They did release a soundtrack to the Australian Film &#8220;Monkey Grip&#8221; credited to the band in 1982 before releasing this record in 1983. This is another record I bought after watching the video for &#8220;Boys In Town&#8221; on MTV back when they still played videos all day. The video was a live shot with lead singer Christine Amphlett  in her trademark schoolgirl uniform and fishnet stockings. I loved this song the first time I heard it and the album did not disappoint. Side one is absolutely wonderful with &#8220;Boys In Town &#8221; leading off followed by&#8221;Only Lonely&#8221;,&#8221;Science Fiction&#8221;,&#8221;Siren(Never Let You Go)&#8221;,and ends with &#8220;Elsie&#8221; a song about prostitution. Side two is not as good but does have the song &#8220;Ring Me Up&#8221; which can be heardv in the movie &#8220;16 Candles&#8221;. The side ends with &#8220;I&#8217;ll Make You Happy&#8221; a cover of a song by fellow Australian band The Easybeats. The Easybeats were a 60&#8217;s pop group led by George Young the older brother of Malcolm and Angus Young of AC\/Dc fame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the first official album from this Australian Band.
