Once Australia's northern capital, Newcastle Waters became a ghost town

TOM ROBINSON
Listen To The Radio (Atmospherics)
1984 France 7” singleI gem of a 7” find today!
A great song which, up until about 3 years ago, didn’t know was by Tom Robinson.The band Pukka Orchestra did a pretty damn good cover of this song, and for the longest time, I thought it was THEIR song.
Nope.
Turned out it was originally written and recorded by Robinson, an artist I was very aware of due to Tom Robinson Band, and their absolute banger “Up Against The Wall” (a friggin killer song!).However, I had never heard Tom’s 1982 album North By Northwest, which is where THIS fantastic song comes from.
Couple of fun B-sides here as well.

"Don't take no for an answer" - Tom Robinson Band
Take a look at the folk lounging on the scenery in the wide shot - surely that's David Jensen, Esq.
Tom's in his school uniform, and the pink triangle of homosexual men (the rainbow flag wouldn't be invented for a few months).
The keyboardist rocks in furry gloves but boring jeans are a little off-mode.
Almost perfect punk: sharp, punchy, leaves us wanting more.

#TomRobinson still an amazing singer and song writer, sharing his stories, and belting out some updated #Protest #Antifa songs

#AdamPhilips providing guitar accompliment, and performed a couple of songs of his own work.

"Goin' places" - The Jacksons (and charts)
"2-4-6-8 motorway" - Tom Robinson
Tom wears the pink triangle badge, a symbol reclaimed by homosexual men from its abuse by the nazi regime. The rainbow flag 🏳️🌈 had not yet been invented.
Gilbert Baker designed the eight-stripe pennant, at the instigation of new SF mayor Harvey Milk; it first flew in june of [the following year].

Awww, Tom Robinson is a loveable Queer Elder on the 6 Music, he was just appreciating how far we've come as a society since he was a teenager "and you could go to PRISON for four years for loving the wrong sex"
How quickly it can all be taken away though....
