    very sad to confirm the news about Chris Bailey dying on the weekend. Chris and I met when we were about 14 during detention at Oxley High School and became close friends which later developed into what I always thought was an extremely strong artistic partnership, I couldn't have hoped for a better singer. My deepest condolences to his wife Elisabet, his sisters Margaret, Carol and Maureen and the rest of his family and loved ones. I'll post something longer down the track but for now..

    Vale Chris Bailey
    When I say that Chris Bailey is one of the most important people in our Australian Music History, that is a massive understatement.
    Today's news of his passing is like losing a family member.
    I'm shattered and devastated.
    Chris came into my life in 1976, when I was supposed to be doing school homework.
    Listening to Sydney's JJ 1540am radio ( thanks to the Gough Whitlam government ) I heard (I'm ) Stranded by THE SAINTS.
    IT STILL RANKS AS ONE OF THE BEST SOUNDS I'VE EVER HEARD IN MY 61 YEARS ON THE PLANET.
    Chris Bailey was extremely intelligent with an acidic wit, not many, if any, could match him.
    From reports I've heard, Chris was kind, warm, sincere and generous.
    A beautiful spirit gone way too young.
    I think he had a great time whilst he was here on Earth.
    Not many people can do what he did.
    He was a Punk Pioneer without even trying or even knowing that's what he was doing.
    Condolences to his family, friends, all his bandmates and his legions of fans and supporters.

    The energy never lets up from start to finish, everyone's red hot. I have the audio of this on the All Times Through Paradise box set, and bits of this clip were in the Radio Birdman documentary but the picture and sound weren't this clear. Don't know where Ed found this copy but happy that it's available so we can see what a force the Saints were at this point. (EDIT: just heard today of Chris Bailey's passing on 4/9. Godspeed Chris, you left behind a great body of music with the Saints and your solo career.)

    Immensely underrated and underappreciated band. Perhaps if they'd worn stereotypical "Punk" garb and engaged in the press-trolling tactics of that scene's better-known groups, The Saints would be more remembered today. Rest in peace, Chris -- thanks for the music.

    Yes this is really good.
    I remember buying the 1st lp on its French release ( was it late 76 ? Or 77 ?...)
    Anyway i really got into the first two records instantly.
    I saw the Saints live once, with a young lady, named Jeanine i think, playing the bass. 1980, near Toulouse, "Monkey Puzzle" album....Then later Chris Bailey elsewhere in France...
