cover arts fantastic too, love it.
Speaker 6 (16:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
And then you get the collectors who've got six copies
of different albums, and you go, I've got six, and go, well,
some are in different condition, but that's serious.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Thanks. You remember the ripper albums, the compilation album circle
mid seventies. You'd never see that today. Well, you'd see
a woman's bum with a tiny short the album. Yeah,
the track listing was written on the bare buttock of
a torn pair of jeans, cut off short a pair
of daisy dukes. Yes, but they were ripped, right. I
(17:30):
guess that's why they were called because they were ripper songs.
Speaker 5 (17:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Also, compilation albums.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
Brains, aren't they?
Speaker 2 (17:42):
They are eched our brains. Melinda in Innerloo, what are
your vinyl memories? Meda, Hey, how are you going for us? Yeah?
Speaker 12 (17:52):
My god used to work for mal at wall in
per He used to own all the jukeboxes around the pups. Yes,
and as a twelve thirteen year old. My job was
to type up on a manual typewrite all the labels
that went into the jukeboxes.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Oh wow, okay.
Speaker 12 (18:09):
And then I used to get in my dad's ute
and go around to all the pubs and change the like,
get the old records and put in the new ones.
And I was allowed to keep a whole set of
the records, which were changed on a monthly basis.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
Sweet.
Speaker 12 (18:23):
So I literally had thousands of forty five yeah, in
a crate at home. But the worst part is when
my parents decided to fill in their underground swimming pool,
they used them as a filler.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
No, oh my god. It became imagine if someone thinks
that swimming pull up one day to.
Speaker 6 (18:46):
Cards washing machine.
Speaker 12 (18:48):
Yeah, it would be like an you know Indiana Jones.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Yeah, maybe a little brother who knows Wow, Linda, and
now that well, he's a great business man and a
wonderful man with a person club.
Speaker 12 (19:00):
Yes that's right, Yes, that's right. And he and a
friend of mine back in the day was getting into DJing.
So yeah, his warehouse was just full of forty five.
So he came, David Wells was his name. He came
and he grabbed as many as he could possibly put
into his car, and he used him when he was
(19:20):
using his DJing jobs around the trip.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
I don't believe you filled in the pool.
Speaker 12 (19:27):
I know, cry think about it.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Thanks Melenda, Thanks Melinda, Welcome. I could have made that
beautiful sound.

Yes, everyone's got a vital story. I love this from
kateon Double says, my first album was The Village People,
which I won in a six pm coloring in competition. Coloring.
I never won a coloring in competition. I went outside
and also I went in all different directions.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
Oh yeah it man, Yeah, but there's nothing wrong with
outside the lines. We always inside. That's funny. What do
you have to like coloring? Like a picture of Yorky

