Thanks Kev, for "Atomic Electric by Rebecca's Empire(?)" Anyone know
of or have the concert??

In the cover to Reds Sail, it states; 
LINES FROM "HARRISBURG TAKEN FROM THE BOOK "THE GREAT PRAWN WAR AND
OTHER STORIES " BY DENIS KEVANS c1983 USED WITH KIND PERMISSION.
So I don't think he sat with Jim to write it(??), but they are his
words, so worthy credit.

I never heard it, but it may be on a recording somewhere. They did a 
bit of Highway to Hell on a recording from hamburg too I think.

Many of these things now do a disc of covers accompanied by a disc of 
the originals - good to compare.

Question - anyone know who the guy is who wrote Harrisburg with Jim, 
Wilkins(?) is the name?? Anyone know who he is?

Cheers

Kev

Subject: RE: [powderworks] Oils aint Oils

I was going to do this years ago (was even going to use the same
name for
it!) but never managed to get around to it...

To add to your list:

Wipeout, from the Wanda Beach benefit show in the early 80's.
Advance Australia Fair, opened a few shows in 1998
Blackfella Whitefella - Warumpi Band
Dazed And Confused - Led Zeppelin
Kolele Mai - Timorese traditional?
No Man's Land - don't now if this counts as a cover, but the Oils
didn't
write it
The Redback On The Toilet Seat
Sweet Georgia Brown
Waltzing Matilda
