Thanks to the original uploader
Recorded live at the Central Club, Melbourne, Australia, 03.13.84.
MA.A lists this as an album, but that does not seem right.
Does not say what format, and it is only 17 minutes long, making this an EP or mini-album.
A safer guess would be this was a live demo tape, but only someone that owns a copy could verify what it was, with a photo / scan.

This wasn't surely released on vinyl.
These 3 tracks were featured on more than a hour live caption.
The Van Halen cover is sung by Rick Giles (Black Jack singer) as guest.
I chatted with 1 of the guys of "Metal For Melbourne" (it used to be a Radio Show, a record shop and a Festival since mid-80's) and this doesn't exist on Australia. He never saw it and intrigued with this he will talk asap with the band about it...

This is from a cassette sold by Metal For Melbourne shop, Australia in the 80s. I have the original cassette still, but it sounds the same quality as the upload! Awesome forum...greetings from Oz!

can you post a photo or scan of your tape and cover?
is the cover art here the same as yours?

Will post a pic as soon as I find the tape.

Hmm ...my apologies, this is from an earlier gig Friday 13th JAN 84....sorry for the poor quality photo- I will try to extract audio from cassette in the near future. Item is as purchased (hand written track list, marker pen on the TDK cassette) from Greta @ Central Station (Metal For Melbourne) all those years ago...Cheers from Oz!
