The brilliant, brutal, and tragic song 'Sallie Anne', written about Sallie Anne Huckstep. Music video for this incredible song from vSpy vSpy. #vspyvspy #spyvspy #sallieanne #officialvideo
..... we recorded this at the Tivoli nightclub on George St Sydney and I remember watching the playback and thinking how bad we played that night. There were a few mistakes and shit like that. I look back now and think what in the fuck was I worried about? Ah, hindsight is 20-20 but we really felt strongly about Sallie Huckstep because she was alive one day.... about to testify to police corruption and then she was dead. Corruption killed her sure, but her misery began with drug addiction and there's the rub. Sydney was awash with heroin in those days, and I can personally testify to that problem. Recovery one day at a time. 💙💙💙
Thanks for the kudos everyone! We're lucky to have grown-up in the '80's because it was an incredible musical decade. And would you believe I'm playing my first gig in 17 years tonight? Richard Lara from the Screaming Jets and myself have put together a reggae band called SKATTERHEAD playing all '80's Australian music reggae style. We do Spys, Jets, Oils, Chisel, Divinyls, INXS etc. all REGGAE! It's fun & funny. Toronto Hotel NSW Christmas Eve our first gig ever. Wish us luck! Merry Christmas everyone!
I was one of the people that bought the really big black CDs of Spy Vs Spy. Sally Anne's song has always stuck with me. And when I looked into the history I feel for her. I wish I could go back in time and save her.
Incredible song x RIP Sally Anne....strong woman...always remember, corruption , dirty cops, they may have taken you, but you let the world know how any why.
Spy's were one of my favourite bands in a great era for Australian music, this is a ripper of a song. Back when music had grit, dark and seedy and beautiful all rolled into one classic... Great memories of listening to V.Spy v.Spy in my bedroom as a teenager.
Brilliant all Vs Spy v Spy should be on Bandcamp to purchase their music digitally as you cannot buy CDs/LPs of theirs anymore please!!!!! 138k views is more than proof.
