Radios Appear

Reissue of this classic 1977 album from the Australian Punk band featuring Deniz Tek and Rob Younger. Record labels were eager to place Radio Birdman in the then-new context of late-70's Punk - somewhat inaccurately considering the band's long hair and technical skill - so WEA picked up Radios Appear for distribution after its initial mail-order release on the Trafalgar imprint. Then, legendary Sire boss Seymour Stein saw Radio Birdman while visiting Australia to sign The Saints, and resolved to re-release Radios Appear internationally with a different track order and particular overdubs. This version is presented here, as heard by so many late-70's youth before starting bands of their own and citing Radios Appear as an influence in interviews to come.
