Show 349

Change of Heart by Change. the fifth studio album by the Italian/U.S. ensemble Change, released in1984. Change was initially formed in early 1979 as a studio-band with a revolving cast of musicians, led by businessman and executive producer Jacques Fred Petrus, with the majority of song-writing and production carried out by Mauro Malavasi and Davide Romani. The band’s dual Italian and American identity was a result of a production system in which the music, excepting the vocals, were written and recorded by Italian collaborators in studios such as Fontoprint Studios, Bologna, Italy. The backing tracks were then taken to the USA where vocals were added by American performers, before being mixed into finalised versions in major studios such as the Power Station in New York City.

Aussies for George Young – Easybeats, Vanda & Young, produced Ac/Dc…Angus and Malcolm’s older brother… he was only 70.

*Friday on My Mind by The Easybeats. Originally released in 1966, the band re-released the track in 1980. It only went to 92 on the Australian chart, after having been a smash #1 originally. But it means I get to play this version here in honour of George, who died last week at the age of 70.

*Waiting for a Train by Flash and the Pan. Formed in late 1976 by Harry Vanda and George Young. This is their ninth single and was taken from the album Headlines. It was their most successful single, reaching number 7 on the UK singles chart in 1983. The song features the vocals of Stevie Wright, the former bandmate of Harry Vanda and George Young from their time in The Easybeats. This 12″ is a long disco version; they also put out remixes in 1989 and 1996.

*High Voltage by Ac/Dc. George Young produced the entire album, T.N.T., as well as played bass guitar on this track. This was their second album…the first was in 1974 and was released in Australia only. High Voltage was the title track to that album – George also produced and played on that entire album.

*Bad Boy for Love by Rose Tattoo. Produced by George Young and Harry Vanda for their self-titled debut album, released in 1978.

*Love is in the air by John Paul Young. His only world-wide hit. Released in 1977, made it big the next year. Written and produced by Vanda & Young…from Ac/Dc and Rose Tattoo to this!
