REPOST: Cold Chisel - You're 13, You're Beautiful And You're Mine (1978)

(Australian Band: 1974-83)

Cold Chisel's rare live recording recorded at the Regent Theatre in Sydney in 1977, and released in November 1978.

This five track 12" E.P was released during a low ebb in the Chisel's popularity resulting in a limited number of pressings reaching the record stores. Vinyl copies now fetch up to $200 on eBay. 

Highlight track is the Troggs cover track 'Wild Thing' with Jimmy Barnes burning his tonsils alongside Ian Moss who gives his axe a full work out. After a long period of unavailability, the EP was re-released as a bonus disk with the second pressing of the 1991 compilation album Chisel.

This rip was taken from a CD pressing in FLAC format and includes full album artwork for both vinyl and CD formats.

Track listing
1. One Long Day
2. Home And Broken Hearted
3. Merry-Go-Round
4. Mona And The Preacher
5. Wild Thing

Band Members:
Jimmy Barnes (vocals)
Ian Moss (Guitar, vocals)
Don Walker (Piano, Organ)
Phil Small (Bass)
Steve Prestwich (Drums)





Stop Press: When this EP was reissued back in 2011, I removed it from the blog, but as it has once again become unavailable, I am reposting this gem in glorious FLAC format.   This is my favourite live release by Cold Chisel and regret the day I stupidly sold my vinyl copy to another collector for a measley sum.
