Mental As Anything [Australian] - Discography - 320kbps Bitrate

 Mental As Anything

Formed on a whim by a group of bored art students in search of free drinks, Australia's prankish Mental as Anything went on to forge a career spanning several decades, their tongues remaining planted firmly in cheek throughout the duration of their existence. Debuting in 1978, the Sydney-based group included singer/guitarist Reg Mombasa (born Chris O'Doherty), his bassist brother Peter O'Doherty, lead guitarist Martin Plaza, keyboardist Andrew "Greedy" Smith, and drummer Wayne Delisle; their first gig was held at a nearby hotel, with a pool table serving as a makeshift stage. Their early shows proved surprisingly successful, and soon Mental as Anything had earned enough of a cult following to record a single, 1979's "The Nips Are Getting Bigger"; it was a Top 20 hit down under, and when their debut LP, Get Wet, achieved similar success, the group was off and running.

You are saying this is a complete discography so where is "If You Leave Me, Can I Come Too LP 82" ? Perhaps the songs are captured in the greatest hits releases?

Ozzieguy said...

No, I have not said that, I only share on my blog what I have in my studio.
