It's time to pay tribute to another favorite band of mine that set high musically standards, but unfortunately they were only two years active and released far too little. So this damn rare fucker came via Aberrant Records and 507 copies of this superb slab exist. Fourteen goodies in a very good sound quality and I love their raw and pure personality. Excellent liner notes which I would like to quote: "During their brief existence, beginning March 1981, the Kelpies produced some of the best, wildest and most memorable gigs seen in Sydney, developing a knack of being banned from venues as quickly as they packed the out. Combined with internal personal problems, this eventually led to their demise in August 1982, with only one single on Phantom Records and three tracks on the first Aberrant compilation Flowers Of The Dustbin. This tape, released with permission of the band, was recorded sometime in 1981 during a rehearsal in the mattressed basement of 51 Stanley Street, Darlinghurst, also known as The Dungeon Tapes. Its release it to make available the classic material that should have been an album for a band that could have had the world." The Kelpies: James (vocals), Brian & Mark (guitars), Con (bass), Ashley (drums), were (and still are) a real highlight of Australian underground music. A Must Listen!
