Loaded Dice
Cinnamon Girl (Neil Young) Recorded Live in Lyon
‘I went to England in ‘87 and travelled to Paris for the weekend and was looking in record shops and I found this record by this French band The Surrenders, produced by this guy who was in The Barracudas, who I liked a lot, so I bought it and it was so obscure it was like my own personal thing, and it was good! I took it upon myself to write to them and lo and behold they wrote back and said, "Oh yes, we’d love to come to Australia" and they really couldn’t speak much English, but they said, "Is there anyone in Australia who would put our record out?" and so I went into Au Go Go which was my normal record store of choice and said, hey, would you guys be interested in putting this out and they said, "Why don’t you do it, we don’t want to do it."‘In my usual stupid style as a youngster, I went oh, okay and assembled my group of friends and said, "Why don’t we do this, it’ll be huge we’ll sell all these records" and knowing absolutely nothing about the industry or how anything worked we pressed it with this company called Powderworks that went broke just as we were doing it and all the stupid things were happening, we got the covers printed and sat down and glued several hundred of them.
