First time on cd for the long- awaited recordings of chad"s tree, the band that introduced the singer-songwriting brothers, mark and rob snarski to the australian public. The brothers are best known for their post-chad"s tree careers in the jackson code and the multi-aria-nominated blackeyed susans respectively. They also both sing with the remaining triffids, when that band stage their tribute concerts to the songs of dave mccomb. Crossing off the miles features both the buckle in the rail (1988) and kerosene (1989) albums, every single and b-side and 11 unheard early demos and live recordings. All audio has been remastered from the original master tapes. The release is housed in a smart gatefold wallet with a 32 page booklet stuffed with rare photos and exclusive liners notes from eight contributors including both rob and mark snarski. This is an essential purchase for the australian indie enthusiast.
