Even more remarkable, the tie-in was released by Hammard, a low budget label with access to shelf space and a willingness to spend money on TV spots. According to one source, the LP release ranked #208 for 1980. Greg Pickhaver, who would go on to fame as part of the Roy and H. G. act, was the music consultant for the compile. Director Don McLennan explained in the December-January 1980-81 Cinema Papers interview how the music for the film came about: I always wanted to use music like that; I never thought of having a music score written. But I was ata bit of a loss because I hadn't listened to music recently and had cut myself off. So Trevor Lucas put me on to Greg Pickhaver, who was working for 3RRR-FM. I got together with Greg and he looked at the film and we talked about it. he was fantastic. Greg is totally responsible for the music in the film. He would offer me a choice of four or five songs for a particular scene, and I would make the final decision. We also arranged an excellent deal for the soundtrack album. Hammard Records have released all the songs and backed it up with a huge television campaign which goes to every state in the country. The release of the film has been tied in with their campaign which gives us a television back-up to the normal publicity, at no extra cost. The music is an essential part of the film although a lot of people reckon the music is mixed too loud … that's their problem. You mix it the way you feel it. Pickhaver has a short wiki here. The compilation featured charting tracks, delivered by the top names of Australian pop and rock at the time, and it was also notable for having Paul Kelly in his early Paul Kelly and the Dots days deliver the title track Hard Knocks: LP Hammard HAM-05 September 1980 Record compiled from master tapes owned or controlled by E.M.I.

(2020) The Victorian Music Business Career Life Cycle, RMIT University, Melbourne for the Victorian Music Development Office 2 Foreword A message from the VMDO The music industry will always evolve and so will career prospects. This study provides a genuine insight into how change can be managed in an uncertain industry. The skills, knowledge and experience demonstrated by passionate Victorian music industry professionals and businesses are imperative – they solidify and bind so many possibilities for musicians and artists in the music sector. It’s also evident that this extensive and nimble skillset is transferable across many sectors – creative, corporate and non-for-profit. These unsung heroes could include artist managers, record label owners, promoters, publicists, agents, marketing and publishing practitioners (amongst others) who may work for organisations or within their own small or micro music businesses. The Victorian Music Development Office (VMDO) co-designed the Victorian Music Business Career Life Cycle study with RMIT University and Doctor Catherine Strong from the School of Media and Communication, which looks at gaining a deeper understanding of what skills and strategies people need to be successful as a music professional.

  • RICHARD STATE Final Edit
    THE LONESOME VOYAGER Songs and stories from the Best Years of Our Lives STATE THEATRE – SYDNEY - SATURDAY AUGUST 15 Bookings: www.ticketmaster.com.au PHONE 136 100 Tickets on Sale at 10.00am Thursday April 30 On August 15th 2015, Richard Clapton makes a welcome return to Sydney’s State Theatre to continue the tradition of his annual concert in this special venue. This unique show will be performed in two parts. The first part of the show will be Richard and the masterful Danny Spencer on guitar, performing an acoustic repertoire and insights into Richard’s life and songwriting. Danny and Richard have been musical partners for well over a decade and Danny has become a well established part of Richard’s musical DNA. After interval, Richard returns to the stage with his full band and an exciting creative sound and lighting production. After more than 40 years of treading the boards on the Australian rock scene, this year Richard will bring together a very different style of show for the State Theatre. With the fantastic response to Richard’s recent memoirs, “The Best Years of Our Lives” in 2015, it occurred to him that audiences might just would appreciate a hybrid show featuring not just the music, but all the often crazy and often emotional stories behind the music. The book covers the halcyon years from the late Sixties in London to the Seventies and Eighties on the Oz rock scene. The musical journey onstage will cover those days of “The Golden Age” the likes of which we will never see again, accompanied by storytelling from one of the true survivors of those times.

  • 31 July 2013 Ms Sabina Wynn the Executive Director Australian Law
    31 July 2013 Ms Sabina Wynn The Executive Director Australian Law Reform Commission GPO Box 3708 Sydney NSW 2001 Dear Ms Wynn Submission by J. Albert & Son Pty Ltd (Alberts) in response to the ALRC’s “Copyright and the Digital Economy” Discussion Paper As Managing Director of Alberts , I welcome the opportunity to respond to the Discussion Paper. Alberts’ view Alberts is a family-owned company established by my great-great grandfather in 1885, the main business of which is the creation, protection and exploitation of music copyright. In its early days, Alberts’ copyright interests tended towards acquisition of local rights for overseas musical works. That changed in 1964 when Alberts established Albert Productions, an enterprise with the express purpose of being a developer and (in due course) exporter of music copyrights. Alberts went on to work with some of Australia’s most significant artists and writers including the Easybeats, the Angels, Rose Tattoo, John Paul Young and AC/DC. In association with Alberts, AC/DC has gone on to become one of the most successful rock bands of all time, and helped Alberts become a net-exporting Australian copyright owner. Alberts is a member of the following Australian copyright collecting societies and trade associations: AMPAL, APRA|AMCOS, ARIA and PPCA. I am aware that a number of these organisations, together with the Australian Copyright Council, have tendered submissions to the ALRC. Alberts is broadly supportive of those submissions and the information contained within them. Rather than restate their position, my aim is to provide a perspective from an independent family company that is actively engaged in the music business.
