The Playground - Surreal

A sadly neglected Aussie psych band.   Have not seen this CD floating around for sometime - can therefore assume it may be sadly lost to time.  The name is hard to search for and ... well, it just does'nt seem to exist anymore.  That's a real pity, as few bands can aspire to record such a great collection of songs.

  1. Hmmm, nice pickup. Haven't heard this in quite a while, so thank you for the share. Released early 1991 (January?) if I recall correctly.

    Colin Badger (before Painters & Dockers) guitar/vocals and chief song-writer and Carol Taweel organ/vocals.
