Number 90 - Machine Gun Fellatio - Paging Mr. Strike (2002) - Best Australian albums of the 80's-NOW!

Concluding around Anzac Day, here is another in my series Best Australian albums of the 80's-NOW!

Leaving the 90's its Paging Mr. Strike the second studio album by Machine Gun Fellatio. 

The album was released on 26 August 2002, debuting at No.6 on the Australian Album Chart. The record spent a total of 27 weeks in the top 50, whilst being certified platinum.

It was re-issued on 7 March 2003 under the title 2nd Page for Mr. Strike, which included an extra disc with eight new tracks.

It was also released in the UK in 2003 by Doublethink Recordings, with a new track order and several tracks replaced by ones from the band's debut album, Bring It On!, which was never released internationally.

It's really hard to forget such epic hits as Pussy Town and Rollercoaster. What a record, what a way to get ready for the week. Hopefully we'll check in with some of the records that made it into the top 80, Best Australian albums of the 80's-NOW! You can view part one of the list HERE
