The only explanation to this question is very poor marketing from the record company. This album's got some sure hits (Runaway Girls and Daughters of the Northern Coast), strong pop-rock melodies and songs (Letter from Zimbabwe, Downhearted, Live now pay later). On the whole, it is a great album recorded in Hawaii (I gues they tried to enter the US market) and it failed. Can someone please explain to me why Australian Crawl never made it outside their home country?

First heard aussie crawl 20+ yrs ago, and the music then fitted the atmosphere of the time,the cd has brought back many happy memories, It may seem a bit dated to modern times but the rawness of Aussie Rock is still does it for me, get the tinnies chilled the sun block on and give it full volume and you are back on the whitsundays without a care

The first time I ever heard this I thought "What a load of mumbo-jumbo." Thankfully, I persevered with it, and after three or four listens I was happy with my discovery! Despite the eccentric pronunciations, this album has a terrific set of songs. The tempo and beat of the music is very enjoyable. My favourites are Runaway Girls, Shutdown, Midlife Crisis, Letter from Zimbabwe and Happy Song for Problem Children. Give this album a few listens and you'll get used to it. You won't be disappointed.

I was lucky enough to live "Downunder" when this came out and I just pulled the old LP out that followed me back home to the states and still sounds great. This is one that will grow on you. Was a big hit overseas. I forgot I had this Gem.
