Very rare smart clean vinyl with a great cover.

Formed 1980 in a disheveled practice room in the middle of Wellington at the YWCA which would later be demolished, ex members of the infamous Rodents - mainly ex Onslow College teenagers vibed up by Soul, Funk, Rock & Roll, Blues, Jazz records recombined together in an alchemical variant, The Hulamen who were known for their vibrant, funky, energetic live show, which featured layers of scaffolding decorated with New Zealand themed motifs by Stephen McDougall (set design, promotion), painted backdrops by Debra Bustin (artist) and also added female dancers "The Hulettes". The shows became mini events drawing large crowds to pub bars to hear cover tunes and featured original music developed by the song writing talents of John McDougall, John Niland, Gerry Moran and Marian Spencer as the essential contributors. The combined talents of Andrew Clouston and Peter Famularo produced the trademark horn lines and signature sound.
