A big thank you to Josef (Austria) for telling me about this here, his favorite Aussie band! I couldn't find the first volume one compilation if anyone has that or later albums we can begin the beguinne or collecting that is as this one too rich for my blood at this time. Enjoy! Here is Discogs: Australian post punk band, formed 1977 in Canberra before moving to Sydney in February 1979.
The line-up changed periodically, with songwriter and vocalist, David Studdert, as the mainstay. They released four studio albums, My Houdini (December 1980), Glebe (November 1981), Blue and White Future Whale (1986) and The Great Gusto (1990). Tactics disbanded late in 1989 and Studdert relocated to London. Since then, Tactics have played in Sydney (2006, 2008 and 2019). David Studdert has played periodically with ex-Tactics members in other projects.

Recommendations:
SUNNYBOYS - Same 1981
- Individuals 1982
- This is Real 2 cd comp.
w/ Singles, Live, Rare - Exc. Aussie band just as good as The Last.
TIMBERCREEK - Hellbound Highway Cal. 1975- In the style of GD - American Beauty
NRPS - Gypsy cowboy - a wonderful record by a country hippie band, but it doesn't help Timbercreek in 1975.

One question:
Do you have the ability to download a concert from Youtube, post in your blog, and have a friend of mine download it ?
My friends can't.

How long is it? The MP4/MP3 sites that convert free from YouTube link some get limited at 30 minutes or an hour. I can always search for more sites but for your information since I began here in 2008 I have used all freeware beyond ripping software- I always thought it should be free for education.
No longer necessary !
