Plus a new Greatest Hits compilation.
Their music has soundtracked many an Australian summer, even 27 years after they called it a day as a band, so it's fitting that the reissue of Australian Crawl material in the digital realm and as a new best-off is set to happen right in the middle of the best season of the year.
The band started back in the Mornington Peninsula back in 1978 and released four LPs, two live albums and an EP in the time they were together. The first three albums, The Boys Light Up, Sirocco and Sons Of Beaches, are jam packed full of iconic Aussie classics and have sold a ridiculous number of copies in the decades since they were released; but now they – and the rest of the catalogue – are being released digitally for the first time.
Don Bartley has remastered the records for iTunes and they will be available from Friday 24 January. That day will also see the release of a new Aussie Crawl compilation – The Greatest Hits – and… well, just check out this tracklist.
