Golden Miles..Australian Progressive Rock 1969 to 1974..a collection


Over 150 minutes of  "ASTOUNDING AURAL EXTRAVAGANZAS"

For all you "progressive rock" fans, this is one album you must have for your collection. 30 classic tracks from the cream of Aussie prog-rock of the late 60s and early 70s with a line-up including Carson, Lotus, Healing Force, Taman Shud, Tully, Spectrum, Company Caine, Blackfeather, Madder Lake, Fraternity (feat. Bon Scott), Daddy Cool, Colored Balls, Mackenzie Theory, Kahvas Jute, Galadriel, the Master’s Apprentices, Pirana, Bakery and many others.. From the ranks of these bands came musicians who would later emerge in AC/DC, Manfred Mann’s Earth Band, Rainbow, Be Bop Deluxe, Count Bishops and the Gary Moore Band

If you were around at the time these were originally released, then I am sure they will bring back a swag of memories. For those of you that were not, then it's time to discover some gems of Australian rock music. Many of the original albums that these tracks are from are now very hard to find while some have been re-released and are worth tracking down.
