Mary&#8217;s was released on Epitaph for the US, but made in the UK. My version is on New Rose, and it came with a &#8220;Limited Editon FREE 12&#8242; EP.&#8221; That&#8217;s right, it&#8217;s a 12 <em>foot<\/em> EP. It&#8217;s huge! Look at the sticker on the pic below. This one also came with a cool songbook\/comic book.<\/p>\n<p>By looking at these guys you might be tempted to think this is just another 1980s band doing the &#8216;6os garage rock punk thing. Or maybe you&#8217;re not that hip. Anyhow, these guys are way deeper than that. I mean, they&#8217;re from <em>Australia<\/em>, so they can&#8217;t help but be weird, and cool. They were somewhat of an Aussie underground super-group, with rotating members who were all in other bands. I can&#8217;t explain the sound beyond saying that it&#8217;s energetic, slightly noisy, and rocked out in the weirdest way. I know they would&#8217;ve been great to see live.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Artist: The Olympic Sideburns Title: Self-titled Year: 1985 Format: Vinyl 12 in.