can visualize this. This was decades ago, but I can
visualize it. He once again lost his stuff because I
was going to ruin it. You're going to ruin my
stylist for.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
That awful, bloody music, going to blow it up.
Speaker 7 (21:36):
I remember it was like an eighteen year old trying
to just explain the physics.
Speaker 8 (21:41):
Of how it works. For the vibrants. You're ruining my needle.
So I went I went down and bought my own stylists,
and when I used it, I used to have to
change the needle to.
Speaker 7 (21:54):
Make him happy.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
I didn't have to touch his max fibra. Yeah, God,
somebody else.
Speaker 8 (22:01):
He actually had one of those Whirlitzer record players, which
the speaker when I ran playing all this, I mean,
I've got jazz. I've got that from him, but only
like my like my metal as well. But yeah, takes
me right back.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
You did have to see your iron made on the weekend,
did you?
Speaker 5 (22:21):
No?
Speaker 8 (22:22):
I didn't.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
I didn't.
Speaker 8 (22:23):
I've seen that. I've seen the Irons quite a few times.
Speaker 7 (22:25):
On the last the last time I saw them, I
stood there with my brother and we didn't know any
of the songs.
Speaker 8 (22:31):
They were only released about they were only released about
two thousand albums.
Speaker 7 (22:36):
I didn't.
Speaker 8 (22:37):
I didn't know any of the songs. And we looked
at each other and said, bloody hell, what happened to
the Iron Maiden that we used to go and see
years and years ago? But that's life.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
Yeah, never mind Run of the Hills, thanks to.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
Look.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
If Jake was a bit more passionate, he'd be better
on the radio.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Great, I can say I relate to that with his
dad Gavin and Ashfield. Hello, get a pleasing.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Big day.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
We're celebrating Vinyl as you know, Yeah, happy days.
Speaker 5 (23:05):
Jake's got a great story and yeah, yeah what do
you go for you right?
Speaker 1 (23:10):
I'm a bit embarrassed to say what my first record
really was, so I won't tell you that one. But
the first record of the first record that I bought
in a record club, which used to I'm sending like
a money order, your order, and then it'd be delivered
in cardboard boxes some weeks later. It was just like
Christmas was Eagles, Eagles, Desperado.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Yes you're talking.
Speaker 10 (23:33):
And if you didn't want to.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Do it that way, the other way was in Albany
you used to go to Keynote Music or the Chemists
and buy him from the Chemist Chemist. Yeah, which which
was where I didn't where I didn't buy that record
that won't be mentioned.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
It was it No, I'm not going there. I come on,
Was it BOI or something?
Speaker 5 (23:54):
Come on?
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Right? It was?
Speaker 1 (23:58):
It was Star Wars and other intergalactic fun.
Speaker 8 (24:03):
By Miko. I think it was.
Speaker 5 (24:07):
It was a mood record, mate, that'sn't wrong with that.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
Yeah, that was that was a huge hit.
Speaker 13 (24:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
We had the Star Wars soundtrack at our house and
that thing played into oblivion. Yeah exactly. Yeah, don't worry, Gavin,
it could be a lot worse.
Speaker 5 (24:26):
Yeah. A couple other things too.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
The old old mate who gave us the rundown of
record speeds and all the rest of the little known
record speed sixteen and two thirds sixteen exactly half of.
Speaker 5 (24:39):
A thirty three and a third.
Speaker 8 (24:41):
They didn't really know.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Well, I don't know why it took about a week
to go around one revolution.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
That's crazy.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
You didn't just make that happen, did you. Wasn't actual story, okay.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
And what I also found was when you had the
old thirty threes, if you got a scratch and you
used to keep going kick kick chick, if you played
it at forty five, they sounded like chipmunks for a start.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Oh yeah, of course.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
But sometimes it would cut a new groove and your
record would.
Speaker 5 (25:09):
Be good again.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Oh oh really, Well there you go once the once,
the scratch, scratch.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
And yeah yeah yeah you break away, yeah yeah yeah,
crack it then yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Thank you, thanks mane.
Speaker 5 (25:22):
Great.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
I remember having the Chipmunks Chipmunks single, and we played
it forty five and you played in thirty three and
it sounds like a bunch of session singers.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
It was so weird, Like the it was so weird.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
I was like, Oh, they've just got normal voices. That
just sped them up. I was so disappointed at Albert n.
Theodore and the other one.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
I got to mention Michael and Allen Brooks as his
favorite vinyl is the War of the World soundtrack. That
is that is a masterpiece. That'll speak about absolute masterpiece.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Was a bit too paranoid when you put that one on.
No trae is it really happening on?
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Yeah, well many thought it was.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
I did.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Yeah, they went to the great lengths, Richard Beton's Too Good,
Far Out.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Yeah, it's incredible.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Simon in Mosman Park, Good morning, the morning.
Speaker 14 (26:03):
Players and Lisa, great show.
Speaker 8 (26:05):
Thank you.
Speaker 14 (26:06):
My first record, My first record was Vienna by Ultravox. Yeah,
there was absolute classic. But my favorite is Goodbye Yellow
Brick Road by Elton John and I've.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Bought that on vinyl.
Speaker 14 (26:25):
I then had a car that had a cassette player
and I played and I bought the I bought the cassette,
the double cassette, and then I since bought the the
c D and of course now I've bought it on.
Speaker 8 (26:39):
Uh you know, Apple Music.
Speaker 14 (26:43):
It's great, but your your previous caller go the Irons.
Speaker 7 (26:49):
I called him in the berth.
Speaker 8 (26:51):
It was fantastic.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
Everyone talking to her saying it was wonderful.
Speaker 14 (26:55):
Well that's right, so yeah, so everyone in Perth it
was was great And I'm with you on Roultravox.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
That was such such a Vinyl moment that.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
Was Wasn't that a game change of that song with
this synthesizes midah everything about it.
Speaker 14 (27:10):
Yeah, yeah, it was just the quality of the sound
