NEW WORLD : KARA KARA

EMIDISC ONE SIDED ACETATE 3 MIN 06 SEC (SOUNDS LIKE A DEMO VERSION WITH GUITAR AND VOCAL : HAVE A LISTEN!)

The band was founded in Brisbane in 1965,[4] by John "Fuzzy" Lee (born 9 March 1944, Ashtead, Surrey, England), Mel Noonan (born 10 November 1943, Sydney, Australia) and Robert Elford (born 13 April 1932, Townsville, Australia). In 1968, John Kane (born 18 April 1946, Glasgow, Scotland) joined the group, and by the end of the decade they were one of Australia's most popular acts. They were originally billed as The New World Trio.[4]

At the beginning of the 1970s, songwriters Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman booked the group on television. They also took the band to Europe, where record label owner Mickie Most signed them immediately to his imprint RAK. Their first single for RAK, "Rose Garden", hit #15 on the UK Singles Chart in 1971.[2] At the same time, country singer, Lynn Anderson, released a cover version of this song which was an international #1 hit.

The group's biggest hit was a version of "Tom-Tom Turnaround", also recorded by Sweet. This was followed by "Kara, Kara", which was a hit in the United Kingdom and Germany; although a German language version of the tune was a bigger hit for Peter Orloff. They had a fourth hit in the United Kingdom with "Sister Jane", but their next release, "Living Next Door to Alice", was a flop. This song would later become a worldwide hit for Smokie in 1976.[2][5] 

THIS IS JUST PART OF A FANTASTIC COLLECTION I AM SELLING OF MEGA RARE AND POSSIBLY UNIQUE GENUINE ORIGINAL ACETATES FROM THE SWEET, SUZI QUATRO, MUD AND OTHER ARTISTS ASSOCIATED WITH MIKE CHAPMAN / NICKY CHINN / CHINNICHAP. (SAVE AS FAVOURITE SELLER AND YOU CAN WATCH OUT FOR THE AUCTIONS AS I LIST THEM).

MOSTLY FROM THE MID 1970s GLAM ROCK ERA. THEY INCLUDE VERSIONS OF THE SONGS RECORDED AS DEMOS AS WELL AS THE FINISHED SONGS PRIOR TO RELEASE. UNLIKE MOST ACETATES MANY OF THESE LOOK AS IF THEY HAVE HARDLY BEEN PLAYED.

GOOD CONDITION INDEED FOR AN ACETATE, A FEW MARKS AS YOU WOULD EXPECT, SOME MINOR CLICKS AND BACKGROUND CRACKLE + WHAT LOOKS LIKE A STAR TREK TRANSFER ON THE LABEL (LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF) PLAYS GREAT
