So underrated, almost wore the cassette out, great memories. Still singing along at 60 in 2021.

Mark had a brilliant solo album "Land of the Living" I still love playing that who;e album. I briefly knew Mark when he took on some casual work in a bottle shop I was working at early mid 80's, hell of a nice guy.

single 'Sure Fire Thing' (May 1982) taken from the 1983 album 'Hitting The Wall'. Fantastic song. It reached No.43 on the Australian Top 100 and No.22 on the Melbourne 3XY charts. Stunning backing vocal arrangement. Singers movements on stage reminds me of a cross between James Reyne and Peter Garrett LOL. Check out Dragon's Marc Hunter intro'ing them on Countdown where we says "sura fia thing" ua-cam.com/video/cNUvfFfPNLc/v-deo.html