that was incredible, and the video was game changer too.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Yeah, beautiful, thanks of the memory, Simon. The Rolling Stones
Review is Rolling into Perth starring Text Perkins, Steve Kilby,
Sarah McLeod and Adelita, September thirteen at the Glorious Asta Theater.
Text Perkins is with us. Now, good morning, very well, welcome.
(27:41):
Now this thank you sounds awesome. The Rolling Stones Review
is a full blown rock and roll spectacle, starting with
the seminal Sticky Fingers album. That's going to be the
first half of the show. Widely considered one of the Stones'
best albums, twenty six million copies worldwide. I think anytime
a thing kicks off with the opening notes of brown Sugar,
(28:03):
you know you've got something good ahead of you.
Speaker 5 (28:07):
Well, yes, Sticky Fingers. The reason that I was lured
into this in the beginning was the Sticky Fingers is
my favorite, not only Stones albums, It might be my
favorite album of all time.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Oh my god, that is a big cat. That is
high praise.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
Depending on my mood, of course, absolutely, that's crazy.
Speaker 5 (28:27):
But now it's fascinated me from from a child. It
was one of the earliest cultural references that I had
to be the seed a darker side of life, right,
that album is just dripping with sex and drugs. As
(28:48):
a young child I was, it was very.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Curious and the album cover just is it amazing.
Speaker 5 (28:57):
Indeed, my brother had one of the original albums, was
the actual Zipper.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Oh my god, cool, and the sleeve was yeah.
Speaker 5 (29:05):
He pulled it out and then there was a man
in underpants.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
Yes, yeah, yeah, because he still got the.
Speaker 5 (29:10):
Copy which is not Big Jagger no, no, apparently now.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
It's a stunt underpanties man.
Speaker 5 (29:17):
Stunt growing is one of Andy Warhol designed that record cover.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
One of his is one of his models, yes, which
he had a few in the factory there. Yeah, absolutely
text always that question, mate, do you have a favorite
child from the album?
Speaker 5 (29:35):
Is there?
Speaker 3 (29:36):
And is it this? You've got a favorite song from
the album? Is it the best one to sing? Two
for you?
Speaker 5 (29:41):
No, My favorite song from the album is Moonlight mile right, yep,
And I do get to sing it without a leader's look.
It's more my favorite to listen to than to sing.
It's a bit tough to sing, really, but things like
also think like System Morphine, which just just it's quite chilling,
(30:06):
really authenticity. And then there's but I could sing other
tracks like Sway, which is the second song on the album,
and the one called I Got the Blues, which has
an incredible keyboard solo. But yeah, but the musicians that
(30:28):
are playing the music is it's backing band, and they're
sort of almost like nerds, rock and roll nerds just
for the details. They get all the details right, yeah,
you know, like you know, especially the guitar players and
the keyboard player. It's it's it's the finest exact details
(30:52):
that they get the music right. It's very impressive.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
So you will are you all for on stage at
the same time. It's not like it's not like the
three Tenors. You're not coming out one one at a
time and.
Speaker 5 (31:03):
Doing a song the very the very final finale. I
think we all will all come out together, okay, which
will probably the stones most famous song. If you could
probably guess what that might have been a fair idea.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
No, don't give it away, do you know what? You're not?
My favorite rolling Stone song? Hand had that one yourself.
My favorite Rolling Stone song is Memory Motel, which I
have Memory Motel from Black and Blue. That is my
absolute Second half of the show is other stuff.
Speaker 5 (31:44):
It's a collection of highlights of the Stones from the
sixties and seventies and a little bit of the eighties.
And now that we've got Steve Kilby on board, he's
taking it into some very interesting places. It's kind of
handling these sort of more psychedelic sixties kind of okay
(32:05):
stuff of the Stones. Okay, I believe that given too
much ways, he's chosen to do two thousand Light Years
from Home, Oh wow, yeah yeah, which is a fall
on psychedelic Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
Yeah, it's more piece Brian's territory yeah, Brian Jes Keith.
You can't have Stones without Keith the human riff and
having Jack Houst and Bad Loves and they played with
the Whitlams as well and meetting the Bad Love days.
He's great because there's only one key Riches. It doesn't
go over the top. He's just Keith. It's all about
(32:40):
the feel and the melody, isn't it Well?
Speaker 5 (32:42):
As I say, these guys get it, get the music.
So yeah, right, it's not just an approximation. Now as
I said, they're they're almost they're almost obsessively Nerdish's good,
which is great.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
But they make the best actual musicians, don't they the
ones that are nerdy, not the ones with the sticky fingers.
Speaker 5 (33:04):
When you're putting on a tribute show to a particular album, yes,
and people want to hear that album. Yeah, done correctly.
It's I mean vocally it's a bit of an interpretation
because none of us are Mick Jagan. Ye. Music wise,
it's spot on. Yeah, you can't argue with the details there.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
I know what you made. I would never have thought
being a Steely Dan frek I would go to see
a Steely Dan tribute act, but there was these brilliant
musics in Perth to Friends Restaurant a few years ago,
and their meticulous attention to detail was incredible.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
So really in the years was really in the ears.
You know what I'm saying, They're very nerdy.
Speaker 5 (33:44):
I think you're going to if you're going to present
an honor a particular piece of work, then yeah, I
think you've really got to pay attention to those details
which fans know.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
Yes, true, and they want to hear.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
So we referred to it as rolling into Perth. It is,
you know, it's a review. How is it being on
the road with these this lot?
Speaker 5 (34:08):
Pretty good. The whole thing's been spread out so it
hasn't been like a grinding tour. Oh okay, it's been
sort of separated. But by three weeks weekend of gigs
and then three weeks doing other stuff, right, I mean
the last thing we did was the Mundy Monkey Bash
(34:29):
out in a broken hill well and this enormous concert
in the middle of the desert, and that was amazing. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
I can imagine k here, you're not going off there unreal.
Speaker 5 (34:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
On another note, I was on a road trip the
other weekend text and one of the things that got
me through the long lonely road. Was listening to Text
and the Lady Boys again. It is so good on
a road trip. Is there going to be any more
of that?
Speaker 5 (35:00):
I always threaten it, threaten it.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
There's so many songs, so many songs that you've yet
to tackle.
Speaker 5 (35:06):
I know. Yeah, look, if you could give me, give
me a few, Willy, you can come on board and
produce the album.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
Okay, all right, there's the office.
Speaker 5 (35:22):
She want one of them, she'll be she'll be right,
you'll be right, Yes, it down.

