Description
Cold Chisel announced that their legendary first live album, Swingshift, has been re-released on glorious 180g double vinyl. The LP comes to compete with original gatefold packaging and additional sleeve photos. This will also be the first time that the 4 additional tracks (“Juliet”, “Never Before”, “Ita” and "Merry-Go-Round") from the 2011 Collector’s Edition CD have been pressed on vinyl. Swingshift was Cold Chisel’s first #1 record and is often cited as one of the definitive Australian live albums. The recordings were captured in the winter of 1980 at two iconic venues - Sydney’s Capitol Theatre (supported by INXS and Mental As Anything) and Melbourne’s Palais Theatre (supported by Australian Crawl and Matt Finish) - as the band wrapped up their triumphant ‘Youth In Asia’ tour. That huge run of dates in support of their breakthrough album East involved 64 shows in 88 days and catapulted Cold Chisel to the biggest band in the land.
