Album Version.

Easily the most successful solo 45 release in Australia for the talented former lead singer of the late 1960’s power pop (and sometimes hard rock) outfit, ‘Zoot’, was an edited version of Darryl’s full length album track.

Following a long ten week lead in on the ‘Kent Music Report’ national ‘top 100’ survey (the forerunner of today’s ‘ARIA Charts’), this pop number finally peaked at the #6 spot on 2 June 1980.

This is the complete original rendition from the vinyl LP album, ‘Best Seat In The House’, with a significantly longer running time than the issued 7 inch disc (pictured).

A few years prior to Darryl’s death in 2012, ‘Sony/BMG’ issued an updated 45 single edit version, a tinkered mix* with clearly amped up guitar and rhythm section tracks that offered listeners a slightly edgier sound. Over time, that rework has received exposure in various music mediums and appears to be the inspiration for the ‘remastered’ digital album length version marketed by ‘EMI Australia’ in August 2019.

Australia release: Early 1980.
Highest local chart position: #4 (Brisbane).

Included on the 2007, 2xCD compilation album, ‘Counting The Beat (Australian Pop Of The 80’s)’.
