I hadn't come across this doco before, but it's perhaps an excellent reminder of just how horribly square Australian mainstream sixties pop music was. Many of the bands featured in this four part series did actually record some excellent garage / teanbeat, but you'll only hear their worst here; the only two exceptions being a brief clip from Bryan Davies, and a couple of snippets from the Easybeats. I only post part 1 below: pursue the other 3 at your own peril.
