This book is about the hits that captured a mood, a vibe, a moment in Australia from 'Waltzing Matilda' to 'Spinning Around'. In-between there are the songs that are now part of the landscape from 'Shaddup Your Face' to 'Holy Grail'. It's about how songs can shape our lives and our sense of who we are. It's also about the serious business of creating a hit and building an industry.
Many of the legendary characters who helped to create a vibrant pop scene here lend their voices to this fascinating trip through the backrooms of three decades of Australian popular song. Live and remixed, this book tells the compelling story of how the songs were made and what we made of them.
