And there it was. Denizens of this site (barflies) may remember a beaty little Sydney band called The Professors. Vocalist Steve Vineberg recently excavated some thundering Ramones inspired ditties and pressed them on to vinyl.

I remember going round to The Professors’ Surry Hills abode and witnessing the whole crew creating a ramshackle recording studio making use of the lavatory as a makeshift vocal booth. Apparently it had natural echo. I was greatly amazed by such technical wonderment way beyond the brain cells of my young punk self. These men were gods, existing on a higher plane beyond my base metal.

And now emerges this further wonder, from Tascam four-track cassette to your heart. A true representation of the time, credited to "Members of the Professors", the boys deliver a sterling Eddie and the Hot Rods-inspired track available for download.

If you don't buy it (cheap at twice the price), you should at least give it a listen. I grant it all the martinis for a rating.
