Band Of Light, formed in October 1972 by Phil Key (vocalist and rhythm guitarist from legendary New Zealand band The La De Da s). Ian Rilen (later a key member of both Rose Tattoo and X) replaced Peter Roberts (also ex-La De Da s) on bass after just 3 gigs. Master slide guitarist Norm Roue (later to join Buffalo) and experienced drummer Tony Buettel (The Valentines) completed the line-up.
By the time the Total Union album appeared in August 1973, they were on a roll and it represented a definite peak in the band s career. Across the six tracks, the band s music is raucous and raw, yet simple and powerful, with Roue s unique slide explorations splashed liberally over the top
One of our most anticipated reissues yet, Total Union is digitally remastered with 5 bonus tracks. It is packaged in a 6 panel digi-pak, with rare photos and extensive liner notes from noted Australian Rock writer Ian McFarlane.
