Skyhooks the collection rar5/30/2023 ![]() In total they cover the years 1974 – 1977, of which it could rightly be argued, were the groups best years. The Cd has 14 tracks on it and all represent singles released as either A or B sides with ten tracks featured on the first three albums and the other four tracks being strictly singles releases only. The Skyhooks Tapes was the first compilation album released by the group, who had five studio albums between 19, two live albums and seven compilations including this Cd. It is dated 1977, but given Cd’s were not thought of until 1979, and the first release on a Cd was not until 1982, this is obviously the release date of the original album. The Cd is titled The Skyhooks Tapes and was released on the Aussie Mushroom label originally in 1977, but I am unsure of the release date of the Cd. The series was called, “Cream of The Crate (CD’s)”, and they represented CD albums that I believe weree of significant musical value, either because of their rarity, because they represent the best of a style or styles of music or because there is something unique about the group or the music. ![]() This was number forty five i n the series of retro-reviews of Cd albums in my collection as originally published in the Toorak Times. “The Skyhooks were one of the Australian music scene’s hidden treasures.” (D. “In the mid Seventies Skyhooks basically gave the Australian Music Industry the enema it had been needing.” (Peter Green- Skyhooks web site)
