Editorial Reviews

1927 was also a very good band. In 1989 their debut album .ISH sold over half a million copies. That was 20 years ago. Albert Music now hold the rights to this album. The 20th Anniversaryedition of the album is, re mastered, enhanced with some video content and sleeve notes and photos in an event package. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars 1927 (The top! Australian Band of the last 20years), August 30, 2002

Hi to all who read this.
If you from outside Australia you have probably never heard of 1927. They formed in the late 80's and "Ish" was their first of three studio albums.
It is probably the most accesable of the three but "The Other Side" and "1927" (self titled) are still very good (4 stars).
This album is full of easy listening pop type songs with catchy tunes that you will not forget in a hurry.Probably not an album for a teenager of today but for people in their 20's - 40's it is a must hear.
The album opens with the stirring track "To Love Me" followed by the two monster Aussie hits "That's when I think of you" and "If I could". Other memorable songs include the anti war song "Compulsory Hero" and the very catch "All the People".
Eric Weideman the lead singer has a voice unlike many other singers, it is a rich mature sound with a raw edge which suites ballads through to the heavier sound found on the third self titled album.
I CHALLENGE ANY OF YOU WHO BUY THIS ALBUM NOT TO BECOME HOOKED!
Please enjoy.........

5.0 out of 5 stars Did You Know?, February 10, 2002

Just for those who wrote as I have not seen it written in any of the reviews. 1927 has the same songwriter as the Band Moving Pictures which is highly regarded by some U.S. residents. If those who wrote have not checked it out go to the Moving Pictures reviews.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the '80s best albums, November 27, 1999

I feel that this is the best of the 1927 albums. The lyrics are incredible, and the music is an enjoyable mix of classic late 80s sound and also very moving piano and guitar complements. Definately one of the best albums to ever come out of Australia (and there have been many).
