The band's hot take on the Thirteenth Floor Elevators' "I've Got Levitation" is also featured. There's also plenty of tunes that were only ever captured on tape on this wild night, including "Human Crash", "Crush On You", "Head Off" and "Bully"!
Sydney's Lipstick Killers released just one single in their lifetime – the perfect ’79 pairing of “Hindu Gods of Love” and ”Shakedown USA”, released on both their own Lost in Space Records and Greg Shaw’s Voxx label. A posthumous live album and a couple of archival releases followed.
It was all put together a few years ago on Grown Up Wrong!'s 2CD set “Strange Flash!” And while the 2LP version of that release included all the studio stuff and the live in LA 1981 set, there was no room for this brain-burning, chaotic live set.
“Tour De Force - Live In Adelaide” will be released on September 12 in two limited edition vinyl editions - 300 in orange vinyl, and 300 in black. It is available to pre-order now at the links below. Also available - a 500 copies-only red vinyl edition of the 2LP set "Strange Flash: Studio & Live 1979-81"
