Need something to motivate me this morning as I try and pack my studio up. Whispering Jack was a huge hit for John Farnham here in the mid 80s. Can’t say it’s my favourite album but it does contain You’re the Voice which became a bit of an anthem. Playing was prompted by the overnight death of its producer Glenn Wheatley.
First heard this early Brand X when a friend recorded it in two John Peel Sessions on Radio 1 in 1976. It was never released commercially at that time. My cassette tapes were long lost then it appeared on this CD in 1997! So glad to have it again 21 years later and in glorious stereo!!