Speaker 2 (35:39):
Yeah, taking notes? Fun examples, no serious, If no one's
ever heard these, they should They should do themselves a favor,
all right, Lisa.
Speaker 5 (35:49):
When I come to Perth, Well, well we'll go out

UK Sun, so take it with however, bigger grown of
salters you like. But the report claims Harry's seeking guidance

on a return to Britain and to the royal family.
I've always said it will happen eventually. Apparently those and
Harry's in a circle of noted He seems to be
enjoying regular solo trips back to the UK, with Megan

of One Tree Hill is in the works at Netflix,
or to say, the show's original stars, Sophia Bush and

Hillary Burton will not only reprise their roles but executive

fifteen million dollar private jet, something to tool around in

me love, won't she.
Speaker 2 (39:11):
The York Festival is on this month, September twenty to
twenty nine. You can get tickets through York Festival dot
com dot au. Joe Bryant is the coordinator of this
York stravaganza and she's with us now. Good morning, Joe, Jo, Welcome,
Good morning guys yorky would as we're calling you now, Joe,
considering you are the hot spot of all sorts of study,
(39:35):
are we are?
Speaker 13 (39:36):
There's barely a person in town who haven't had an
extra role.
Speaker 3 (39:40):
That's cool.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
There must just be such a fun atmosphere to be
in the midst of all that. I mean, Brian Brown
in town there?
Speaker 6 (39:48):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (39:49):
Well absolutely, sorry, go on.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
I was going to say, this is the eighth year
of the festival and and your cultural event celebrating York's
cultural history. Heritage and wonderful arts community.
Speaker 13 (40:02):
Yes, yes, absolutely, so we call ourselves a multi arts
festival and that allows us to pull in all sorts
of different acts, to really showcase a diverse range of
disciplines and offer something for everyone.
Speaker 3 (40:17):
Really, when you say something for everyone, so it's not
just doming as a huge jazz component here, but what else?
What can people get their teeth into with this one.
Speaker 13 (40:27):
Look, we've got a variety of performances, so we've got
a small play happening in one venue. We've got workshops
like paint and sip and collage boarding and sculptured play workshops.
We've got Flir Alder who's a stunning dancer who's performing
(40:49):
for us, but she's also running some workshops on contemporary
and creative dance techniques, and drawing workshops where instead of
life drawing, it's live drawing, the drawing, live dancer capturing
those shapes. We have got, as you say, a very
strong jazz component, but we've also got a broader range
(41:12):
of musics as well. So we have some beautiful pieces
at the Holy Trinity Church with our Silver Sounds Guitar Quartet,
and we've got Melody Paul as Well, who's an Australian
singer songwriter and she is launching her latest single in
advance of her international tour.
Speaker 2 (41:35):
It's great that jazz is part of this because a
lot of us do remember the Old York Jazz Festival
of Days of Yore. It was such an amazing weekend
and it's a beautiful thing about York with a festival
like this is it's not just the events that you
can attend, it's the buildings that they're in.
Speaker 13 (41:53):
Yep, yeah, yeah, So we have we're the first inland
town in WA and we have maintained of fully heritage
main Terrace and a lot of a lot of properties
around town. So we're utilizing the old West Australian Bank
for one of the venues. We've got the Imperial Homestead Hub,
(42:16):
We've got a new live music venue called the Rookery
that's in the back of the ancient shoemaker's shop. So
there's lots of lots of activities taking place in really
interesting buildings as well as of course our town Hall,
which is stunning.
Speaker 3 (42:34):
Absolutely, I'm pretty sure I saw that during the film
and during the watching the twelve last week I did.
Speaker 13 (42:41):
They renamed it as the courthouse.
Speaker 3 (42:45):
You're running September twenty to twenty nine, so there's plenty
of chances for people to come up. The many people
come and stays are much accommodation for them. I pop
in for one day quite often.
Speaker 2 (42:54):
Look, you can do either.
Speaker 13 (42:55):
York is a tourist town, so we do have plenty
of beautiful accommodation, although I think we're filling up very rapidly. Yeah, yeah,
but you know, we're just we're ninety minutes from the
center of Perth. We're an hour from Midlands. It's a
beautiful drive, a nice drive. It's a lovely drive, and
I think people are often surprised. I think it sounds
(43:18):
further away and then when they get here they're like, oh,
it only took me seventeen minutes.
Speaker 3 (43:24):
It's not Candenden.
Speaker 2 (43:28):
It's pretty easy, quite drivable.
Speaker 8 (43:31):
Yeah, and what are our.
Speaker 2 (43:33):
Chances of running into a celebrity filming about town during
that week? Are we on a down sort of time
at the moment because Runt's about to open that of
course film there. I believe Brian Brown had been in
town filming.
Speaker 13 (43:46):
Yeah, Sam Neil was in town. So yeah, it's been
very busy obviously we can't say we all go oh.
Speaker 2 (43:54):
That is why they like filming.
Speaker 3 (43:58):
That's a collective one. What happens in York days.
Speaker 11 (44:00):
New York.
Speaker 2 (44:01):
Yeah, absolutely absolutely.
Speaker 3 (44:03):
We want to do so the name drop.
Speaker 2 (44:04):
It's the eighth year at the festival. So much to do,
so much to see. It's September twenty to twenty nine.
You can get tickets through York Festival dot com. Dot
you Joe, thanks for chatting to us, Thanks so much,
Cleazie
Speaker 5 (44:17):
And Lisa ninety six am
How it by the My Heart Radio wapp from ninety
six air VM to where here But you're listening today?
Speaker 2 (00:06):
This is Clezy and Lisa's podcast. Coming up on the podcast,
continuing our series The History of sum Today it's all
about Vinyl records.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Tex Perkins came in and you okay. We talked about
the Rolling Stones review and the fact that Tex wants
to hire Lisa for multiple jobs.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
You've heard of Night at the Museum, what about Noody
Night at the Museum.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
York Festival with clothes on. We spoke to Joe Bryant.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
And Jeff Bezos. Very rich Man has a very.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Fast new toy, Lisa. I noticed this story has come
out from the Dorset Museum. Visitors to the Dorset Museum
may very soon be going to a special event which
they're hosting the museum. The museum, of course has had
some incredible changes. They had to be revamp, costing about
thirty million bucks recently. So it's a pretty flash place.
A bit of flashing might go on because they're hosting
a special private viewing for naturists. Naturists I should say, okay,
(00:58):
I was going to say, with privates in full view,
I would imagine because the price of a ticket for
the nudies includes a glass of wine, changing facilities and
a locker for your clothing as you walk around the music.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Hang on, they're gonna have a naked knife.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
They're having a moody night.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Museum.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Why maybe if you want to get your kid off,
that's the freedom again?
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Why? Well, not sure, I'm not sure exactly. Whyn't what
a stranger's exhibits clapping around in my face? Sure?
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Yes, sure, but with his luck for like like they're
rangers with their own their own peeps, you know what
I'm saying. They'll be strutting around and checking out the
old Bones and other exhibits.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
We know they rarely look like Hugh Jackman on day
one of filming Woaverine. We understand, we understand.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Not everyone who likes to get their gear off and
the parade around is in great nick you.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
See fast forward. That's right.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Didn't he do that?
Speaker 2 (02:02):
However?
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Dorset Museum and on alone because the French Museum, Mars
Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilizations, they're getting their people
can get their gear off, but you have to wear
shoes at that one.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Oh that nothing looks sillier than a naked person in
shoes great round in the shoes.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Well, people judge you purely on your shoes, then your
shoes and your smile. I bet their crocs true, They
probably would be crocs or maybe some flip flop of
some kind of variety.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Probably not a nice Manolo Blannet quite possibly. Not judging
then you're going to go all that stuff about that
kind of nice unbelievable. So I mean, can you see
it happening in Perth? People nuding up a bit more
at some big events?
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Do we? Is there a big nude community here? I wouldn't.
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
I don't know how big the community is, but size
doesn't matter least let's.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Be the size of the community.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
But think about it, like we love going to Coddessloafa
scrowed them by the sea. Could you imagine maybe not
Swan board booms at the bell tower. I don't know,
I know Swan, But there's a nudy beach at swanmb
really isn't now? I think?
Speaker 5 (03:05):
So?
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Probably not too many down there this morning, I would imagine.
But yeah, so if you want to go to Dorset Museum,
you'll get a little locker for your gear changing facilities
in a glass of wine.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
I feel like this is a good time to remind
you that you can text us at any time on
zero four seven six ninety six, ninety six ninety six.
Maybe you know all about the Perth nody community.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
You may know what's going on, yeah, or you may
just want to complain that I said the words go
I'm on the radio, I don't know what twice.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Now I know. This is a journey into pop up
the val your crazy releases. The history of sound. This
week we are looking at the history of sound in
the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia has kindly
teamed up with us to talk all about it. Today.
We are looking at vinyl records. I mean, who can
forget doing this?
Speaker 3 (03:57):
That's a well worn one.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Is a well worn one. They sounded like that. From
