TONI McCANN- My Baby/No/Saturday Date

Here we have a reissue from Zenith Records (who run their own vinyl pressing plant in Melbourne) of three songs from Toni McCann's impossible to find first two singles, even this reissue is pretty rare now. The legend on the reverse of the sleeve states: "Our very own (child) queen of punk", and the wild garage beat sounds contained within live up to this.
Toni recorded these tracks when she was just fifteen years old, backed by Tony Worsley's band, The Fabulous Blue Jays, and they stand as the toughest female fronted tracks of '60s Australian beat, a match to anything on the wonderful Girls From the Garage compilations. There's a cool interview with Toni here.

Hi Tillotson,
yes I'm afraid this blogs been mothballed of late + a load of the divshare files stopped working. I am, fingers crossed, shortly getting a pre amp so I'll be able to reup the old files and hopefuly post some new ones too!
until then, thanks for stopping by,
chris
