Product Description

GILLESPIE/MARK
(CD)
[ERA : 80s / Rock, Pop ]
A deluxe 2CD presentation, with 16 bonus tracks, of Mark Gillespie's 1980 debut album. Only Human is rightly regarded as one of the best debuts ever released in this country and Gillespie as one of our best ever songwriters. Aztec have been working on this release for some time and, as well as a few obstacles along the way, there have been some great discoveries - including a wealth of rare and unreleased material - so much in fact, that they have decided to make the release a double disc. CD1 is the Only Human album with the addition of a rare post-LP 3 track single (Deep As You / Stronger Together / Falling). CD2: The early years 1977-1979 collects all of Mark's pre-album recordings. Two tracks from the OZ records compilation Debutantes, the whole of the legendary Black Tape demos (including a lost track that only surfaced in 2009) and the 1979 single Comin' Back For More / Alligator Music. Gillespie is joined by some Australia's finest musicians including; Ross Hannaford (Daddy Cool), Joe Creighton (Black Sorrows, Tim Finn) and Mark Meyer (Stylus, Richard Clapton). The CDs are digitally remastered by Gil Matthews, and packaged in an 8 panel digi-pak, with a 28 page booklet with rare photos and liner notes by Ted Lethborg. Gillespie, from some recent correspondence, gives us some terrific insights with his hilarious, and sometimes controversial, remembrances - as well as track by track comments for the album.
