Atlantics -with Johnny Rebb On Vocals-
It's A Hard Life
A fab compilation of the legendary Australian '60s band The Atlantics!! The Atlantics formed around in 1961 by Theo Penglis (guitars), Peter Hood (drums), Bosco Bosanac (bass) and Eddy Matzenik (guitars). After a short time Jim Skiathitis joined The Atlantics on guitars and Eddy Matzenik left the band. Their classic and well known song is the instrumental 'Bombora,' released in 1963 for CBS. The Atlantics continued recording and releasing albums and singles until 1965 when they set up their own label, JRA Producions. Theo Penglis quit guitars and switched to organ, as well Johnny Rebb joined the band on vocals. Johnny Rebb was a legendary rock'n'roll vocalist in Australia back in the late '50s, a Gentleman of Rock'n'Roll!! During that time The Atlantics recorded the legendary JRA/Ramrod sessions. Rumble Skunk Records proudly presents this ab-fab compilation titled 'It's A Hard Life,' gathering 14 brilliant songs, including stuff from their hard to find 7"s! It's time for The Atlantics rolling, fuzzin', trembling and shakin' the world, the way it should have happened back in the mid to late '60s! The songs included on this compilation were transferred from The Atlantics' archives by Martin Cilia and licensed officially by Jim Skiathitis and Bosco Bosanac for Rumble Skunk Records!
