Beginning with the dawning of the Top 40 era in 1957, these podcasts will trace the development of Australian Music through three initial series; Charts, Singers and Groups. Whilst the first batch of podcasts will move forward from 1957, later work will have a reverse focus, exploring the rich and diverse world of Australian Music pre-Top 40 era.

Episode #101 tells the story of “Australian Artists in Japan”. From the Milesago website, I’ve discovered that the idea of Australian Artists recording in Japan emerged from a cultural exchange that began in conjunction with the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. As far as I can ascertain, three Australian artists recorded in Japan; Col Joye and The Joy Boys, Noeleen Batley and Little Pattie. I have a picture of Judy Stone in Japan but no record of any recording. Episode #101 is also my penultimate episode. The voice is obviously deteriorating which is almost certainly related to Parkinsons (meaning that it’s not going to get any better). Episode #102 will be something entirely different; coming soon! Enjoy episode #101!
