Loaded Dice were a hard-working power pop band that were touted as being the next big thing from Western Australia. The formed in 1974, and started out as covers band primarily playing 60's beat, but specialising in Beatles songs. After going through a few line-up changes and settling on Dick Haynes on bass, Marty Mather on guitar, Phillip Flanagan on guitar and Dave Eamus on drums, with all members providing vocals, they started to gather a large local fan base. Around 1979 they signed a record deal with WEA Records in Australia, and released their debut album 'No Sweat' later that year. A couple of singles were issued from it, but neither 'Telephone' nor 'Mam'selle' troubled the charts, and despite the fact that they had some very good songs and were able to make the crowd rock in their hometown, they found it harder to get the local crowds interested when they moved to Sydney. They gave it a good go, but after poor sales pushed their album into the bargain bins, they eventually disbanded and returned home. In 2008 a stash of out-takes and demos was discovered and released on Father And Son Recordings, and tucked away in there were quite a few tracks that could easily have appeared on their official album, so it was easy to extract them and compile what could have been their follow-up to 'No Sweat', appearing some time in 1979 or 1980.
