Riptides
Original 1st Press OZ LP released in 1983 on Regular Records. Cat: RRLP1207.
This batch of records came from a collection bought recently from an ex Festival records employee. All are in stunning condition many of them probably only played once or twice at most.
Formed in Brisbane, Australia in 1979, the Riptides became a cult band along the coast with surf audiences, eventually arriving in Sydney where they became the ‘next big thing’. The initial line-up comprised Mark Callaghan (vocals), Dennis Cantwell (drums), Scott Matheson (guitar, replaced in 1981 by Michael Hiron) and Andrew Leitch (keyboards/guitar). Their melodies and pop songs were gems, but somehow the band failed to take the next step to the top rung and, by 1983, had split up after several line-up changes. Main songwriter Mark Callaghan later formed GANGgajang in 1984.
Tracks: Tomorrow’s tears/ Only time/ Money for life/ Riptide/ Shake it/ Mona Lisa/ Hearts and flowers/ Day has gone/ No regrets/ Tombs of gold/ The wedding song.
