tim gaze band
band on the run (music from the soundtrack "band on the run" directed by harry hodge)

* cardboard special cd case
* liner notes written by stephen mcparland (surf music historian).
* english/japanese texts.
* lyrics inside


made with the assistance of coca-cola bottlers australia and the australian film commission, the film appeared briefly and then vanished, as did the accompanying soundtrack lp earmarked for release by festival records in mid 1982.

however, festival records "jumped the gun" somewhat and pressed up a limited number of "promotional" copies, some of which were distributed before the release was cancelled.

of the 13 selections included on the soundtrack lp, eight were supplied by the tim gaze band who also appeared in the film performing their material. the remaining tunes were all by american j.j. cale, a tulsa, oklahoma musician renowned for his "soft yet rasping voice" and "weirdly haunting guitar style."

as for the australian content of the package, ex-tamam shud lead guitarist tim gaze and his group (robbie france-shaw on drums, harry curtis on bass, peter bolton on keyboards and annette henery on backing vocals) provided an assortment of vocal and instrumental tunes, most of which contained direct lyrical affinity with the surfing lifestyle.

of their eight contributions, gaze wrote five outright and collaborated on two with the film's producer/director harry hodge (who supplied the lyrics) and one with suzanne petersen. of these, gaze sang the lead vocal on all except the petersen-gaze collaboration lazy day fever which instead featured co-writer petersen in the vocal spotlight. petersen, who also played flute and guitar, performed live with the tim gaze band at its inception.

the connection that brought the tim gaze band together with the film's director/producer harry hodge came via group member peter bolton's friendship with wayne "rabbit" bartholomew, one of the "stars" of the film. "rabbit" introduced bolton and gaze to hodge and a deal was struck, the result of which was the group's contributions to band on the run.

evolution (music feat. on paul witzig's movie "evolution")

* originally issued in 1969.
* cardboard special cd case
* 3 bonus tracks from their non-album recordings of "bali waters e.p"
* english/japanese texts.
* lyrics/scarce photos inside
* original jkt cover art

liner notes written by: paul witzig and stephen mcparland (surf music historian).


featured the songs for another classic australian surf movie "evolution" filmed by paul witzig in 1969, played by australian group called tamam shud. this surfer quartet featured lindsay bjerre and tim gaze, both of them were successful for their solo career.

tamam shud was one of the most original and innovative australian groups of the late 60s and early 70s. they played a very important part as pioneers of acid-rock and progressive music. for many years after they split they were something of a cult, and their original recordings were (and still are) very hard to obtain. but thanks to a gratifying 'comeback', and some commercial success with their 1994 album permanent culture, and the driving, bluesy single stay, there has been a significant revival of interest in this outstanding and original group, and it sparked interest in this classic band with younger listeners as well.

the evolution of shud was typical of many groups of the era, beginning as an instrumental band, through 'beat' pop group and psychedelia, to progressive rock.. from the original line-up (the sunsets), through to evolution, goolutionites, morning of the earth and permanent culture line-ups, the lingering "surf band" tag linked them with sydney's northern beaches surf culture. in reality, they established their major fan base on sydney's university and college dance circuit, and with the 'hippy' audiences at inner city underground venues like the mandala theatre in darlinghurst and the beacon theatre in newtown.

a bonus track, bali water (m-12) is featured richard lockwood (from tully) and played his etheriaal flute for this aesthetic & mystic psychdelia instrumental tune which became one of highlights of this cd.

----------------------------------------

evolution burst explosively on the surfing world in 1969, heralding a period a dynamic change which has never been repeated. the raw energy of the film, the surfing and the music came together to blow away old film & surf music styles, & seeded a youth culture which has swept the world ..... paul witzig
