Also included in the lavish box are the 4 track 1980 ep in it’s 1981 remixed form, the full 1981 demos that predate the album and the real jewel in the crown; a full live recording from the Governors Pleasure Hotel, Sydney in February 1981.
“At times, some shows crossed the threshold into magic. There were a few times, a handful at best, when it was so strong I would have sworn there were five of us on stage. I don’t know what that extra person was or what they played, I just felt an extra presence on stage that was playing a part in all we did, and that part was adding to the intensity, the strength, the joy and the moment. One of those shows was the JJJ live to air recording at the Governors Pleasure in February 1981”. Richard Burgman
Also included is an extensive 26 page, 12”x 12” booklet accessed from the archives of drummer Bil Bilson’s Mum! 8″ x 10” promo photo, the original 1981 band bio and Sunnyboys Fan Club card.
Sunnyboys 45th anniversary box set will be released October 23rd. Pre-sales coming soon.
