Tracy Redhead - EP - Pre-Release copy (2003)

I have to admit I do love my endless trawls through the Op Shops of Perth in my endless quest for deleted and hard to find Australian music.   It's time for myself doing what I enjoy... preserving Australian music for the future.


Occasionally you come across some rare gems.


This pre-release copy of the first EP from performer Tracy Redhead and her band is one of those such gems.  


It is obvious that this copy was never for public release and I am almost sure that it was given away by Tracy Redhead to friends, etc.


I have to admit that I had never really heard much about Tracy Redhead before I found this CD in my local Op Shop. 

The following information is from the Tracy Redhead FaceBook page
