Harry Vanda and George Young put Friday on our minds, triggered Easyfever with the Easybeats, and harnessed the raw energy and power of Aussie pub rock to make superstars of AC/DC, Rose Tattoo, and the Angels. The day Vanda and Young met at Sydney's Villawood Migrant Hostel has been called the most significant moment in Australian music history. What followed, as members of the Easybeats, producers and mentors for George's brothers' band AC/DC, and songwriters of a diverse range of hits from 'Friday on My Mind', 'She's So Fine', 'Yesterday's Hero' and 'Love is in the Air', has provided the soundtrack to the last 50 years. Featuring revelatory interviews with Vanda and Young and members AC/DC and the other chart-topping acts they worked with, this is the inspirational story of Australia's top songwriters, producers and starmakers.

John Tait

For sixteen years John Tait ran a record shop in Essendon. When things are quiet in the shop he researched and wrote a number of music related books; Vanda and Young, Captain Matchbox and beyond co-authored with Catherine Fleming and Tait's modern guide to Record Collecting.

On closing the shop, John has continued to buy and sell records at record fairs and markets, but in addition he has had the freedom to travel to exotic location on cruise ships, seek out record shops in foreign lands, and collect scraps of music trivia along the way. You can hear John testing out his trivia material on his radio program Mostly Vinyl.
