Pop Heads Ep1 Down Under in the 80s  -  1980

Down Under in the 80s Episode 3 starts with a hit for Dolly Parton.

Wait, What?

Yes, before Dolly released her hit version in 1983, our DOUG PARKINSON sang his gender change version that was, well... not such a hit in '82 but still great. First track is Doug's Potential New Girlfriend.

Roddy stacks the vinyl in this episode with Little Heroes, Divinyls. Do Re Me, Split Enz, LRB, and of course, Richard Clapton.

Jo Jo Zep, Goanna and Rose Tattoo wrap up Ep 3  that is full of hits and misses, tops and flops and the Best of the Rest.
