6 singles released in 1976.
Each record, in its own way, served as a starting point for the punk movement.
Do you have—or did you have—any of these on your shelf?

The Galaxy, the Girl, and the 50-Year Echo from the 70s
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away... They say you never forget your first—your first job, your first date, or the first time you saw a Star Destroyer fill a cinema screen. For me, the summer of 1977 was the perfect storm of all three. I was a pool boy at the El Morro Motel in Wildwood, New Jersey. It was my first real gig, spent under the relentless Jersey sun, skimming leaves and smelling of chlorine. But that July, the air felt different. That was the week I met a girl from […]https://phicklephilly.wordpress.com/2026/05/04/the-galaxy-the-girl-and-the-50-year-echo/

"Thursday will mark 50 years since Franco's death. Spain has since seen a revolution in women's rights - but survivors of the Patronato are still waiting for answers and are now demanding an inquiry."

Today marks the 50th anniversary of The Dismissal, where the Governor General (the Queen’s representative in Australia), Sir John Kerr, exercised the little known Reserve Powers to sack the democratically elected government of Gough Whitlam.
Whitlam’s Government is now more broadly remembered by the general population for its long list of reforms over the three years they were in government more than the manner of its ending. Those reforms rocketed Australia from a particularly sleepy and inward looking nation in the 1950s and 1960s toward a more outward looking and progressive nation in the 1970s.
I have tooted and retooted numerous articles about The Dismissal in the last week, so I will not be discussing all the details again.
Instead, I will keep it really simple.
What will people be thinking of the Albanese Government in 50 years from now? A government with an absolutely stonking majority, an almost certain third term and no effective opposition other than a rag tag bunch of independents.
I posit that the Albanese Government will likely be remembered as a government that pissed a great opportunity up against the wall, a government that was too scared of its own reflection to make any meaningful change. A government that purported to be progressive and reformist while doing none of those things. A government with tremendous opportunity to make meaningful and lasting change that addressed systemic problems which are holding Australia back. And a government that squibbed its responsibility to the future.
I won’t be around in 50 years … so I won’t be able to reflect back on the Albanese Government. But I ask you to think about this:
What would Whitlam have achieved with a majority half the size of the majority held by the Albanese Government and with a near certainty of a third term from the outset of their second term?

With the 50th anniversary of The Dismissal tomorrow, the article below is an interesting read that goes through a list of who would benefit from the removal of a democratically elected Whitlam Government while noting some of Whitlam’s personal strengths and short comings.
Worth a read.
——-
Quote:In the case of the US, it took Whitlam no time at all to enrage both US President Richard Nixon and his National Security Adviser, Henry Kissinger with a letter criticising the bombing of North Vietnam at Christmas in 1972. While other nations’ leaders were equally critical, it was Whitlam’s style that aroused in the recipients a uniquely high level of fury. As Kissinger made clear, it was Whitlam’s air of moral superiority and placing the US “on the same level as our enemy” that caused the outrage. Kissinger reported that Nixon was also particularly exercised by “Australia treating the US on a par with other foreign countries”.

Below is a link to part two of John Menadue’s reflections on The Dismissal of the Whitlam Government on 11 November 1975 and worth a read.
——-
Quote:One reason why the loans affair became such a political issue was that senior officers in Treasury leaked continually to the Opposition and the media about the loan raising. Treasury had chummy relations with companies like Morgan Stanley and didn’t want to upset such relationships. They also believed, genuinely, that the loan raising was bad policy. They were right on that, but by then Whitlam had stopped listening to them.

The interview with John Menadue (Head of the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet when Whitlam was sacked by John Kerr) is long but a very interesting read.
Menadue is probably the only remaining significant figure on the inside of the Whitlam Government still alive (Keating was promoted from the back bench to a junior minister position a few weeks before the Dismissal and would have his own views).
There is a fair bit of contrasting Whitlam versus Albanese included. I am left with the feeling that Whitlam is the better of the two and would have done a lot more if he had the stonking majority that Albanese has.
——-
Quote:Whitlam’s reservations about the American alliance were firming but he was conscious of the politics: of being wedged by conservatives on the issue. What concerned him towards the end was when he found out that Pine Gap was not run by the Pentagon, but by the CIA. That produced quite an outraged response because Whitlam had been deceived for three years into believing it was run by the Pentagon and not by the CIA. That became an issue in the subsequent election and in the American response. I’ve got no doubt that the CIA was directly involved in the dismissal of the Whitlam Government. I had assumed and known they were standing in the background, and I’ve subsequently learned they were very much in the foreground.

The attached article is written by John Menadue, who was the head of The Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet at the time of The Dismissal of the Whitlam Government on 11Novemer 1975, 50 years ago next week.
It makes a very interesting read from an insider’s perspective of what went on leading up to and on the day of The Dismissal and is worth a read.
