About this Item

Countdown: The Wonder Years 1974-87. Numerous colour and b&w photographs throughout. Includes index. From inner front flap (in full): "Luscious lurex, sexy satin, glamorous glitter, flicks, flares and Yardley's Pot O' Gloss, Countdown was more than just a TV show. The first shows went to air in 1974 and went on to provide the soundtrack to the formative years of a generatiion until 1987. At six o'clock on Sunday evenings a hush would settle across this wide brown land as kids tuned into Skyhooks, Blondie, Madonna, ABBA, Dragon, Split Enz, Sherbet, Marcia Hines, John Paul Young, to name just a few of the hundreds of music artists that performed on Countdown. This wildly chaotic show was held together by a bumbling yet endearing Molly Meldrum, who entertained fans as much as the live music acts. Countdown: The Wonder Years 1974-87 will take Australian music fans through the glitter and tight pants of the seventies to the consumerism and cross-dressing of the eighties. Grab your platforms, your hair gel and get ready to roll". From rear cover: "Do yourself a favour and go behind the scenes of Australia's most influential music show. Here in one easy-play hit you'll find the gossip, the inside information on bands behaving badly, the on-air bloopers, the songs, the fans and the craziness of Molly Meldrum". First printing, with "1" as the lowest number in print number line on copyright page. Printed in China. Bound in publisher's pictorial wraps with foldover French flaps. Slight handling wear, light creasing to covers, otherwise a nice clean tight solid softcover copy. 152pp. Uncommon. SB-61.