the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia. Crispian Windsor
good morning, welcomete.
Speaker 6 (04:07):
Good morning, Yes, good to talk to you both.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Thanks for joining us. Now, when was the first vinyl
record made?
Speaker 6 (04:15):
It was nineteen forty eight. That's when things started to
get a bit different. They were Shilac records up to
that point, but then they winded records to go a
bit longer and to be made of more of a
durable quality, and nineteen forty eight was the first time
that was done, and I think they were sold in
nineteen forty nine, include.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Seventy eight and forty five, and.
Speaker 6 (04:34):
Well seventy eights. Forty five was slightly later. It was
seventy eight still in nineteen forty eight. Yeah, they were
certainly around on silac, but that was still the standard
in nineteen forty eight until they started to get the
bigger thirty three C three inches C three upy in.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Sorry yeah, yeah, twelve inches.
Speaker 6 (04:54):
Seven inch discs whitch of forty five revolutions permittent correct?
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Okay, so what can you explain what schilacky is for?
Speaker 5 (04:59):
Status?
Speaker 3 (05:00):
When they were going from god, I think of a
in the footy, what was.
Speaker 6 (05:05):
Yeah, well, it was a much different sort of piece
of material where it was very very brittle, and the
sound wasn't that great either, but it was very easy
to break and it didn't take much further things first
to like just to shatter this and yeah, there's the
sound wasn't fantastic either, so something had to be done.
(05:26):
I think at that point.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Why were there so many formats and recording lengths with
the vinyl album There were a lot.
Speaker 6 (05:34):
It took them a long time to come up with
the sort of a standardized size and format. There were
some the speeds at points, sometimes it was a slow
at sixty revolutions per minute, and even as fast as
one hundred and thirty revolutions per minute.
Speaker 7 (05:51):
Which is pretty fast.
Speaker 6 (05:54):
It took a long time.
Speaker 5 (05:55):
They really didn't.
Speaker 6 (05:56):
The records weren't standardized to seventy eight rpm until much later,
and then in nineteen forty eight is when there was
sandardized more into seventiest discs and twelve inch discs.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Absolutely move, We'll be into the second hand shop, spoken
to Nana and seeing those really old heavy things they build,
and yeah, they were very weighty, very sick, weren't they.
Speaker 6 (06:15):
Absolutely, Yeah they're really heavy. Yeah I don't have any myself,
but yeah, you can still see them around in off
tops and things like that. At times.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
I always used to be fascinated by the fact that
my albums just had the little hole to put, you know,
over the you know, onto the record player, and my
dad's old seventy eighths had like a big sort of
elaborate pattern in the middle that was cut out. Why
the different cutouts.
Speaker 6 (06:41):
Well, that's a very American thing mainly with it was
just the juke boxes, so the big yeah, yeah, we
used to juke boxes. You can still get them around.
Some people still make them with a bigger hole. But
basically it was the jukeboxes in America.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Primarily, and it is also is that why they're measured
in inches? Just an American totally yeah.
Speaker 6 (07:02):
I for some reason that never changed when it went
around the world. Always say changed, yeah, seven inch and.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Twelve inches because most of my twelve inch remix extandard
versions that I waited six months to come to a right,
those are coming from the UK. So yeah, yes, yes, Chris,
that's the reason.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
What about rock and roll? I mean rock and roll,
you know, the music changed, and so did the way
that people young people bought music so that they really
annoy their parents. It did change. Did the distribution changed
to it didn't there, I really.
Speaker 6 (07:36):
Did, And I think a lot of that was with
the portability of.
Speaker 5 (07:39):
Record players as well.
Speaker 6 (07:40):
You start to get really small once people could sort
of take any words to anybody's houses, and vinyl really
was a big revolution that especially the forty the seven
inch discs around that time. Singles start to be extremely
popular in the nine and fifties from the onset of
rock and roll.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
When when did the first vinyl pressing plant open in Australia.
Speaker 6 (08:00):
Well, it was actually CBS Records later Sony in nineteen
fifty four. That was the first one and there used
to be several, but now there's currently only three pressing
plants in Australia.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Oh wow, is it started to pick up again in
recent times, isn't it? That's the thing it has.
Speaker 6 (08:16):
Yeah, so there's one, there's two mo one called Zennis
and one called Program Zens. Originally was called Cordiali and
that was around for a long time, but the program
is fairly new, that's been about three or four years.
And there's also a fairly new one in Brisbane court
Suitcase Records.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
They are, of course, vinyl albums making a huge comeback.
What do you put it down to, Crispian.
Speaker 6 (08:37):
I think I think with when they were basically replaced
by CDs, the artwork's very small on those, and then
when CDs start to go and be replaced by digital
I think there's a lot of people, including myself, which
just loves the physical, physical product. And I think Vinyl
with the size, you know, it's a real effort to
(08:58):
listen to Vinyl in a way. I think a lot
of people really love that, you know.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Yeah, the loarning notes experience, all that. Yeah, the notes
on the album. You spent all day just lying there
reading that from the lyrics beginning to end. Hear the lyrics.
Speaker 6 (09:12):
The lyric now very important, Yeah, absolutely, And like I
still remember lyrics now just because I read them off
Vinyl back when I was a kids.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Yeah, hey, Christian, that was correct.
Speaker 7 (09:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
I want to go one of the clock back to
sort of like a sort of wartime first and the
Second World War and beyond that where servicemen from the
States would take blues records to the UK and then
eventually they ended up with a whole lot of bands
like the Stones, and that with the British invasion of
the US, so it went all the way back. But they
were pretty pretty remarkable. So many people traveled with records
that didn't break.
Speaker 6 (09:44):
Yeah, absolutely, And I think that was part of the
issue with Schilac originally. Yeah, got Vinyl like that. Yeah,
I think that that was the reason why. You're absolutely right.
I think a lot of people credit that's happening with
Liverpool and the Beatles gainst so many records because it
was a poor town.
Speaker 7 (10:00):
Hmmm.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Of course. The main drawback of them, as we remember
was they would scratch and they would skip. Was there
were companies around the world trying the hardest to come
up with, you know, the magic answer to that, because
they would have made, you know, a mozza. No one
ever really did come up with an answer to it,
did they.
Speaker 6 (10:21):
No, they didn't, they didn't. I think the only thing
you can get around it is cleaning records from the
get go. I cleaned all my records, whether they're old
or new.
Speaker 5 (10:29):
And the way that gets.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
Rid of dust and dust is a part of the
problem where you start to get skipping and to scratching.
It's hard to get rid of scratches, of course, but
you can get dust and started quite easily.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
When you take it off, put it back in the bag.
Don't just put it on the foreway next one. Hear
the end of that exactly.
Speaker 6 (10:48):
Yeah, absolutely, I'm really bored about all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
I don't probably helped Chrispian wh A couple of recent
changes have been the heavier vinyl. Can you explain what
that means? Because you know, people spend seventy eight eighteen
ninety dollars on an album now and in recent weeks
we've given away these one step albums that we gave
away the last four weeks, So what's the technology there,
what's going on with those?
Speaker 6 (11:10):
I guess a lot of those will be to do
with virgin vinyls, so they're not recycled. It's the first
batch of vinyl. It's that technically, that's to mean it's
the best quality and there's nothing else happening happening to them,
so it's version file.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
They are a lot.
Speaker 6 (11:25):
Heavier as a result, and that's that's the way around.
That is just the better quality, the technically the best
quality you can get. But that does make them expensive.
Speaker 5 (11:37):
Yah.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Of course, do you play vinyl at home or are
you a stranger?
Speaker 8 (11:43):
Oh don't know.
Speaker 6 (11:43):
I do stream as well, but I very much final.
I've got quite quite a large vinyl collection, and only
DJ Vinyl was well.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
What was your first vinyl record?
Speaker 6 (11:53):
Yeah, I think I think it's hard to say, but
I believe it might have been This Whole House by
Shake and Stephens.
Speaker 8 (12:00):
I think so.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Yeah, that'll get it well from the few people here. Yeah,
it was a green door. It was like England's Elvis, wasn't.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
He for time? That's great, we're not judging Co's. Actually
I have to say, it's not like I have it now.
And by the way, mine was probably arrival, so I
wasn't really dear.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
I played that to death. Minma Sherbert's how's that? Only
because my sisters meant for two weeks? She goes, I'll
buy you, and I reckon. I lasted about three days.
You still bought it for me. Very sweet.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
That's great, Christian, thank you so much for giving us
a bit more insight into the history of vinyl. And
it's good to know that there are still some places
in Australia pressing them.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (12:53):
Absolutely, And you can learn more about the vinyl and
that radio one hundred expression at an episode doc after
brilliant excellent.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Thanks Christian, Thanks very much.
Speaker 6 (13:03):
Bye.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
I can't be you know what are such a big amaphan.

