50. Prefab Heart by The Reels 1979




One night Little Murders supported the Reels at the Jump Club in Fitzroy/Collingwood. The dressing room for the Jump Club was the old kitchen. The only time I think it was ever used as such would have been at our record launch when we served the guests sandwiches. In those days record launches were usually free events advertising a new record.
Anyway when we came off stage Dave Mason the lead singer of Reels was sitting high on the counter with legs crossed ready to offer his opinion. “You guys should cover “you’re All Woman” by Sherbet.” Thank You!
I really like The Reels especially the songwriting of Dave Mason. This is one of my favourites starting with the title itself. Prefab heart. There was a slow version they released on KTel a few years later which was just as good as this version.
I saw the band whenever they came to Melbourne. Each time I saw them they seemed to have one less member. I thought they would disappear. Then they did.
