Tales From the Australian Underground Vol. 2: 1977 - 1990 comes as a 2CD set complete with a 36 page fullcolour booklet containing photographs, every single cover, and in-depth look at each and every track. It's an exhausting and dialectic exercise compiling Tales From the Australian Underground but someone has to do it, right? For the uninitiated, Tales From the Australian Underground charts the evolution of the Australian alternative sound beginning with the big bang of 1976 and the debut recordings of both Radio Birdman and The Saints, right through to the digital and alternative-mainstream crossover of the early '90s. Using 7" records in the main to provide the storyline, Tales uncovers a bevy of vinyl treasure in the quest to tell the truth. Radio Birdman, The Saints, The Birthday Party, Tactics, Scientists, Sekret Sekret and the Triffids are just some of the acts making the graduation from volume one, whilst Teenage Radio Stars, SPK, The Singles, Sacred Cowboys, Severed Heads, Salamander Jim, Ollie Olsen, Primitive Calculators, feedtime, The Stems & the Widdershins are just some of the thirty-four debutantes. In total, 45 tracks from forty-five underground stars, with 24 of those tracks appearing on CD for the very first time.
