Fine album. One thing, though, is that the cover isn't from this album. The album is the Goldmine CD "Casino Classics" (GSCD 123) but the cover art is from the album that was released on the Casino Classics label in the late 70s which consisted largely, if I recall, of bad white pop records of the kind that were tailor-made for the Northern scene at the time.
yhea , this was a digital rip someone gave me , and I kinda figured that it wasn't the propper cover , but it's all I could find, thx for clearing that up , anychance you have a link to the actual coverart?
Alex, we're wandering around the same blogs :) Hooch I didn't go to this club, but I did used to go and see Doug Parkinson a lot around Sydney in the mid-to-late 70s, mostly at free concerts or supporting others , because I was underage so couldn't go to bars. The guy had a great soul voice, never got his best stuff recorded - was always after a hit single, doing cover versions. He performed with Renee Geyer sometimes. Strange to see him pop up in this context !

I know i'll probably get some stick for saying i prefer I'll Be Around by Doug Parkinson better than the spinners version.
Anyone know anything about this guy, other than the fact he's australian?
Thanks for the up doc.
