Somehow, here in Boston, i was able to grab all the original Trilobites 45's on Citadel Records when they came out, along with lots of other Aussie artists......i thought their major label release "Savage Mood Swing" from 1989 had some great songs on it, albeit a little more mainstream sounding......thanks!!!!Jim H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04124385081342763337noreply@blogger.com
