V/A - Doobie Do Disc 1982

Pioneering New Zealand independent label Propeller, active 1980-1983, is regarded as the first of the wave of post-punk NZ indies and lots of great records were released. Another witness is this compilation, a label retrospective and brings Propeller’s early releases and two unreleased songs from the Features into the light. This shows that at that time the original singles were hard to get (especially outside of the Kiwi region), most were published in small editions, so this slab was probably due to the high demand, and was not easy to get as well, nor cheap. Anyway, all excellent songs from great bands and a timeless sound document of the oceania underground scene, a must have!
