Johnny Dole & The Scabs recorded eight original songs at Sydney's ABC Studio 201 in July 1977. This session was produced and engineered by Keith Walker. Unfortunately these recordings were never released at the time but over time they have been made available on compilation albums, see below for information on all known releases.
Also released were live recordings of two more original songs which I have included even though the quality isn't all that good.
Trivia: During the A Current Affair interview just after Johnny says "That's all I do!" the band launches into a new original song called Hurts My Brain.
All songs were written by Terry Walsh and Peter Mullany except Blow My Nose which was written by Dave Berry and I Don't Wanna Work which was written by Terry Walsh, Peter Mullany, Dave Berry and Greg Morris.
