MOVING PICTURES - touring in July 2011

By some strange coincidence, Moving Pictures are touring in their original line-up to celebrate the 30-year anniversary of the release and subsequent success of 'Days of Innocence'.

They are playing twice at Lizottes, in Newcastle, once in Sydney, and once in Melbourne.

If you're a fan, don't miss this, as Alex lives permenantly in London, and it was made clear years ago that Garry wouldn't tour with him again - this is once in a lifetime! Pre-sale commences this Tuesday 10th May.

[REQUEST] Moving Pictures - The Last Picture Show

Australian band Moving Pictures formed in 1978, and after much touring, in 1981 released the much lauded 'Days on Innocence' - their killer debut album. It and their mainstay single 'What About Me?' stormed up both the album and singles charts. Many singles were spawned from this album, indeed most tracks are well known to this day.

Matinee was the 1983 follow-up, which gave out a couple of lesser known but no less great songs. Curiously, this album has never been released on cd to this day - or even mp3 on blogspot for that matter!

In one last wonderful moment of excellence, in 1987, Moving Pictures toured Australia, and eventually released the fruits of this tour as 'The Last Picture Show'.

The tracks on this album were as follows -

BACK TO THE STREETS
DESPERATION POINT
EVERY WALKING HOUR
SWEET CHERIE
SHOUT
WINGS
IN LOVE AGAIN
RIGHTS OF MAN
WHAT ABOUT ME

A curious selection of tracks to be sure. What I'm asking for here is if anyone has this album, and if they'd be keen to share it here (or on their own blog). Drop me a comment, and I'll link accordingly. Desperate for both this album and Matinee.
