Comments and Reviews


Lee Wrecker 21st Sep 2016		Hi Mark, Some of the other Australian contributors will know more but my recollection is that Axis and MFP both existed as separate labels in Australia. Why, I don't know. These albums were widely available from supermarket chains in the 70's and 80's and both labels put a out a fair whack of good stuff as reconstituted greatest hits (The Most Of... series) or low rent repackaged albums. Mind you they did also deal in a mountain of crap but there was gold in them there supermarket racks...The Essential Beatles, Pink Floyd - Relics, John Lennon - Rock 'n' Roll and Imagine, The Most Of The Animals and Good Vibrations by the Beach Boys. So past the racks of Charley Pride (huge in Australia in the 70's - 80's) and tired old Johnny Cash retreads there was often treasure to be found.



Mark Taylor 21st Sep 2016		Sometimes I wonder if AXIS was meant from the start to be Aussie MFP in a way. You see, as Neil Forbes points out, a lot of albums came out on MFP in England and Axis in Australia. Also, many MFP titles came out in Australia firstly on MFP and then got transferred to Axis after the former drifted from EMI.



Record Collector 21st Sep 2015		I have the 1987 issue the best of John farnham



Neil Forbes 21st Sep 2015		Just a note, the title and artwork are sourced from EMI, UK which issues these albums on their MFP label, not all, mind you. EMI Australia sometimes comes up with their own compilations and creates the artwork for the covers, but quite a few Axis albums are sourced from British MFP releases.



Neil Forbes 21st Sep 2015		The year shown is the correct one, 1971, as this was only the third issue on the label. All the Axis issues of the early 1970s had an AXIS-6000-series catalogue number. The numbering changed in the early 1980s with the first redesign of the trademark and label. The Johnny Farnham LP cited by Jasper(on 18th Sept.) might more likely be AXIS-6001. So I had this album a couple times over. Bought new in 1971, then a copy given to me much later on(within the last few years).



Jasper 19th Sep 2015		Thanks for the added info Lee - I would go with 1972 as the release year, I wasn't aware of the box set but makes sense all similar timeline/genre.



Lee Wrecker 19th Sep 2015		This copy was given to me as a present (xmas early 1980's) and came in a box or cardboard sleeve with Mersey Beat or something similar as the title. From memory it included this album plus 4-5 other best ofs from the likes of The Swingin' Blue Jeans, The Searchers, The Hollies and Gerry & the Pacemakers and maybe another album but I'm not sure about that. It would have been pressed around that time but no-one seems to know precisely when. So Jasper this is why the date I entered is certainly wrong but it is however, the date of the original European release which has the same title and tracklisting. In absence of anything else at the time of entry I just decided to go with date. If anyone knows the date of release let me know and I'll have it corrected or just send in a correction and the mods will do it.



Record Collector 18th Sep 2015		All I know it ceased production in 1992



Jasper 18th Sep 2015		I was aware that AXIS started before 1974 - 1972 seems about right to me - I would be interested if someone has any information to the contrary.



Record Collector 18th Sep 2015		Interesting I thought axis started in 1974 and continued until 1991 they stopped issuing records around 1987 or so



Jasper 18th Sep 2015		Just wondering about the release date of 1971 - according to the Michael De Looper database listings - AXIS was an EMI budget label, commenced in 1972 - first release was Johnny Farnham Sings The Shows - cat no. AXIS 6000. Off course this could be incorrect. http://australianrecordlabels.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Selected-EMI-LPs-1953-1984.pdf
