In 1970 Vince Melouney who had been in the Australian group Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs from 1963-65 original line up that did Poison Ivy, Mashed Potato, Sick and Tired and Over The Rainbow, Vince and Tony's Two, Tony Worsley and the Fabulous Blue Jays, Vince Melouney Sect and the Bee Gees who had played on the early international hits including New York Mining Disaster 1941, To Love Somebody, Massachusettes, Words and others until 1968 when he left formed an band with Doug Parkinson who had great success with In Focus with hits including Dear Prudence and Without You, Teddy Toi and Johnny Dick who both played with Max Merritt and the Meteors which Teddy was there in 1964 and Johnny in 1963 until 1965 when they joined Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs which they played on the hits including I Told The Brook, Twilight Time and Hallejuah I Love Her So until 1967 which Johnny played with In Focus and Teddy played with Little Sammy and the In People which they were called Fanny Adams in London and went to Morgan's Studio in London for 6 weeks of songwriting and recording the album that would be self titled album which would be released in June 1971 after their break up and came back to Australia in December 1970 which they played one gig at Ceasar's Place for what was meant to be 6 weeks residency but was burnt down as well as an early evening show at St Leonard's Park as well as playing Myponga Festival near Adelaide as well as shows in Melbourne and the Fairlight Festival in NSW but in February 1971 Fanny Adams split up and the album is finally out on CD which it is released by Aztec Records. On this reissued album which has the original tracks that was on the original album and there is 4 bonus tracks which has the mono and single version of Got To Get A Message To You and They're All Losers Honey as well as an great booklet done by Ian McFarlane who is an Australian music journalist which has an interview with Vince Melouney. It is FANTASTIC, BRILLIANT and SUPERB with FANTASTIC and AWESOME songs which hold up very well today as well as still sounding great as it did back well. Out of the group Vince is the only survivor as Johnny Dick passed away in 2017, Doug Parkinson in 2021 and Teddy Toi last year (2022) as well as Vince plays with Tall Poppy Syndrome which includes Clem Burke from Blondie. This is an must for Australian music fans of the 70's and I give it 5 stars as you can buy it on line on the Aztec Records website so do yourselves an favour and BUY IT which yu will be impressed and amazed.
