1984 Shakin
1984 Shakin was where I really got the taste for Dear Enemy and the Venetians. Two of my favourite bands along with the Models and Mi-Sex. Unfortunetly I grew up in a rural town here in sunny Queensland where if it wasnt top 10 then the chances of getting certain albums wasnt easy but over the years I have been able to get my hands on most and more recently thanks to blogs like Ausrock, Mad Parade and Striped Sunlight I have been able to replace some of the no longer playable originals that I had. Alas I was not able to save the cover for this one so got a copy from good old Wikipedia.
