Info on The Reels

Apr 1st, 2008 by admin | 0

The Reels were one of Australia’s most respected pop bands of the ’80s. Formed in Dubbo in 1977, the band toured endlessly and also got plenty of media attention with their early singles, ‘Love will find a way’ and ‘Prefab heart’.Quasimodo’s Dream

In 1981, The Reels released the classic album, Quasimodo’s Dream, featuring the song of the same title that over two decades later, the Australian Performing Rights Association publicly declared as one of the greatest ten Australian songs of all time.

In 1982 The Reels set a real precedent. They recorded an album of well-known, non original love songs, muzak style aptly titled Beautiful. This album was released through the tele-marketing label K-Tel. Thus guaranteeing a vast amount of television advertising, automatic placement in all the major retail stores and consequently attaining huge sales. No other band with such credibility had ever done this.

The mid 80’s also saw The Reels topping the Australian charts with their very special renditions of classic tracks; Bacharach/Alpert ‘This guy’s in love with you’ and Creedence Clearwater Revivals ‘Bad moon rising’.
