WIZARDS OF OZ: THE SAINTS!

WIZARDS OF OZ: THE SAINTS!

It’s day three of our Aussie video week and this is easily one of our favourites. THE SAINTS formed in Brisbane in 1974 but in the UK their debut single ‘(I’m) Stranded’ arrived seemingly out of nowhere in ’76 when Sounds magazine (rightly) pronounced it Single Of The Week.
Third single ‘This Perfect Day’ earned them a surprise appearance on Top Of The Pops the following year, but it’s the brassy ‘Know Your Product’ from second album Eternally Yours that we’re gonna plump for.
After three classic albums for EMI, guitarist Ed Kuepper split to form LAUGHING CLOWNS while bassist Algy Ward joined THE DAMNED before forming heavy rockers TANK, but charismatic frontman Chris Bailey has helmed a mellower yet still great Saints to this day. Read an interview with him in the new edition of the mag.
