The Ferrets - Don't Fall In Love (1977)

Another great Aussie song, this time from Melbourne group "The Ferrets" with their 1977 hit record "Don't Fall In Love". This was actually the B Side of their first single "Lies". Apparently the band had spent weeks in the recording studio working on "Lies" but knocked up the B Side track in a mere 3 hours. And it was the B Side song that shot the group into the pop charts and to overnight success. The band consisted of lead singer & guitarist Billy Miller, his two gorgeous sisters Jane & Pam, along with a few other musicians who had played with Billy in a previous band. Unfortunately "The Ferrets" were a one-hit-wonder band and pretty well vanished after "Don't Fall In Love" dropped from the hit charts. Though Billy Miller continued a career in music, theatre, and recording.

I don’t check the download stats often, but when I do I'm delighted to see the numbers are increasing all the time, therefore the music I'm sharing is reaching so many people all around the world. However, it's a bit disappointing that there are so few comments or simple words of thanks to show a bit of appreciation.

Here's a fine example: "Marianne Faithfull Live In Hollywood", posted on January 31, has so far been downloaded 119 times, yet only 3 people said thanks. Therefore 116 people just took a copy and couldn't be bothered to spend a few seconds of their time typing thanks.

Anyway, I just want to let you know that a few more "thank you" comments would be appreciated.

 Jim Keays - Undecided

Live on Australian TV show RocKwiz, Mar 17, 2010

As mentioned in my earlier post of The Master's Apprentices "Undecided", no film exists of the band performing this classic, however there are a few vids on YouTube of singer Jim Keay's performing the song with other musicians, the best, in my opinion, was on the TV show RocKwiz in 2010. 

Jim Keays was born in Glasgow, Scotland on 9 September 1946, he migrated to Australia in 1951, and passed away from cancer on 13 June 2014.

Undecided

Wonderful ballsy R&B from Australian group "The Masters Apprentices" titled "Undecided". Unfortunately no live clip of the band performing this number exists, though there are later clips around of lead singer Jim Keays performing it with other musicians. The story goes that the band were in the studio for their first recording session in 1966 and they had a few minutes of recording time remaining, so they knocked this classic up right there and then, complete with glorious distorted lead guitar due to a faulty valve in a tube amp, and Jim Keay's sexual grunting.

 RIP Marianne Faithfull (29 December 1946 - 30 January 2025)

ALBUMS THAT DESERVE ANOTHER LISTEN

Marianne Faithfull Live In Hollywood (2004)

Trouble In Mind (6:38)

Falling From Grace (3:37)

She (3:44)

The Ballad Of Lucy Jordan (5:11)

No Child Of Mine (5:22)

The Last Song (3:28)

Kissin‘ Time (5:44)

Times Square (4:44)

Working Class Hero (6:30)

Incarceration Of The Flower Child (6:04)

As Tears Go By (4:05)

Marianne Faithfull's music took a raw turn with 1979's Broken English. Her decision to shy away from her 1960s pop roots and delve into her own personal desperation, helped mold her into an artist beyond a once-cute pop star. Though never issued as a stand-alone CD, Live In Hollywood was released as part of a DVD package. This show, promoting the 2004 release "Before The Poison" features only two songs from that album on this CD, alongside the abrasive “The Ballad Of Lucy Jordan,” Barry Reynolds' chilling “Times Square” and Faithfull's take on John Lennon's "Working Class Hero", one of the only viable interpretations of Lennon's biting song, delivered here with that wonderfully weathered, don't-fuck-with-this-bitch voice and an appropriately ominous band.
