Amazon music streaming suggested I might want to listen to Spring Hill Fair so, for the first time in years, I did. And it sounded great. How had I never noticed the Burundi-style drumming on The Old Way Out? (Adam & The Ants' previously uncharted influence on The Go-Betweens?) How had I missed the psychedelic-hipster-beat-jazz genius of River Of Money? | ||

I admit that one of my pesty audience stunts was to request "River of Money" when I saw the Go-Betweens play at the Troubadour in 2005. I honestly like it a good deal better than "Cut It Out" two albums later. | ||

Cut It Out is definitely the worst song The Go-Betweens ever released. | ||

Yep, you're not wrong! (Sorry, if you get multiple versions of my reply - tech issues!) | ||

Spring Hill Fair is the most "Brisbane" album ever, I think. I hear it and it brings back exactly what the city was like, for me, in the summer of 1984. I dont know why I just find it incredibly evocative. Maybe, maybe no their BEST album, but certainly my favourite. | ||

Any album with "Part Company" is going to be essential. I see this album as a great one for Robert. |
