This is an original Australian release by North 2 Alaskans of their first record ""Gonks Go Beat" on Green (LRS 746) in 1982. It can best be described as a 3 track EP but, to all intents & purposes, comes across as a single outing!
Sorry, not much is known about this band, apart from the fact that they had this record as their debut and then one other 45, "The Love Machine" on Missing Link (Miss 36) also in 1982. The band contained Spencer P. Jones, who was in many groups including The Johnnys, Beasts Of Bourbon, Paul Kelly & The Coloured Girl and Chris Bailey & The General Dog.
Comes in a greyish picture cardboard sleeve. Please see Photo Gallery for further detail, including writing credits and condition of record labels.
Both sides audibly graded as VG+.
"Crimson & Clover" is the old Tommy James & The Shondells' hit from 1968.
