The Right Way To Go
Reason To Be Living
A ambitious concept album using the cream of Australian musicians. A collectors item today. Re-released on CD as a 25th anniversary celebration. The album's science fiction theme tells the story of a visitor from another planet who tries to warn the earth of impending doom through the misuse of various sources of power. Jim wrote most of the music and all of the lyrics, assumed the role of Boy From The Stars and is the commentator on the action.

Ambition
Admirable, if not particularly adventurous, set containing several
energetic tunes in All Locked Up, Little Murders and Living Dead. Lucifer Street was released as a single, but without a band to aid in
promotion the single and the album sank without a trace.

Jim had these songs written, but had no record deal. By borrowing equipment
and friend's time he recorded them everywhere from lounge rooms to backyard
studios. Jim did the whole CD from conception to the completion .
His idea was to "flog them off at gigs". The finished product was so good that BMG Australia picked it up, re-designed the cover and released it to rave reviews, even being hailed as album of the year by one critic.
A few copies with the orignal (rare) cover have been found.
