Mushroom 40-Rock

Mushroom 40 ROck is the various artist double CD as it is 40 years when the record label Mushroom was launched which was founded by Michael Gudinski. In this double CD it has the classic hits from the 70's which includes Skyhooks, Matt Taylor, The Sports, Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs,Ol'55, Madder Lake etc, the 80's which includes Paul Kelly, the Swingers, the Choirboys, Ian Moss,Uncanny X-Men, Jimmy Barnes etc, the 90's including Angry Anderson,the Badloves, the Angels,Nick Barker,Cold Chisel etc and the 2000's including Eskimo Joe and 28 Days. It's an AWESOME and BRILLIANT double CD with great songs which still endures after all these years and this CD was compiled and annotated by Jeff Jenkins, audio assembly and mastering done by Warren Barnett and photography and artwork done by Dan O'Brien. This CD is a must for any AUstralian music fans which I'm sure you will enjoy the music and I am giving this 5 stars which it's in the shops now.

    Would've been even more awesome and brilliant had there been a few more less obvious song choices,like...
    The original single versions of Fireworks (instead of Run To Paradise) by The Choirboys,Bottom Of My Heart(instead of Serpentine) by Kings Of The Sun and Taxi Mary(instead of Shape I'm In) by Jo Jo Zep, and Finger On The Trigger(instead of Dogs Are Talking) by The Angels
    All of which I believe have never appeared on a CD of any kind ever.
