Request: Pop Rock from Australia: Axiom - The Axiom Archive 1969-1971 (2004 Raven Records)




Quite simply, Axiom was an Australian supergroup whose time was far too short-lived, due to a number of personal circumstances and career mishaps. The band was fronted by future Little River Band lead singer Glenn Shorrock, whose early roots and development of a distinctive vocal style are


 prominently on display here in full throttle, along with a band whose sound could easily appeal to fans of Traffic, Blind Faith, and the Faces. Much of this stuff has remained out of print or hard to find since the advent of the compact disc, so Raven had the good sense to compile nearly their entire released legacy onto one disc.
 Their debut album, Fool's Gold, the follow-up, If Only, and a scattering of B-sides provide not only a thorough and definitive look at a band whose fame never fully came to fruition, but an excellent resource for fans of this style to discover yet another one of Australia's long-lost rock gems.

I have already posted the album on the old blog. Just great pop music from the late sixties, early seventies and absolutely recommendable. Enjoy.(Frank)

    There are only two songs from Axiom LPs that are not on The Axiom Archive, the Shel Talmy produced remakes of "Ford's Bridge" (reverting to its original name of "Georgia By Morning") and "Little Ray Of Sunshine". They are here along with the original album art for both the Fools Gold and If Only albums, and the tracklisting for both albums. A search of my hard drive turned up another Axiom song from the TV series GTK, a version of "Statue Of Liberty", a Glenn Shorrock song which was covered by his later bands Esperanto and Little River Band. @ 320 only, as that is how I downloaded them.

    I also found a Coca Cola commercial @ 128.
