This is the ultimate Messiahs record - live in front of a good sized crowd at London's Town & Country Club (later the Forum) at the brief height of their success. The rhythm section are an awesomely powerful, well-drilled machine - Kenny Harris's drumming almost unavoidably conjures up visions of steam locomotives with all the pistons and connecting rods going like crazy … Over the top of it (WELL over the top …) Bill Carter rants (about American cars and Jesus mostly) and slashes at his guitar. You can tell it was very loud (it was …)

Dancer, actor, and singer Fred Astaire worked steadily in various entertainment media during nine decades of the 20th century. The most celebrated dancer in the history of film, with appearances in 31 movie musicals between 1933 and 1968 (and a special Academy Award in recognition of his accomplishments in them), Astaire also danced on-stage and on television (garnering two Emmy Awards in the process), and he even treated listening audiences to his accomplished tap dancing on records and on his own radio series. He appeared in another eight non-musical feature films and on numerous television programs, resulting in an Academy Award nomination and a third Emmy Award as an actor. His light tenor voice and smooth, conversational phrasing made him an ideal interpreter for the major songwriters of his era, and he introduced dozens of pop standards, many of them written expressly for him, by such composers as Harold Arlen, Irving Berlin, George Gershwin, Jerome Kern, Burton Lane, Frank Loesser, Johnny Mercer, Cole Porter, Arthur Schwartz, Harry Warren, and Vincent Youmans.

In the early to mid-1960s in Australia, the landscape was rapidly changing - the Holden now had serious competition from newcomers the Ford Falcon and Chrysler Valiant. Householders were saving and buying television sets - and Top 40 radio along with local record shops were doing big business. Another Saturday Night - 60s Giants of The Jukebox, put together by compilation producer Brent James takes us back to that booming period just prior to - and at the start of the 'British Invasion'. A 2CD set superbly mastered with State by State Australian Chart details along with extensive liner notes, the set features local chart hits from Tommy Roe, Johnny O'Keefe, Rick Nelson, Bobby Fuller, The Delltones, Jumpin' Gene Simmons, Mike Sarne, Elvis Presley, Del Shannon and many others who set the stage the for the hits that were to come.
