      Australian exclusive reissue of the Aussie bands 1989 album, with 3 bonus tracks 'Cajun Country', 'Spaghetti Western' & 'Love For A Friend'. Includes fold out poster. EMI. 2005. (amazon.com)

      I never thought I would see a remastered version of this release. I'm not a Hoodoo Guru diehard , but this was one of my favorite cd's in college. "Come Anytime" is the eptiome of what was right with college radio in the 80's. Catchy chorus with jangly guitars. "Baby Can Dance" was my favorite. Any song that refers to thinking about a girl "every day and night" is something you can relate to in your early 20s. Hell, you can relate to that at any age. The remastered sound is great and meshes in well with other more recent releases on my ipod. (amazon.com)

      The Hoodoo Gurus' first album for RCA provided a lot of hit potential that sadly never materialized ("Come Anytime" was as close as they came to it on the college charts) but Dave Faulkner's guitar-jangly, hook-laden tunes never broke though into the pop mainstream. Too bad; virtually every song here could have been a contender. Self-produced, polished without being slick, and literate, the band never found a foothold in the tide of post-Nirvana rock that washed up on radio in the mid-90s. Star-crossed with a label that didn't know how to promote them (realizing RCA's less-than-stellar track record with its rock acts, they even needled the label with the baseball-metaphor "Where's That Hit?") even great songs weren't enough to get this album heard.
