Reelin’ in the

Years Classic Album

AXIOM

Fool’s Gold

The term “supergroup” is one normally associ-ated with bands from overseas – Cream and Emerson, Lake & Palmer being good exam-ples. But in 1969 it was coined for a new Aus-tralian band – Axiom. Axiom evolved from the dissolution of two bands – both winners of Hoadley’s Battle of the Bands – The Twilights and The Groop. As win-ners, both bands were able to travel to England and record there. This gave key members an ambition to develop their craft. So Brian Cadd and Don Mudie from The Groop, joined Glenn Shorrock from the Twi-lights, Chris Stockley from Cam Pact, and Doug Lavery from the Valentines to form Axi-om. They had immediate success with Arkan-sas Grass and A Little Ray of Sunshine, fol-lowed by their debut album in 1970, Fool’s Gold. One of the first true “albums” in Australian mu-sic, Fool’s Gold contained songs that used Australian place names and the Australian landscape, even didgeridoo – quite revolution-ary! All the songs were of high quality and though self-produced, the production values were exceptional. Unfortunately, just as the album was released, Axiom returned to England to seek success so weren’t around to promote the album. This led to disappointing sales, despite its quality. Axi-om broke up soon after, leaving Fool’s Gold as a shining legacy to their superb musicianship.

THURSDAY MORNING ON THE RADIO

It started with a thought, an idea, a feeling

I was lying in the bath, staring at the ceiling

What is the meaning of life, why am I here ?

I need an answer, loud and clear !! Is it to chase another dollar or two ?

Will my inner voice tell me what to do ?

There’s lots of possibilities, (pause), I know !! I’ll be a presenter on City Park Radio !! Music soothes my inner soul and makes me Zen

Why not share it with Laun-ces-ten ?

Getting up before light each Thursday morning

When all you folks are asleep or yawning

With music that is bright and breezy

To start your day off nice and easy. It’s not a chore nor a task but a pleasure

To present the music that I truly treasure So start your day with a smile and listen live

To me every Thursday at 6 on 96.5 !! Howard Kaplan
