Notes:
A promotional LP for the launch of Trans Australian Airlines (TAA) Airbus aircraft. Released July 1981. My copy has a radio 3AK sticker on the front. The airline has long since been subsumed into QANTAS. There are no Australian artists on the LP, which begs the question – WHY?
Dutch giant Phillips was initially behind the Australian operations, ramping up their local content from the mid sixties. Their Polydor label was used for an early compilation – Sample Bag – in late 1970, but it was the 1975 Ripper album – Fontana – that got the ball rolling. Once the Universal Music group was formed subsequent releases were made through the Polystar imprint.
