Unfortunately, this collects the small amount of stuff I could salvage from Tim's collection of Melbourne band cassettes. I tried my hardest with the Little Bands' cassettes but the cassette quality was just too poor. 

The Use No Hooks is their first performance in Sydney with the full 8(?) piece band and with Kathy wailing away at the front. They made a huge impression on us all. 

The Human Backs are a band I know nothing about. On the cassette label it says to contact Mal or Rowland (who I imagine is the Boys Next Door person). They sound quite like the Primitive Calculators.

The Incredibly Strange Creatures is in a similar vein but not played so well and seems to be a bit more 'jam' based than actual songs.
