Radio Birdman – Live At Paddington Town Hall, 12th December, 1977 (2LP)

This 19 track double LP is a 2024 recut of the 2014 release of a live concert recorded at Paddington Town Hall (Sydney Australia) in December 1977. Recorded just prior to the band’s departure for the UK to promote the Sire release of their Radios Appear album, this recording was mixed from 16 track master tapes that had languished forgotten for decades. It is a totally wild and raw record that captures the band’s true primal energy perhaps in a way that other recordings haven’t. The songs represent a wide selection of their originals along with covers of Blue Oyster Cult, MC5 and Bo Diddley.