I had a pillow case, a pillow case. Yeah, you
have a lunchbox, oh probably, Yeah, it wouldn't surprise me.
Have a T shirt the old beyond albums lunchbox.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Can I be honest with you?
Speaker 3 (13:20):
When I was a little kid, mile Man made me
a Beyorn Star guitar out of wood Really he's pretty good.
Would he made a wooden stargeting you couldn't play it
had no strings? You can said it on five though, Yeah,
you could say that that wasn't really have a star.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Was more c More Lisa More podcasts soon, with vinyl
the subject of our History of Sound series. Today, we're
talking about your favorite vinyl memories. Tim and Billy says,
in the early seventies, when I was thirteen, you could
join a record club and get six free albums for
just agreeing to buy for one month. I still remember
(13:56):
the excitement of when they arrived, and my favorite one
was Alice Cooper Welcome to My Night.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Oh the Department of Youth Love Cool. So many good
ones coming through and the text line is going off
this morning to the funds to.

My first vinyl was forty five Dreen Police by Cheap Trick. Yeah, yes,
and my favorite too Many to choose from but a
few Kiss Alive too, kiss double Platinum, Coaches was East Yeah,
and I just thought of another one, Flowers nice.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Oh yes, back in the early days when they were Flowers,
have a Davies, they were Flowers.
Speaker 10 (14:40):
Yeah, yeah, vinyl and I stupidly got rid of some
of my albums when c D's came in, thinking oh,
this is the next big thing.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
So now in the process of buying them.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
All back in Baron, I fell for that one too. Thanks.
Speaker 11 (14:57):
Thanks.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
It's always that thing when you going back and you go,
thank you so much more now.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
That you wouldn't be able to get now today.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
And the vinyl some of the vinyls ninety dollars and
one album, some of those are.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
All rare, you know, extended remixes that I said, I waited,
you know, three months arrive at d Records or whatever.
They you wouldn't I don't know if you'd even find
them now.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
The collector's items now on discogs, that's what you do discogs.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
And stew And Bell Divers said his first record was
Adam and the Ants Stand and Deliver.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Oh wow, that's funny about people who had the you know,
when you had the picture disc because that was like
a really big deal.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
It was just a colored one of some sort, anything
that was a bit different. Clayton from Canning Bell said
he pretty much wore out the grooves on Breakfast in
America by Supertramp. Great album, some.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Really great pop songs on there.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
And tell you what, Sandy in Hall's Head says, I
didn't own any but I would go over to my
next door neighbor and she had a little portable turntable
under her bed and we would put popcorn on. Oh
that one, I think Brad and Leming what about you?
Speaker 11 (16:06):
My first? My first was a single Robert Palmers, He
Makes my Day. Probably I was probably too young for
the albums at that stage, but I've well and truly
made up for it now. From Addicted to vinylt Vinyl
do a weekly blog of an album each week, the
first to the Instagram called.
Speaker 5 (16:24):
Harry's the Week.
Speaker 11 (16:25):
If anyone's anyone's listening out there or followers of the wind,
so yeah, har Harry is on the week.
Speaker 5 (16:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
It can be an addiction because it's a whole ritual,
you know, the whole taking it out of the bag,
just making sure it's all you know, shiny clean, putting
it on, moving the needle across.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Even going to record phase. Yeah, going through through the
buckets of albums that record fairs is fun, Brad.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Yeah, digging through that, that's that whole experience, searching for gold.
Speaker 11 (16:55):
The cover arts fantastic too, love it.
Speaker 6 (16:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
And then you get the collectors who've got six copies
of different albums, and you go, I've got six, and go, well,
some are in different condition, but that's serious.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Thanks. You remember the ripper albums, the compilation album circle
mid seventies. You'd never see that today. Well, you'd see
a woman's bum with a tiny short the album. Yeah,
the track listing was written on the bare buttock of
a torn pair of jeans, cut off short a pair
of daisy dukes. Yes, but they were ripped, right. I
(17:30):
guess that's why they were called because they were ripper songs.
Speaker 5 (17:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Also, compilation albums.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
Brains, aren't they?
Speaker 2 (17:42):
They are eched our brains. Melinda in Innerloo, what are
your vinyl memories? Meda, Hey, how are you going for us? Yeah?
Speaker 12 (17:52):
My god used to work for mal at wall in
per He used to own all the jukeboxes around the pups. Yes,
and as a twelve thirteen year old. My job was
to type up on a manual typewrite all the labels
that went into the jukeboxes.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Oh wow, okay.
Speaker 12 (18:09):
And then I used to get in my dad's ute
and go around to all the pubs and change the like,
get the old records and put in the new ones.
And I was allowed to keep a whole set of
the records, which were changed on a monthly basis.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
Sweet.
Speaker 12 (18:23):
So I literally had thousands of forty five yeah, in
a crate at home. But the worst part is when
my parents decided to fill in their underground swimming pool,
they used them as a filler.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
No, oh my god. It became imagine if someone thinks
that swimming pull up one day to.
Speaker 6 (18:46):
Cards washing machine.
Speaker 12 (18:48):
Yeah, it would be like an you know Indiana Jones.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Yeah, maybe a little brother who knows Wow, Linda, and
now that well, he's a great business man and a
wonderful man with a person club.
Speaker 12 (19:00):
Yes that's right, Yes, that's right. And he and a
friend of mine back in the day was getting into DJing.
So yeah, his warehouse was just full of forty five.
So he came, David Wells was his name. He came
and he grabbed as many as he could possibly put
into his car, and he used him when he was
(19:20):
using his DJing jobs around the trip.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
I don't believe you filled in the pool.
Speaker 12 (19:27):
I know, cry think about it.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Thanks Melenda, Thanks Melinda, Welcome. I could have made that
beautiful sound.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Yes, everyone's got a vital story. I love this from
kateon Double says, my first album was The Village People,
which I won in a six pm coloring in competition. Coloring.
I never won a coloring in competition. I went outside
and also I went in all different directions.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
Oh yeah it man, Yeah, but there's nothing wrong with
outside the lines. We always inside. That's funny. What do
you have to like coloring? Like a picture of Yorky
or something color I remember.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Doing a coloring in competition where it was the you know,
the black Swan for the nineteen seventy nine year me.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
You're of excitement.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
I couldn't even color in a black swan. Jake in Inglewood, Hello.

When it first goes on, like reading the cover or
like getting on the butts of the mates and going
into the city to seventy eight and everyone buy the record.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
It was awesome, unreal, unreal.
Speaker 6 (20:37):
Listen.
Speaker 7 (20:38):

Queen, Oh yeah, okay, And I vily remember my poor
old man losing his stuff when he heard the rude
word in both of those songs. There's root words, yes.
Speaker 7 (21:03):
And he loved it. But the best part about this
was my first.
Speaker 8 (21:07):
Album I went and bought with my own money, was
Iron Made Number of the Beast.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Awesome, and I remember bringing it home and.
Speaker 8 (21:15):
Putting it on the old man's record player, and I
can visualize this. This was decades ago, but I can
visualize it. He once again lost his stuff because I
was going to ruin it. You're going to ruin my
stylist for.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
That awful, bloody music, going to blow it up.
Speaker 7 (21:36):
I remember it was like an eighteen year old trying
to just explain the physics.
Speaker 8 (21:41):
Of how it works. For the vibrants. You're ruining my needle.
So I went I went down and bought my own stylists,
and when I used it, I used to have to
change the needle to.
Speaker 7 (21:54):
Make him happy.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
I didn't have to touch his max fibra. Yeah, God,
somebody else.
Speaker 8 (22:01):
He actually had one of those Whirlitzer record players, which
the speaker when I ran playing all this, I mean,
I've got jazz. I've got that from him, but only
like my like my metal as well. But yeah, takes
me right back.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
You did have to see your iron made on the weekend,
did you?
Speaker 5 (22:21):
No?
Speaker 8 (22:22):
I didn't.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
I didn't.
Speaker 8 (22:23):
I've seen that. I've seen the Irons quite a few times.
Speaker 7 (22:25):
On the last the last time I saw them, I
stood there with my brother and we didn't know any
of the songs.
Speaker 8 (22:31):
They were only released about they were only released about
two thousand albums.
Speaker 7 (22:36):
I didn't.
Speaker 8 (22:37):
I didn't know any of the songs. And we looked
at each other and said, bloody hell, what happened to
the Iron Maiden that we used to go and see
years and years ago? But that's life.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
Yeah, never mind Run of the Hills, thanks to.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
Look.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
If Jake was a bit more passionate, he'd be better
on the radio.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Great, I can say I relate to that with his
dad Gavin and Ashfield. Hello, get a pleasing.

