The Hoax Is Over by the Aztecs


 In January 1971  the Aztecs released the album The hoax Is Over which went to number 7 in Australia  and it only had 4 tracks including the song Gangster of Love  which one of the lyrics got beeped  and it is out on cd  as an double   edition. Besides from the 4 original tracks  which thanks to Aztecs Drummer Gil Matthews  who is also an remastering engineer has reinserted the word that was beeped on Gangster of Love for maximum impact   it has bonus tracks which includes Billy Thorpe's 1967 single Dream Baby the Roy Orbison song with the b side You Don't Live Twice, Good Morning Little Schoolgirl/Rock me Baby from 1970,  live recordings that has never been released including Pinball Wizard, Season of the Witch as well as live recordings from Bondi Lifesaver  as well as the 1994 promo song for the Sydney Rugby League  as well as demos of songs like It's Almost Summer and  Believe It Just Like Me as well as demos by Gil Matthews and Warren "The Pig "Morgan and one by Bruce Howard . It's FANTASTIC, BRILLIANT and SUPERB with FANTASTIC songs as well as the bonus tracks they sound great too as well as hearing Dream Baby which it is wonderful to see it on CD and  is well worth listening. The booklet is FANTASTIC too  and it is fantastic to see this album out on CD . This is an must for Billy Thorpe fans and I give it 5 stars as it's in the shops as well as online at aztecrecords.com.au so do yourselves an favour and BUY IT which you will love it.
