CITADEL/ Radios Appear was Radio Birdman's first full length album. Recorded piecemeal over 1976 and early 1977, on weekends and nights when their home base (Trafalgar Studios Sydney) had no paying customers, it was finally released on the Trafalgar label, created specifically to release their records. In addition to mail order, the album was literally distributed by hand and out of the back of cars. The band thus wrote the Australian handbook on DIY independent music. It was hailed as a breakthrough album in Australian music, a turning point after the scene's early and mid seventies stagnation. Radios Appear was given a 5 star review in Rolling Stone, and the album gave the band a needed boost to depart Sydney as a national touring entity, while still maintaining their renegade status. It has been out of print on vinyl for 25 years. This 140-gm version has been remastered from original tapes and cut onto lacquer, features a black and white insert sheet with rare band photos, an exact replica sleeve and download card. Every home needs a copy of this classic slice of uncompromising high-energy Australian rock & roll.