I'm a bit embarrassed to say what my first record
really was, so I won't tell you that one. But
the first record of the first record that I bought
in a record club, which used to I'm sending like
a money order, your order, and then it'd be delivered
in cardboard boxes some weeks later. It was just like
Christmas was Eagles, Eagles, Desperado.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Yes you're talking.
Speaker 10 (23:33):
And if you didn't want to.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Do it that way, the other way was in Albany
you used to go to Keynote Music or the Chemists
and buy him from the Chemist Chemist. Yeah, which which
was where I didn't where I didn't buy that record
that won't be mentioned.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
It was it No, I'm not going there. I come on,
Was it BOI or something?
Speaker 5 (23:54):
Come on?
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Right? It was?
Speaker 1 (23:58):
It was Star Wars and other intergalactic fun.
Speaker 8 (24:03):
By Miko. I think it was.
Speaker 5 (24:07):
It was a mood record, mate, that'sn't wrong with that.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
Yeah, that was that was a huge hit.
Speaker 13 (24:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
We had the Star Wars soundtrack at our house and
that thing played into oblivion. Yeah exactly. Yeah, don't worry, Gavin,
it could be a lot worse.
Speaker 5 (24:26):
Yeah. A couple other things too.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
The old old mate who gave us the rundown of
record speeds and all the rest of the little known
record speed sixteen and two thirds sixteen exactly half of.
Speaker 5 (24:39):
A thirty three and a third.
Speaker 8 (24:41):
They didn't really know.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Well, I don't know why it took about a week
to go around one revolution.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
That's crazy.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
You didn't just make that happen, did you. Wasn't actual story, okay.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
And what I also found was when you had the
old thirty threes, if you got a scratch and you
used to keep going kick kick chick, if you played
it at forty five, they sounded like chipmunks for a start.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Oh yeah, of course.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
But sometimes it would cut a new groove and your
record would.
Speaker 5 (25:09):
Be good again.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Oh oh really, Well there you go once the once,
the scratch, scratch.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
And yeah yeah yeah you break away, yeah yeah yeah,
crack it then yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Thank you, thanks mane.
Speaker 5 (25:22):
Great.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
I remember having the Chipmunks Chipmunks single, and we played
it forty five and you played in thirty three and
it sounds like a bunch of session singers.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
It was so weird, Like the it was so weird.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
I was like, Oh, they've just got normal voices. That
just sped them up. I was so disappointed at Albert n.
Theodore and the other one.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
I got to mention Michael and Allen Brooks as his
favorite vinyl is the War of the World soundtrack. That
is that is a masterpiece. That'll speak about absolute masterpiece.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Was a bit too paranoid when you put that one on.
No trae is it really happening on?
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Yeah, well many thought it was.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
I did.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Yeah, they went to the great lengths, Richard Beton's Too Good,
Far Out.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Yeah, it's incredible.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Simon in Mosman Park, Good morning, the morning.
Speaker 14 (26:03):
Players and Lisa, great show.
Speaker 8 (26:05):
Thank you.
Speaker 14 (26:06):
My first record, My first record was Vienna by Ultravox. Yeah,
there was absolute classic. But my favorite is Goodbye Yellow
Brick Road by Elton John and I've.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Bought that on vinyl.
Speaker 14 (26:25):
I then had a car that had a cassette player
and I played and I bought the I bought the cassette,
the double cassette, and then I since bought the the
c D and of course now I've bought it on.
Speaker 8 (26:39):
Uh you know, Apple Music.
Speaker 14 (26:43):
It's great, but your your previous caller go the Irons.
Speaker 7 (26:49):
I called him in the berth.
Speaker 8 (26:51):
It was fantastic.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
Everyone talking to her saying it was wonderful.
Speaker 14 (26:55):
Well that's right, so yeah, so everyone in Perth it
was was great And I'm with you on Roultravox.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
That was such such a Vinyl moment that.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
Was Wasn't that a game change of that song with
this synthesizes midah everything about it.
Speaker 14 (27:10):
Yeah, yeah, it was just the quality of the sound
that was incredible, and the video was game changer too.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Yeah, beautiful, thanks of the memory, Simon. The Rolling Stones
Review is Rolling into Perth starring Text Perkins, Steve Kilby,
Sarah McLeod and Adelita, September thirteen at the Glorious Asta Theater.
Text Perkins is with us. Now, good morning, very well, welcome.
(27:41):
Now this thank you sounds awesome. The Rolling Stones Review
is a full blown rock and roll spectacle, starting with
the seminal Sticky Fingers album. That's going to be the
first half of the show. Widely considered one of the Stones'
best albums, twenty six million copies worldwide. I think anytime
a thing kicks off with the opening notes of brown Sugar,
(28:03):
you know you've got something good ahead of you.
Speaker 5 (28:07):
Well, yes, Sticky Fingers. The reason that I was lured
into this in the beginning was the Sticky Fingers is
my favorite, not only Stones albums, It might be my
favorite album of all time.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Oh my god, that is a big cat. That is
high praise.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
Depending on my mood, of course, absolutely, that's crazy.
Speaker 5 (28:27):
But now it's fascinated me from from a child. It
was one of the earliest cultural references that I had
to be the seed a darker side of life, right,
that album is just dripping with sex and drugs. As
(28:48):
a young child I was, it was very.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Curious and the album cover just is it amazing.
Speaker 5 (28:57):
Indeed, my brother had one of the original albums, was
the actual Zipper.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Oh my god, cool, and the sleeve was yeah.
Speaker 5 (29:05):
He pulled it out and then there was a man
in underpants.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
Yes, yeah, yeah, because he still got the.
Speaker 5 (29:10):
Copy which is not Big Jagger no, no, apparently now.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
It's a stunt underpanties man.
Speaker 5 (29:17):
Stunt growing is one of Andy Warhol designed that record cover.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
One of his is one of his models, yes, which
he had a few in the factory there. Yeah, absolutely
text always that question, mate, do you have a favorite
child from the album?
Speaker 5 (29:35):
Is there?
Speaker 3 (29:36):
And is it this? You've got a favorite song from
the album? Is it the best one to sing? Two
for you?
Speaker 5 (29:41):
No, My favorite song from the album is Moonlight mile right, yep,
And I do get to sing it without a leader's look.
It's more my favorite to listen to than to sing.
It's a bit tough to sing, really, but things like
also think like System Morphine, which just just it's quite chilling,
(30:06):
really authenticity. And then there's but I could sing other
tracks like Sway, which is the second song on the album,
and the one called I Got the Blues, which has
an incredible keyboard solo. But yeah, but the musicians that
(30:28):
are playing the music is it's backing band, and they're
sort of almost like nerds, rock and roll nerds just
for the details. They get all the details right, yeah,
you know, like you know, especially the guitar players and
the keyboard player. It's it's it's the finest exact details
(30:52):
that they get the music right. It's very impressive.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
So you will are you all for on stage at
the same time. It's not like it's not like the
three Tenors. You're not coming out one one at a
time and.
Speaker 5 (31:03):
Doing a song the very the very final finale. I
think we all will all come out together, okay, which
will probably the stones most famous song. If you could
probably guess what that might have been a fair idea.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
No, don't give it away, do you know what? You're not?
My favorite rolling Stone song? Hand had that one yourself.
My favorite Rolling Stone song is Memory Motel, which I
have Memory Motel from Black and Blue. That is my
absolute Second half of the show is other stuff.
Speaker 5 (31:44):
It's a collection of highlights of the Stones from the
sixties and seventies and a little bit of the eighties.
And now that we've got Steve Kilby on board, he's
taking it into some very interesting places. It's kind of
handling these sort of more psychedelic sixties kind of okay
(32:05):
stuff of the Stones. Okay, I believe that given too
much ways, he's chosen to do two thousand Light Years
from Home, Oh wow, yeah yeah, which is a fall
on psychedelic Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
Yeah, it's more piece Brian's territory yeah, Brian Jes Keith.
You can't have Stones without Keith the human riff and
having Jack Houst and Bad Loves and they played with
the Whitlams as well and meetting the Bad Love days.
He's great because there's only one key Riches. It doesn't
go over the top. He's just Keith. It's all about
(32:40):
the feel and the melody, isn't it Well?
Speaker 5 (32:42):
As I say, these guys get it, get the music.
So yeah, right, it's not just an approximation. Now as
I said, they're they're almost they're almost obsessively Nerdish's good,
which is great.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
But they make the best actual musicians, don't they the
ones that are nerdy, not the ones with the sticky fingers.
Speaker 5 (33:04):
When you're putting on a tribute show to a particular album, yes,
and people want to hear that album. Yeah, done correctly.
It's I mean vocally it's a bit of an interpretation
because none of us are Mick Jagan. Ye. Music wise,
it's spot on. Yeah, you can't argue with the details there.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
I know what you made. I would never have thought
being a Steely Dan frek I would go to see
a Steely Dan tribute act, but there was these brilliant
musics in Perth to Friends Restaurant a few years ago,
and their meticulous attention to detail was incredible.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
So really in the years was really in the ears.
You know what I'm saying, They're very nerdy.
Speaker 5 (33:44):
I think you're going to if you're going to present
an honor a particular piece of work, then yeah, I
think you've really got to pay attention to those details
which fans know.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
Yes, true, and they want to hear.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
So we referred to it as rolling into Perth. It is,
you know, it's a review. How is it being on
the road with these this lot?
Speaker 5 (34:08):
Pretty good. The whole thing's been spread out so it
hasn't been like a grinding tour. Oh okay, it's been
sort of separated. But by three weeks weekend of gigs
and then three weeks doing other stuff, right, I mean
the last thing we did was the Mundy Monkey Bash
(34:29):
out in a broken hill well and this enormous concert
in the middle of the desert, and that was amazing. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
I can imagine k here, you're not going off there unreal.
Speaker 5 (34:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
On another note, I was on a road trip the
other weekend text and one of the things that got
me through the long lonely road. Was listening to Text
and the Lady Boys again. It is so good on
a road trip. Is there going to be any more
of that?
Speaker 5 (35:00):
I always threaten it, threaten it.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
There's so many songs, so many songs that you've yet
to tackle.
Speaker 5 (35:06):
I know. Yeah, look, if you could give me, give
me a few, Willy, you can come on board and
produce the album.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
Okay, all right, there's the office.
Speaker 5 (35:22):
She want one of them, she'll be she'll be right,

