The Long Goodbye5 track ep that started it all. Michael and Jon with Bryan Randsfield on drums. Tough but sometimes sentimental, angry but tuneful, ringing guitars that rip and tear. If you ever carried a torch for someone who forgot who you were this record is playing your song. Production NotesWe made a series of recordings in Damien Gerard Studio A in the old Ultimo (Sydney, Australia) site in 1992 and 1993. The best of these became The Long Goodbye.

Karmic Hit was owned by Steve Kilbey at the time, one of my heroes, and was the birth place of some great records like the brilliant Refo:mation album, Pharmakoi/Distance Crunching Honchos with Echo Units. Unfortunately, Sour Pop is not one of those records. Read more ...
