"I did the orig- inal black and white book for the 'Quadrophenia' album and I was this year. trying to sell it as a tv show," recalls Russell.

Harris and Rickie Lee Jones and a Randy Newman project is still on the back burner. Currently, Russell is working on an as yet unnamed "tv movie with music" for Carly Simon. He produced two John Lennon videos which Yoko Ono directed. In a sense, all of Russell and Rucker's work could be called "tv Lì movies."

www.americanradiohistory.com Ten Years of Solid Achievement: The Flowering of Australian Rock

Of the 10 biggest domestic selling Australian albums of the past 20 years, at least four bear the imprint of a wholly inde- pendent, specialist Australian rock label) that is barely a dec- ade old. Mushroom Records has force -fed humble pie to a record in- dustry which has only recently abandoned a comatose shell of disinterest toward indigenous repertoire. Mushroom has set yardsticks of achievement and gained the absolute respect of competitors and comrades alike. Since inception late in 1972 as a tiny backyard, shoestring operation it has issued 106 albums, 212 singles and 5 mini LPs /maxi EPs. These releases have resulted in 53 top 40 sin- gles (15 top 10) and 31 top 40 albums (11 top 10). Two LPs have earned quad platinum (200,000 + units), one has triple platinum, two have double platinum, three single platinum one double gold, and 14 single gold. Four singles are gold (50,000 units), one is platinum, and one platinum plus gold. The label has signed and recorded 60 Australian acts. This array embraces superstar acts who have each recorded more than six albums (Skyhooks, Split Enz, Renee Geyer) and "ad- mirable attempts" which never got as far as an album (Marty Rose, Cheek, the Ritz, Geff Duff, Aliens, Mal Green Sound, X- Ray-Z, Millionaires, Stockley See Mason Band, Ray Brown, Michael Gudinski -a young, powerful and talented leader of Australian music.

"We don't have the financial pressures we once had but we still can't afford to spend $30,000 on a court case over a group's name like CBS, or spend $30,000 recording a Red Hot Peppers album with an imported producer and then drop the band before the record is even released, like EMI.

This latter problem kept Australian music out of world mar- kets and rendered it inferior to imported sounds.
