" Bushwackers" Faces in the street 1981


Another nice rip from Ian, our prolific Adelaide ripper ... Thanks as usual Ian, nice one.

This album is on the "Avenue" label from 1981, comes with front and back scans, not much information on the recording as yet, some research needed.

Track Listing:
01 ; Faces In The Street
02 ; Ned Kelly's Tunes
03 ; 1891
04 ; Weevils In The Flour
05 ; Marijuana Australiana
06 ; Freedom On The Wallaby
07 ; Les Darcy
08 ; Dick's Pig
09 ; Bill's Yarn
10 ; The Tent Poles Are Rotten
11 ; The Mistress On The Floor

Something here for everyone: Raunchy Rock guitar, Cajun Banjo, Ceilidh dance,
humour as well as a good dose of pure Ozzieana, plus some Environmental protest,
makes this Band popular with a wide audience.

New Links as of 12 Nov 2012 - 256k MP3 rip + Scans

  4. Enormous thanks for posting The Bushwakers albums. I was looking for Shearer's Dream for more than 10 years!

    Is it possible to share two more albums: Beneath the Southern Cross and Lively? I have several Bushwackers albums released on CD, I could reciprocate by sharing them (And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda, Dance Album, compilation So Far and EP Bushwacked + Murrimbudgee/Bushefire reelased as Flasj Jack from Gundagai).

  5. Hello matty_groves,
    I'm happy to post links to anything (and they can be your links if you prefer!) I do not have "Beneath the Southern Cross" and "Lively" but hopefully I will eventually find them or someone else will share them. I do have the 3CD compilation "The Great Bushwackers" but that is still being sold so I do not share it. If you, or anyone else for that matter, want to share your music (provided it is currently unavailable, preferably contact me on "mr.stockman@gmail.com"

    1. Hello Ian of Adelaide,
      I have recerntly discovered and been very much enjoying your various excellent Bushwackers uploads.
      I have tried numerous times to download/rip the "Faces in the Street" and "The Original Bushwackers and Bullockies Band"albums but it comes up as an error every time. Are you able to assist me with this ?
      I'd really appreciate any help you can give.
      Cheers

    2. Hi James. Gonzo posted this album for me during one of my absences. I have no idea as to wgo "owned the link - either Gonzo or Ian, I guess. It seems that link has now failed so I am now putting up two fresh links.
      Re "The Original Bushwhackers and Bullockies Band", There is no link to return an error message? Downloading of this album was cancelled at the request of the latest Copright holder. See deatils on that posting.

  8. Ian, I have it on CD. I will rip it for you and will share. If the CD is in print let's not share here, if it is OOP - let's do. I will do the rip and cover scan in two weeks.

    Paul: do you know an online shop, which sells this 3 CD compilation?

  9. Hello matty_groves,
    I'm not sure what album you are referring to - "Dance Album", "Lively", or "Beneath the Southern Cross". Regardless, I can't find any CDs for sale anywhere.

  13. Thank you so so so much. Have been trying to find this version of "Faces in the street" for many years. Such a wonderful Australian poem brought to a musical life by the Bushwakers. Can anyone explain why it doesn't appear on their various compilation cd's? Once again, many thanks.
