hac93 PLUNDERERS: Banana Smoothie Honey (double CD)Originally released in 1992 on the Citadel label, Banana Smoothie Honey is a collection of all the 7 and 10 inches released by the Plunderers lineup of 1989-1992 Stevie Plunder (Whitlams), Nic Dalton (Sneeze, Lemonheads) and Geoff Milne (The Eastern Dark). The original Citadel Records release (which has been deleted since 1994) has been expanded to include a handful of songs the three-piece band released under other names (Hippy Dribble, Captain Denim) and one previously unreleased track - all highly produced by Rob Younger and the Plunderers. The nineteen songs have been split over two discs. The first disc contains all the a-sides, such as the power-pop gems Sarah's Not Falling In Love and Christo, and the b-sides, including the album highlight, the Stevie Plunder-penned Peggy, also Take A Ride and the 'should-have-been-a-huge-hit-but-they-released-it-under-a-silly-name' Cheerleader (which has been re-mixed especially for this compilation). The second disc has all the Plunderers' pyschedelic epics all linked up into one sprawling suite as originally planned by the band - five tracks totalling 37 minutes! |
