Rare OZ EP released in 1966 on W&G Records. Cat: WG-E.2712.
In the late '50s and early '60s, rock & roll music was introduced in Australia by pioneer rockers like Johnny O'Keefe and Col Joye, and the arrival of The Beatles ushered in a wave of new wave of bands and a new beat-pop style that soon came to cdominate the popular music scene. But there were several other genres competing for audience attention during the early-mid 1960s the thriving folk scenes in Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide and other cities (which gave birth to acts like The Seekers and Gary Shearston competed with a long-established. The other major muscial action, particularly in Melbourne, was in the bohemian jazz haunts where stolid trad jazz testifiers like The Wild Cherries and The Red Onions Jazz Band plied their wares to blues and jazz purists. That is, of course, until the "British Invasion" so devastatingly wiped the slate clean across the world in 1964. One of many bands that promptly changed musical direction from jazz/blues into rock/pop was The Red Onions. They recorded one self-titled album on W&G in early '64, and continued into 1965 with a loyal following, before several members headed off to try their luck on the booming pop scene. In 1965 three members of the Red Onions Ian Clyne (keyboards), Kim Lynch (bass) and Gerry Humphries (vocals, clarinet) joined forces with guitarist Rob Lovett and drummer Gavin Anderson from fellow jazz/blues stalwarts, The Wild Cherries, a band that itself would likewise transmute into a rock band not long after. These were seasoned, highly-skilled musos for whom the move from jazz to pop was considered something of a retrograde step. Led by the charismatic, dynamic Gerry Humphreys unquestionably one of the best rock singers this country has ever produced the new band immediately blew the pundits away with their unique sound, a repertoire that mixed tough rhythm & blues with appealing, quirky original pop tunes.