ever heard these, they should They should do themselves a favor,
all right, Lisa.
Speaker 5 (35:49):
When I come to Perth, Well, well we'll go out

I've always said it will happen eventually. Apparently those and

The York Festival is on this month, September twenty to
twenty nine. You can get tickets through York Festival dot
com dot au. Joe Bryant is the coordinator of this
York stravaganza and she's with us now. Good morning, Joe, Jo, Welcome,
Good morning guys yorky would as we're calling you now, Joe,
considering you are the hot spot of all sorts of study,
(39:35):
are we are?
Speaker 13 (39:36):
There's barely a person in town who haven't had an
extra role.
Speaker 3 (39:40):
That's cool.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
There must just be such a fun atmosphere to be
in the midst of all that. I mean, Brian Brown
in town there?
Speaker 6 (39:48):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (39:49):
Well absolutely, sorry, go on.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
I was going to say, this is the eighth year
of the festival and and your cultural event celebrating York's
cultural history. Heritage and wonderful arts community.
Speaker 13 (40:02):
Yes, yes, absolutely, so we call ourselves a multi arts
festival and that allows us to pull in all sorts
of different acts, to really showcase a diverse range of
disciplines and offer something for everyone.
Speaker 3 (40:17):
Really, when you say something for everyone, so it's not
just doming as a huge jazz component here, but what else?
What can people get their teeth into with this one.
Speaker 13 (40:27):
Look, we've got a variety of performances, so we've got
a small play happening in one venue. We've got workshops
like paint and sip and collage boarding and sculptured play workshops.
We've got Flir Alder who's a stunning dancer who's performing
(40:49):
for us, but she's also running some workshops on contemporary
and creative dance techniques, and drawing workshops where instead of
life drawing, it's live drawing, the drawing, live dancer capturing
those shapes. We have got, as you say, a very
strong jazz component, but we've also got a broader range
(41:12):
of musics as well. So we have some beautiful pieces
at the Holy Trinity Church with our Silver Sounds Guitar Quartet,
and we've got Melody Paul as Well, who's an Australian
singer songwriter and she is launching her latest single in
advance of her international tour.
Speaker 2 (41:35):
It's great that jazz is part of this because a
lot of us do remember the Old York Jazz Festival
of Days of Yore. It was such an amazing weekend
and it's a beautiful thing about York with a festival
like this is it's not just the events that you
can attend, it's the buildings that they're in.
Speaker 13 (41:53):
Yep, yeah, yeah, So we have we're the first inland
town in WA and we have maintained of fully heritage
main Terrace and a lot of a lot of properties
around town. So we're utilizing the old West Australian Bank
for one of the venues. We've got the Imperial Homestead Hub,
(42:16):
We've got a new live music venue called the Rookery
that's in the back of the ancient shoemaker's shop. So
there's lots of lots of activities taking place in really
interesting buildings as well as of course our town Hall,
which is stunning.
Speaker 3 (42:34):
Absolutely, I'm pretty sure I saw that during the film
and during the watching the twelve last week I did.
Speaker 13 (42:41):
They renamed it as the courthouse.
Speaker 3 (42:45):
You're running September twenty to twenty nine, so there's plenty
of chances for people to come up. The many people
come and stays are much accommodation for them. I pop
in for one day quite often.
Speaker 2 (42:54):
Look, you can do either.
Speaker 13 (42:55):
York is a tourist town, so we do have plenty
of beautiful accommodation, although I think we're filling up very rapidly. Yeah, yeah,
but you know, we're just we're ninety minutes from the
center of Perth. We're an hour from Midlands. It's a
beautiful drive, a nice drive. It's a lovely drive, and
I think people are often surprised. I think it sounds
(43:18):
further away and then when they get here they're like, oh,
it only took me seventeen minutes.
Speaker 3 (43:24):
It's not Candenden.
Speaker 2 (43:28):
It's pretty easy, quite drivable.
Speaker 8 (43:31):
Yeah, and what are our.
Speaker 2 (43:33):
Chances of running into a celebrity filming about town during
that week? Are we on a down sort of time
at the moment because Runt's about to open that of
course film there. I believe Brian Brown had been in
town filming.
Speaker 13 (43:46):
Yeah, Sam Neil was in town. So yeah, it's been
very busy obviously we can't say we all go oh.
Speaker 2 (43:54):
That is why they like filming.
Speaker 3 (43:58):
That's a collective one. What happens in York days.
Speaker 11 (44:00):
New York.
Speaker 2 (44:01):
Yeah, absolutely absolutely.
Speaker 3 (44:03):
