Can’t Stop It! II: Australian Post-punk 1979-84 (Deluxe Edition)

The second instalment of Chapter Music’s acclaimed Australian post-punk compilation series ‘Can’t Stop It!’ is released on vinyl for the first time as a deluxe double album. The compilation was originally released on CD in 2007 and presents an incredible array of inventive and often previously unheard music from the period 1979-1984. Now Chapter Music updates the compilation with six never before reissued bonus tracks, plus new liner notes, photos and layout. This is a fantastically rich and dynamic time in Australian music history, a time when Australia stepped out of the shadows of overseas influence and asserted its own musical identity for perhaps the first time. ‘Can’t Stop It! II features tracks that have now become touchstones in Australia’s post-punk history, including ‘Lamborghini’ by Severed Heads and proto Oz-rap classic ‘Do the Job’ by Use No Hooks, plus early works by the likes of Dead Can Dance’s Lisa Gerrard and Hunters & Collecto
