I appreciate your comments and I...G'day all. I appreciate your comments and I'm pleased to provide some further information regarding this album. The band was approached to record the WA album by Graham Morphett, Managing Director of EMS Records in Adelaide, who saw the band performing at the Victorian Country Music Battle of the Bands in 1978. It was recorded in February 1979 at the EMS studios and the re-release (pictured above) for the eastern states and New Zealand resulted later in 1979 due to the immense popularity in WA of the original and quite visually colourful sesquicentennial (I love that word!) album that was entitled "The Fabulous Ants Bush Band - Tribute to 150 Years of Western Australia". To keep the populace happy and considering that we were recording an album to celebrate WA's 150th year of being, we decided that it may be prudent to include a few songs that simply mentioned anything "west"! Hence "Western Australia For Me", "The Catalpa", "To The West", etc, making an appearance. Hope this clarifies any uncertainties. Cheers, PDPaul Duncannoreply@blogger.com
