"Right Here"a Tribute to The Go BetweensPage 6 |
THE CARNIVAL IS OVER (Full time results)
This record ended up being my last release on Hippy Knight Records and we've now closed down (anyone wanna sink $$$'s into another venture contact me at P O Box 1281 Windsor 3181). There have been two comments I keep getting shit about since 'Right Here' was released...
1. Not having enough Sydney or more particularly Brisbane Bands because The Go-Betweens were from there.
2. Why didn't JJJ make it LP of the Week?
Well it's like this... Almost every Australian band wanted to be on it, the project could have been a Vulgar Tongue comp 10 times the size. But Hippy Knight had almost a non-existent budget to record and release this record & promote it (basically this record was recorded and mixed on what it cost to record just ONE! Count it, one track on BMG's AC/DC tribute). As for JJJ, I tried to make as many people as happy as possible. But of course not everyone will be and people in this biz will stab you for not rubbing their back. Yes I would do things differently if I had a chance to compile this again but, I'm still damn fucking proud of the record. I'd like to see anyone else try to compile a tribute LP that didn't suck like most tributes do. Oh yeah, it still didn't sell even 0.1 of a percent as many as silverchair have. END
