The Bent Elbows – St. Lucia Road EP (orig. Australia EMI Custom STEREO 13154, LIMITED EDITION with picture cover)
Release date: August 1981. Recording date: March 1981.
On offer here is an EXTREMELY RARE original issue of the only EP released by Brisbane-based KBD PUNK band, THE BENT ELBOWS.
The Bent Elbows made an Extended Play (EP) record in 1981, with 4 songs on black vinyl. The title song “St Lucia Road” draws on the time the Baker brothers experienced growing up in St Lucia. It was the era of the street marches against Premier Joh Bjelke-Peterson's reign, so Stirker added a line “marching still stinks”. Scoring Sugar is an anti-drugs song featuring a melodic guitar riff supporting Stirker’s raspy vocal; backed by a piano and a strong beat from the bass and drums.
Paul Norris played harmonica and provided backing vocals on the title track; the earthy tone of the harmonica providing a “bluesy” feel to the song.
The EP was laid down at the Queensland Recording Studios off Little Roma Street in Brisbane city. Doug Hills was the sound technician and initially thought the band was doing a demonstration tape. He was surprised when Stirker had the songs pressed by EMI into an EP. The EP was only a limited edition and those remaining are an historical collector’s item.
I have only seen (and owned) one issue in all my years of collecting vinyl.
Can post 2 ( maybe 3) 7" records to anywhere overseas for $ 9 AUD and that can be from either this mazdamusic site or from flatblacks11
