A very easy FAKE to spot , 'bright' and 'fuzzy' artwork and a printed CDR . Whilst the disc art states this to be a 'Platinum' release , it is NOT a diamond silver disc but a dull silver because of the pale dyes used.
The title clearly identifies that we have is the highlights of the show, but surprisingly does not identify the date or specific location. This has been confirmed as Myer Music Bowl, 13 November 1975 and is a mono soundboard recording .Despite their being a more complete show on the Golden Walrus release Complete Downunder this has reportably been edited from several sources , and does not contain this unique mix.
Other sources include Pro-shot video and a radio broadcast, both of which have alternate mixes The is available on the Ram records release Wings Over Australia, it is for this reason that the Orange release has remained a core choice since it's release in 1994.
Whilst the show is incomplete there are two more tracks on the earlier Orange release Big Mac's Live Tracks . I would have preferred to have seen the duplication of Soily and Hi Hi Hi on both discs rather than split across the two titles. I have seen what looked like a home-made CDR with the original artwork amended and the tracks added to the disc.
As with many title sof this age there is a commercially made CDR available with very 'bright' artwork , but is easy to spot.
