    And of course tanks to GruntRat and D-generation on EON -FM Melbourne in the 80s for this song's notoriety!

  3. Personal Jesus wrote about Dark Tan ages ago, and even included scans of the rare press release/bio sheet that was sent out to the media. Great stuff! http://tcarsc.blogspot.com/2010/05/182-disco-lady.html

    The guy has heaps of rare Aussie and overseas music artefacts on his blog, but no downloads.
