Dragon were one of my favourite bands.
I had the pleasure of meeting Marc Hunter socially many times over the years.
I can still remember something he said back then... "when you call me at home, just ask for Fat Boy".
They were one of the most dynamic live Australian bands I ever had the good fortune to see perform on a regular basis.
This is their 1986 release Dreams Of Ordinary Men.
Once again, this is another deleted Australian title.
