The soundtrack for the film didn't reach an LP or 45, but here's the cover for Stead's 45 which was released in 1980, and below that images of an older Stead: There is a title song which runs over head and tail credits, written by Stead, performed by Lori Balmer. It returns for a repeat performance over the tail credits. Lyrics for the song as it runs over the head credits: The boy was born in 1966 He sure stood out from all the other kids The nurses they went very weak at the knees ooh ooh Melvin The son of Alvin They didnʼt tell him ʼbout his real Dad Could not explain about the magic he had The women couldnʼt leave the boy alone ooh ooh Melvin (spoken) Mothers, behave yourselves The son of Alvin Every day heʼs on the run From all these girls who want some fun Melvin, the son of Alvin They gonna catch him if they can Melvin, the son of Alvin They gonna catch him if they can When they see him walking down the street Every girl would fall at his feet Heʼd run and hide when they said sex Melvin, the son of Alvin One day he might meet a girl Whoʼll come along and take him out of his shell Melvin, the son of Alvin They gonna catch him if they can Melvin, the son of Alvin They gonna catch him if they can <guitar solo> Every day heʼs on the run From all these girls who want some fun Melvin, the son of Alvin They gonna catch him if they can Melvin, the son of Alvin They gonna catch him if they can <synth riff, teacher dialogue, as Melvin tries to hide a bottle of urine from his teacher, which she then confiscates from him and drinks: Teacher: Melvin Simpson (gesturing for him to hand over the bottle of urine) How thoughtful of you, spending all your pocket money on a drink for me. (she gets a straw out of her desk drawer). Cheers … (the class titters in shock and the teacher reels and goes one-eyed while Melvin faints, as the song continues)> Melvin, the son of Alvin They gonna catch him if they can Melvin, the son of Alvin They gonna catch him if they can Melvin, the son of Alvin They gonna catch him if they can Melvin, the son of Alvin They gonna catch him if they can ... Song interrupts for “Jaws” 'threatening boob swimming' musical joke in swimming pool sequence, returns to song for brief instrumental refrain before fading out over footage of Melvin and other students leaving the school graduation ball ... An LP of the film's music was released, but it had few tracks, and is now very rare. According to one database site, here, it was released on 1st October 1984. LP EMI BUG-240262 1984 SIDE 1: 1.

  • “Covering” the Bluesman from a Distance
    Introduction In many ways, my journey towards this thesis topic began with my brother’s music collection. Throughout my teens he would introduce me to a wide range of local and international acts, many of which were influenced by African-American blues artists. This influence is evident in both their construction of sound and the old songs that they rerecorded. From there I began tracing musical influences from song credits and interview excerpts—a path often travelled by musicians and fans alike—that would eventually lead me to an appreciation of blues music. The penultimate step towards this topic came in the form of my honours thesis—a creative project that involved rerecording several tracks from the catalogue of an early Australian country music artist, one of which was titled “Blue Mountain Blues”.1 From there I turned to blues music in Australia. Initially conceived as a history of “Australian blues”, it became apparent that this proposed sub-genre struggled to unify and explain the disparate musical styles contained therein. Although each artist was clearly addressing the musical characteristics and influences I had come to recognise as “blues music”, it all sounded different. In the meantime, I developed a keen interest in a fellow colleague’s thesis topic that addressed the role of “covers” within the Australian music industry (Giuffre, 2005). My epiphany—and catalyst for the current thesis topic—eventually presented itself while viewing a live performance from Peter Green Splinter Group. The concert was split into two courses: an acoustic entrée featuring several Robert Johnson “covers”; and, an electric main with side dishes of early Fleetwood Mac material—the band Green had help found many years ago.

  • Alvin Rides Again Music Credits
    music Brian Cadd (cast) cabaret performers Brian Cadd and the Bootleg Family music arrangement Graeme Lyall music recording Bill Armstrong Studios Composer and performer Brian Cadd wrote the music for both Alvin Purple and Alvin Rides Again, and the opening titles number for the sequel is a reprise of the song he wrote for the first film. A jazzed-up variant of the title song, sounding like it was sung by the "double" gangster character Balls McGee, played by Graeme Blundell, runs over the end credits. In the sequel Cadd and his band score a lengthy spot singing a number All In The Way (They Use My Face). Brian Cadd was a popular singer songwriter who had been in the bands The Groop and Axiom in the 1960s, and then in the early 1970s went solo. His self-titled debut album was released in October 1972, with the first single Ginger Man. After doing the scores for Alvin Purple and the sequel Alvin Purple Rides Again, and releasing his third solo album, Moonshine in 1974, Cadd went to the United States to work, not returning to Australia until 1993. His wiki is here. Cadd has his own detailed web site, with history, photos etc here. Information on that site is replicated, with other details, here. (Below: Brian Cadd in his Axiom days, on the right, front, and below that, his eponymous album, in the recording studio, and with the Bootleg Family) The song Cadd and the band perform was released as a 45: 45 Stereo Bootleg BL-230 1974 Produced by Brian Cadd Arranged by Peter Best Recorded at Bill Armstrong Studios Melbourne, Australia A side: All In The Way (They Use My Face) (4'03") (Brian Cadd) (Barrelhouse) Vocal: Brian Cadd.
