#Interestingly “Friday on My Mind” was the first Aussie rock song to go truly global… It was written by George Young & Harry Vanda, who were both part of the group of recent teenage migrants who met at Sydney’s Villawood Migrant Hostel in 1964, and formed The Easybeats. #TheEasybeats #OneHitWondered

#TheEasybeats stonden eind 1966 2 weken op 1 in Nederland met 'Friday on my mind'. De Australiërs scoorden hun enige tophit. De song werd mee geschreven door George Young, de oudere broer van Malcolm en Angus Young van ACDC.

#Interestingly But the real story is one of Australia’s most successful songwriting & production teams… Harry Vanda & George Young (no relation), who’d earned US #OneHitWonder honors in 1967 as members of The EasyBeats. #TheEasybeats #JohnPaulYoung #Vanda&Young #OneHitWondered

You can probably tell what influenced this next track in my #MadeInChinaAlbum weekly intros!
Fell So Hard is the B-side to the third single off the album (She’s So Fine) and was chosen as the b-side to round out the 60s influences - #TheEasybeats (A-Side) and #TheBeatles (B-Side)!

Back to EP's for #WeekendSingles - I picked up this corker by #TheEasybeats from an Australian seller. Bonkers to think their first few singles never got a UK release, but the same could be said for plenty of great Aussie bands, sadly. #vinylsky #musicsky
