From 1981, and one-of-the-great-bands-that-never-quite-went-anywhere-but-should've. Pop Mechanix had international success potentially in their hands with great songwriting, a "now" sound for 1981, and a mercurial front man in Andrew Snoid (McLennan). But legal issues plus the usual old-school "lets sort Australia out first before going global" approach sapped the initial energy behind the band. This remastering of what is now one of the great New Zealand pop songs, plus what is a very good video for 1981 makes it a surprisingly contemporary-looking addition to the NZMusic4U blog-post inventory. I do feel for the eggs though...
