{"title":"Coloured Balls Vinyl Records","description":"\u003cp\u003eColoured Balls is an Australian rock band that was formed in Melbourne in 1972. The band was founded by Lobby Loyde, a guitarist and songwriter who had previously been a member of the Purple Hearts and Wild Cherries. The original lineup included Loyde on guitar, Gary Dixon on vocals, John “Rabbit” Bundrick on keyboards, Bill Putt on bass, and Gil Matthews on drums.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe band released their first album, Ball Power, in 1973, which was followed by Heavy Metal Kid in 1974. The two albums featured a mix of hard rock and blues-influenced songs that established the band as one of the leading forces in the Australian hard rock scene. Ball Power also featured the classic song “Black Eyed Bruiser”, which has become a fan favorite.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe band’s third album, The Original Coloured Balls, was released in 1975 and featured a more blues-influenced sound. The album included the single “Good Times”, which has become one of the band’s signature songs. The album also featured the track “Evil”, which has become one of the most covered songs by other Australian bands.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition to their albums, Coloured Balls also released a number of singles, including “Rock Me Baby” and “Rock and Roll Lady”. The band disbanded in 1977, but reformed in 2012 and have since released a live album and a number of singles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn interesting fact about Coloured Balls is that they were the first Australian band to be featured on the BBC’s “Top of the Pops” in 1974. They performed their hit single “Good Times”, which was a huge success and helped to boost the band’s popularity in the UK.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"coloured-balls-ball-power-316416","title":"Coloured Balls – Ball Power (G+\/VG) – LP, AU 1973","description":"\n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: \u003c\/strong\u003e Second Hand\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShips from: \u003c\/strong\u003e Melbourne\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedia: \u003c\/strong\u003e Good Plus (G+)\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCover: \u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good (VG)\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n\n\n\n\u003cul class=\"tabs\"\u003e\n  \u003cli class=\"active\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRelease details\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTracklist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"tabs-content\"\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Description tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli class=\"active\"\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eBall Power is an LP by \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/coloured-balls-vinyl-records\"\u003eColoured Balls\u003c\/a\u003e from 1973 released on the EMI label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n    \u003ch2 class=\"product-about-heading\"\u003eAbout this album\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eBall Power is a landmark of early Australian hard rock, delivering Coloured Balls’ rough-edged swagger with a force that still feels uncompromising. Issued in 1973, the band’s debut captured the tough, streetwise sound that helped define the local pub-rock spirit before it fully took shape. Frontman Lobby Loyde drove the record with muscular guitar work and an unvarnished attitude, while songs such as Flash and Whole Lotta Shakin' show the group’s blend of blues-rooted riffing, punkish bite and good-time momentum. Long admired as one of the key Australian rock albums of its era, it remains a fierce statement of intent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\n    \u003c!-- Genres --\u003e\n    \n      \u003cp\u003eGenre: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pop-rock-vinyl-records\"\u003ePop \u0026amp;

Released in 1973, the album channels heavy riffs, blunt rhythm and a stripped-back, pub-bred energy that gave the band a fierce reputation onstage and on record. Built for impact rather than polish, it reflects the tougher edge of blues rock as it collided with hard rock at the time. Songs such as Going Down and G.O.D. helped cement the group’s cult status and made Summer Jam a touchstone for Australian rock fans seeking something louder and rougher than the mainstream.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\n    \u003c!-- Genres --\u003e\n    \n      \u003cp\u003eGenre: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pop-rock-vinyl-records\"\u003ePop \u0026amp; Rock\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\n    \n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Release tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/coloured-balls-vinyl-records\"\u003eColoured Balls\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/mushroom-records-record-label\"\u003eMushroom\u003c\/a\u003e – L-25,073\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n          \n          \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003e LP, Album\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnits: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vinyl-records-store-australia\/country_australia\"\u003eAustralia\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReleased: \u003c\/strong\u003e  \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/all\/year_1973\"\u003e1973\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pop-rock-vinyl-records\"\u003ePop \u0026amp; Rock\u003c\/a\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/blues-rock\"\u003eBlues Rock\u003c\/a\u003e, \n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/hard-rock\"\u003eHard Rock\u003c\/a\u003e\n          \n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Tracklist tab content --\u003e\n  \n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eHelp Me \/ Rock Me, Baby\u003cbr\u003eA2 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Coloured+Balls+Going+Down\"\u003eGoing Down\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB G.O.D.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Mushroom","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43563621318721,"sku":"4404330","price":250.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1474\/5258\/files\/OC00NjY3LmpwZWc.jpg?v=1783193759"},{"product_id":"coloured-balls-the-first-supper-last-or-scenes-we-didnt-get-to-see-362314","title":"Coloured Balls – \"The First Supper Last\", Or Scenes We Didn't Get To See (E\/VG+) – LP, AU 1976","description":"\n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: \u003c\/strong\u003e Second Hand\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShips from: \u003c\/strong\u003e Melbourne\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedia: \u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent (E)\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCover: \u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good Plus (VG+)\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComments: \u003c\/strong\u003e A few superficial hairlines to disc.
