Chapter Music Australia Vinyl & CDs

Review: Originally released in 2001 and now receiving its first ever vinyl pressing, Can't Stop It! is Chapter Music's landmark compilation of Australian 70s and 80s post-punk, documenting an integral and formative era in the outback's musical underground. Featuring contributions from lesser known acts who would harbour future members of Aussie alternative staples such as Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Einsturzende Neubauten, The Dirty Three and The Go-Betweens, this collection features artists who were either solely independent or who benefited from the foresight of in-the-know labels such as Au-Go-Go, M Squared, Missing Link and Innocent Records. Pinning Chapter Music to the post-punk map at the time of initial release, even garnering them a write-up in The Wire as part of their first taste of international recognition, this newly revitalised vinyl edition comes completely remastered, along with six never-before-reissued bonus tracks, as well as updated liner notes and photos.
