Description
Early Au-Go-Go 7" (Anda 9) from this Melbourne Pop Punk band. Record has seen better days, but is not often sighted. Record is graded G+/G+. I will combine postage.
Formed by Russell Street in 1978 and dubbed Z-Cars after the English television drama of the same name, by Rob Griffiths (The Fiction, Little Murders) the band played a mixture of original material ('Barbie Doll', 'Jump In Line', 'Bernhardts', 'People Look At Me', 'Seventies Survivor' and covers by bands such as The Saints.)
Z-Cars played regularly on the same bill with the other 'Z' band Zorros and played 54 gigs, mainly at the Exford Hotel, 475 Club, Seaview Ballroom, the Champion Hotel, Hearts, Martinis, and the Duke of York Hotel. The band released one Pop-Punk 7" single in 1980 through Au Go Go Records called 'This is Z-Cars' which consisted of the tracks 'Is There Someone Out There?'/'Girls Just Aren't Girls' which was produced by Dave Douglas and Simon Smith (ex-Virgins). Reviews of the band were almost unanimously bad, a situation the Z-Cars reveled in: "Possibly the worst guitar sound ever put on record“ - (Juke magazine review of single).
