Available to pre-order digitally and on CD now. Out June 18th. Collecting 19 tracks over his career for various labels and co-curated by Richard,The Wilde Yearscompiles the recordings of Richard Wilde and his band Wilde + Reckless. This compilation brings these tracks to the world digitally for the first time, andphysically for the first time since Richard better known as Richard Wilkins became ever-present on our TV screens and an essential thread in the fabric of Australian media. The first nugget to be mined from this collection is 'Here For A Good Time'. A rollicking, riff-laden singalong anthem, it's a feel-good stomper that belies its 40 decades in the shadows. Says Richard:"I still remember the first time I heard it on the radio. I pulled over to the side of the road and turned it up to 11. What a buzz!" The 19 tracks on The Wilde Years feature a roll call of musicians who went on to stardom: Tommy Emmanuel, Roxy Music alum Dave Skinner and many more.It's an essential time capsule of a time and place, and a fascinating piece of the puzzle of the manknown to all of us as Richard Wilkins."They were life defining years and experiences -full of moments I'll always treasure and never forget", Richard remembers.
