Bad

Creator: "Bri Bri" Waldron
Date: About 1987

During the 80's, Op shops were filled with all sorts of vinyl. You could still uncover an old gem at a garage sale, in amongst old classical records, Sherbet records, kiddie records, etc. My friends and I had an emerging interest in really baaaad records.

There are some absolute classics of the bad genre, Mrs Miller is the pin up girl - really appalling operatic renditions of sixties hits (I recently saw her acting in a 60's movie called "The Cool Ones"). Emerging genres were "actors albums" but we had subcategories like "Australian soap stars albums" - Joe Hasham, Leonard Teale and the jewel in the crown "Seasons of Love" by Gerard Kennedy.

The challenge to find the worst music we could possibly find was on between Bri Bri, myself and Mark Smith amongst others. This tape arrived from Bri Bri in about 1987. It contains a selection of bad classics from the ill conceived "footy favourites" compilation, to Chad Morgan's tale of killing small animals with glee; from the wonderful Sir Robert Helpmann rendition of "Surfer Doll" to the utterly tasteless "Fist Fuckers" - it is a classic from go to whoa! The things people can do in the search of fame and money!
