To be released via Warner Music Australia, the 4LP box set brings together the original Sunnyboys album together the band’s iconic 1980 Phantom Records debut EP and, for the first time ever on vinyl, the 17-track pre-album demo session and a live performance recorded at Sydney venue the Governors Pleasure in February 1981. With added snippets of a band interview undertaken by Triple J’s Stuart Matchett around the album’s release, plus the contents of a scrapbook kept by the mother of drummer Bil Bilson and more, the collection provides the complete picture of the band’s astonishing first twelve months.
