Warumpi Rock: Papunya Sessions 1982

"In essence, this early recording is the sound of us becoming a band." - Neil Murray, Warumpi Band Now in its second pressing featuring a unique colour splatter vinyl. Available in limited quantities. Cut live to two-track in a house in the band's home community of Papunya, some 240 km's northwest of Alice Springs (Mparntwe), the recording predates the Warumpis' seminal first single "Jailanguru Pakarnu" and captures the band well before their classic anthems "Black Fella White Fella" and "Island Home" were written. Indeed, just like the first Rolling Stones album it is all covers (Chuck Berry, Beatles, Bob Dylan, a few classic country tunes and of course the Stones) - the instrumental track from which the collection takes its name is the only original - but this is no set of ordinary covers. It's as rough as guts, but it's as lively a set of performances as you'll hear - a joyous flexing of young muscle, a spirited bash & pop.
