Mark Gillespie's 1980 debut - a deluxe 2 CD presentation with 16 bonus tracks. The album, Only Human is rightly regarded as one of the best debuts ever released in this country and Gillespie as one of our best ever songwriters. We have been working on this release for some time and, as well as a few obstacles along the way, there have been some great discoveries - including a wealth of rare and unreleased material - so much in fact, that we have decided to make the release a double CD. CD1 is the Only Human album with the addition of a rare post LP 3-track single ('Deep As You' / 'Stronger Together' / 'Falling'). CD2: The early years 1977-1979 collects all of Mark's pre-album recordings: 2 tracks from the OZ records compilation Debutantes, the whole of the legendary Black Tape demos (including a lost track that only surfaced in 2009) and the 1979 single 'Comin' Back for More' / 'Alligator Music'. Gillespie is joined by some Australia's finest musicians including; Ross Hannaford (Daddy Cool), Joe Creighton (Black Sorrows, Tim Finn) and Mark Meyer (Stylus, Richard Clapton). The CD's, digitally remastered by Gil Matthews, are packaged in an 8 panel digi-pak, with a 28 page booklet with rare photos and liner notes by Ted Lethborg. Gillespie, from some recent correspondence, gives US some terrific insights with his hilarious, and sometimes controversial, remembrances - as well as track by track comments for the album.
