Inner City Sound is a 2CD set stand-alone
companion piece to the cult book of the same name.
Produced and annotated by Clinton Walker and re-mastered by the master
himself, Don Bartley and including an extraordinary hand-drawn fold-out
family tree poster . Inner City Sound provides proof positive that Australia
contributed as much as anyone to the D-I-Y revolution of the late 70s/early
80s: Over forty tracks, restored to a virgin vinyl glory, that still ring
fresh and true, a mix of classics and rarities, many appearing on CD for
the first time. Bristling with urgency and originality, this is an instant
classic twenty years in the making.
