BILLY THORPE & THE AZTECS Billy Thorpe And The Aztecs (2008 Australian exclusive limited edition 4-track 7" vinyl EP, compiling the Aztecs' 2nd & 3rd singles from April & June 1964, seen by many as the beginning of the beat explosion in Australia, marking the shift from Shadows-inspired surf-y instrumentals to British Invasion-styled vocal tracks. Includes a frantic version of The Coasters' 'Poison Ivy' [evidently inspired by the Rolling Stones version], plus 3 superb Tony Barber-penned originals: 'Blue Day', 'You Don't Love Me' and 'Broken Things'; presented in fold-over picture sleeve) ** Limited to 1000 copies **
