About this product
Clear Blue. Sherbet (aka Highway or The Sherbs) was one of the most successful Australian rock bands of the 1970s. The 'classic line-up' of Daryl Braithwaite on vocals, Tony Mitchell on bass guitar, Garth Porter on keyboards, Alan Sandow on drums, and Clive Shakespeare on guitar provided their teen-oriented pop style. In 1976 Shakespeare left and was soon replaced by Harvey James. Sherbet's biggest singles were InchSummer LoveInch (1975) and InchHowzatInch (1976), both reaching number one in Australia. InchHowzatInch was also a top 5 hit in the United Kingdom. The band was less successful in the United States, where InchHowzatInch peaked at No. 61. As The Sherbs they also reached No. 61 in 1981 with InchI Have the SkillInch. The group disbanded in 1984. Subsequent re-unions have occurred since 1998.The Sherbs' first album The Skill was released in October 1980 and reached the top half of the Billboard 200. It was the first album by the group - under any of their names - to chart in the US. An accompanying single, InchI Have the SkillInch, became the band's second US pop chart hit at No. 61. The Sherbs also appeared on the inaugural AOR-oriented Rock Tracks chart issued by Billboard in March 1981 InchI Have the SkillInch debuted at No. 45. The track peaked at No. 14 - the band's highest position on any US chart, and The Sherbs also received airplay on US album-oriented rock (AOR) radio stations with InchNo Turning BackInch. This reissue also contains 5 bonus tracks on a second LP. Album Tracks 1. I Have the Skill 2. Back to Zero 3. Cindy Is Waiting 4. Crazy in the Night 5. I'll Be Faster 6. Never Surrender 7.

This September, favoured Sydney selector and crate digger Marco Vella, a.k.a Body Corp, returns with an EP of eight songs collected over the years from various bedrooms, backyards and coastal retreats. Doing what he does best, Vella peppers this record with balearic synths and dreamy swells, creating an atmospheric anthology of vignettes that could just as easily soundtrack a long train ride through the Italian countryside as they are at home in Sydney's quiet bays and bywaters. A drive through the desert, a walk through coastal mangroves, a hungover sharehouse in the city's crumbling inner suburbs - somehow all can be found between the pages of this short and beautiful collection.A prolific producer and always active on the Sydney DJ circuit, Vella is known for his ambient mixes for the likes of Sanpo Disco, Ear to Ear, Best Effort and Theory Therapy. He has also contributed tracks to CC Disco's 'First Light' compilation, the Interior Music series, and Plastic World Vol. 1.When he isn't working solo, Vella performs as part of Retiree, with releases on London's scene-defining Rhythm Section tag. Album Tracks 1. Unusual for Us 2. Solare 3. Traces 4. The Space Between 5. React 6. Joining Time 7. Another Moment 8. Hesitant
