Hey! I take it you guys are Aussies too.

I know about the fantastic EON FM (now Triple M) radio broadcast of the Melbourne Festival Hall show, which in my honest opinion is probably the BEST live Police recording both in quality and energy that you will ever hear, but never knew about this little gem!! How has it been hidden away for so long?? What more have these radio stations got hidden?

How did you find out about it?

Thanks for posting this! I am going to hound Richard Kingsmill until they play it.

Done!
The guestbook seems stopped at a couple of week ago, but I sent the mail.

[New Zealand Promoter]

yeah, the guestbook is out of date but keep the mails coming!

hey everyone- if you check over at the PoliceTour messageboard, somebody put up Melbourne 1980 sounds like a radiobroadcast- it's a hell of a show- also dubbed "evolution 1 & 2" cd. It's under: Recording & Songs: Melbourne 80.

[New Zealand Promoter]

yep - but not to be confused with SYDNEY 1980, which has only been circulating as a low quality multi-gen fm copy so far.... hence the triple J sydney 1980 request....

Word from the station is that they will 'Try ' and reschedule the show for May for their next 'impossible music festival' which they do each year.

If you haven't already mailed richard kingsmill - see details at start of thread - please do so!

[ilbolchini]

Yeah, I got a nice kind reply from Richard Kingsmill stating they're hopefully going to reply it in late May during the IMF
