RADIO BIRDMAN - Radios Appear (White Version) LP

This version of Radios Appear was released after Sire Records signed the band. The original Australian album was 'updated' for overseas release with new versions of some songs, the remixing of others and the addition of new songs. The resulting album is over 50% different from the original Australian (Trafalgar) version and has a completely different cover white and black cover leading it to be commonly known as the "White Version".

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.

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.

Every home needs a copy of this classic slice of uncompromising high-energy Australian rock and roll.
