    I found a friend's old study notes, which were to do with 'Green bans.'
    These began life around 1971, when the NSW chapter of the BLF decided that the destruction of our natural heritage must stop.
    The notes spoke of a union leader named Jack Mundey.
    And after reading the notes, the first thing I wanted to do was listen to this great song. 🏢🏤🏦🏯

      @@castlemania08 I was able to help Laneway Music out with a remastered performance of Guns and Butter which I have just finished and passed on to them, so subscribe if you haven't already and look out for it in the future on this (laneway's) channel ! So all up, there was 3 performances that day 30 November 1986 - This one of the Spys, then Do Re Mi with Guns and Butter (in the rain), then Noiseworks with No Lies ( at night).
      As I mentioned, I have remastered the Noiseworks video with the link a few comments back (don't forget to check my channel out as well), I remastered this one of the Spy's and I have just remastered Do Re Mi's Guns and Butter which I have passed on to Laneway Music this week. So that will be all 3 performances remastered to 1920 x 1080 and all with new lossless audio tracks. Gotta love that ! And a thumbs up to Laneway Music for working with me to get high quality music videos up for the enjoyment of everyone. Usually rights holders are trying to have everything on my channel pulled down, so it's great to be working with people with the same goal.......top notch music videos for everyone to watch.
