Radio Birdman
Title: Ritualism - Company: Crying Sun/Citadel (Australia)
Cat No: (csr001) - Format: cd album - Released: 1997 - Status: In print
The band's first offering on it's own label, this low budget but high quality live album was recorded in one afternoon during their reunification tour of 1996. They were invited to play to a small audience of contest winners at a studio in Melbourne, for the independent station 3RRR, which was given the broadcast rights to the performance. The band got triple-R t-shirts and a tape. The album was initially released mail order only, a limited number coming in a beautiful oversized booklet format.
The album is completely live, with no overdubs. There are two new Radio Birdman songs, previously unrecorded. It also contains an interesting and compelling version of TV Eye, with free jamming and unplanned segue into a few bars of Looking At You during the track...a song last played by Radio Birdman 20 years previously. The band was happy to have again offered a quality record directly to the people, minus industry involvement.
