Hadn't heard this one, but we had the same situation in Australia - breaking out and writing your own songs was a rare thing, but became more common in the 70's and was somewhat of a norm by the 80's ...

Cheers

Oh now that's a great song, I used to love that song, haven't heard it in forever.   And I am ashamed to say I didn't know they were a Kiwi band.

Re: kiwi classic no. 2

In the UK bands covered American records until the Beatles, Stones and the Kinks came along. Apart from the BeeGees and the Easybeats antipodean music escaped me. To be honest this song doesn't float my boat like so many British records from that era, good but not brilliant.     

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.
