Product Overview
Australian Crawl - Sirocco - 40Th Anniversary Edition (VINYL ALBUM)
An integral piece of Australian surf rock history, 'Sirocco' cemented Australian Crawl's legendary status in Australian rock.Boasting the singles 'Errol', 'Oh No Not You Again' and 'Things Don't Seem', the album was named after actor Errol Flynn's yacht. It spent 6weeks at #1 on the Australian album charts, 8 months in the top 20, and is now accredited 3x Platinum by ARIA.
'Sirocco' is single-laden, and flows seamlessly between album tracks and hits. Despite Crawl's history as a laid-back surf band from the Mornington Peninsula, this record strikes listeners as a more polished and complete collection of tracks than their breakthroughrecord, 'The Boys Light Up'.
Sirocco was also the first Crawl album to feature Guy McDonough ìÜdrummer Bill McDonough's brother ìÜwho had a tremendous influence on the band's more polished sound and domestic commercial success. Guy added a smoothness not seen on the sharper-edged'The Boys Light Up'record, and does a brilliant job on vocals for hits 'Errol' and 'Oh No Not You Again'.
The album is filled with classic guitar pop and bravado, and highlights Crawl's ability to combine breezy tunes while hintingatdarker subtexts. Standout hits 'Errol' and 'Things Don't Seem' also wouldn't sound out of place on a record by The Police.
To mark the 40thAnniversary, the album is being reissued on limited-edition clear 180-gram vinyl and housed in its original sleeve.
