Description

Our highly anticipated re-issue of the 1980 debut album from Mark Gillespie is released on the 12th of February, 2010. The album, Only Human is rightly regarded as one of the best debuts ever released in this country and Gillespie as one of our best ever songwriters. We have been working on this release for some time and there have been some great discoveries – including a wealth of rare and unreleased material - so much in fact, that we have decided to make the release a double.

CD1 is the Only Human album with the addition of a rare post LP 3-track single ('Deep As You' / 'Stronger Together' / 'Falling'). CD2: The early years 1977-1979 collects all of Mark's pre-album recordings: 2 tracks from the OZ records compilation Debutantes, the whole of the legendary Black Tape demos (including a lost track that only surfaced in 2009) and the 1979 single 'Comin’ Back For More' / 'Alligator Music'.

Gillespie is joined by some Australia 's finest musicians including; Ross Hannaford (Daddy Cool), Joe Creighton (Black Sorrows, Tim Finn) and Mark Meyer (Stylus, Richard Clapton).
