“I said, hey, do you remember?”
James Reyne is dipping back into the Crawl File, hitting the road to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Australian Crawl’s first greatest hits collection.
Crawl File plays like a classic gig, opening with the band’s debut single, ‘Beautiful People’, and closing with their most popular live song, ‘The Boys Light Up’. In between are some of the most-loved Australian songs of all time, including ‘Reckless’, ‘Errol’, ‘Oh No Not You Again’, ‘Lakeside’, ‘Downhearted’ and ‘Things Don’t Seem’.
The wordplay is magical; the songs are unforgettable. What a sing-song dance, what a performance. Rah-rah, hey!
Crawl File was the biggest Australian best-of of 1984, hitting #2 on the charts (kept out of the top spot by the year’s biggest compilation, Choose 1985, which spent nine weeks at #1).
The best-of capped a bittersweet year for James Reyne and Australian Crawl. The band sponsored 1984’s Bells Beach Surf Classic, James won a Logie for Most Popular New Talent following his starring role in the hit mini-series Return To Eden, Australian Crawl won Most Popular Group at the Countdown Rock Awards, but then the band was rocked by the death of Guy McDonough, and a planned US tour was cancelled.
