It was released on the Hi Gloss Record label in October 1996, three months later. The album was recorded in the autumn of 1995 at the Fortissimo Sound Studios in Melbourne. "Mary Mac" was the most successful Blackeyed Susans song and became an essential part of their catalog. The B-sides were bonus tracks; a cover of The Go-Betweens song, "Dive for Your Memory", a cover of Canadian country music artist Hank Snow's "Ninety Miles Per Hour" and "Someone Watching Over Me", an original recorded by Phil Kakulas on an 8-track in a spare room in Abbotsford in 1992. In a review on AllMusic, Ned Raggett calls the lyrics "unsurprisingly not quite as easygoing as the music" and says Kathryn Wemyss' backing vocals add "to the jaunty feeling of the piece".

AllMusic
AllMusic (previously known as All Music Guide and AMG) is an American online music database. It catalogs more than three million album entries and 30 million tracks, as well as information on musicians and bands. Initiated in 1991, the database was first made available on the Internet in 1994. AllMusic is owned by RhythmOne. History AllMusic was launched as ''All Music Guide'' by Michael Erlewine, a "compulsive archivist, noted astrologer, Buddhist scholar and musician". He became interested in using computers for his astrological work in the mid-1970s and founded a software company, Matrix, in 1977. In the early 1990s, as CDs replaced LPs as the dominant format for recorded music, Erlewine purchased what he thought was a CD of early recordings by Little Richard. After buying it he discovered it was a "flaccid latter-day rehash". Frustrated with the labeling, he researched using metadata to create a music guide. In 1990, in Big Rapids, Michigan, he founded ''All Music Guide' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
