The Particles - Truth about you - YouTube
I first heard this song in Ashburton which is in the Eastern suburbs of Melbourne at the home of the Collette sisters. Kat the oldest was the girlfriend, and later wife of Steve Fusezi, the Little Murders bass player at the start of their long career. Steve joined us from a band called the Virgins who used to play at the Champion Hotel. I don't think the Virgins singer was very happy that we took their bass player and let me know in no uncertain terms. Actually todays date October 10 is the last date 30 years ago Steve played with us. I think he got sick of the whole Mod thing. The drummer Rod left at the same time. Maybe I was a little unbearable. It was sad to see them go.
Anyway I was the Collette's house. The radio was on. RRR. And this little song came on. I was in the living room and the radio was in the corner and I was standing there by myself and this wonderful little song was playing. I was now an inner city dweller so Ashburton and the suburbs seemed like another country. But this song was just perfect for where I was.
1981 was a good year for us at RRR. They used to have a singles chart based on record plays and we were on top for 6 weeks with She let's Me Know. At 3PBS we were number one for 4 weeks. RRR was always on wherever I went. I'd hear songs like this one and go out and buy the single. Sometimes I miss the radio.
