Axiom – Arkansas Grass
After signing with EMI’s Parlophone label, Axiom buried themselves in the recording studio. In December 1969 the group released their first single, “Arkansas Grass”, heavily influenced by The Band’s album ‘Music From Big Pink’. Though the title of the single superficially appealed to international markets, and its Civil War theme reflected Cadd’s current obsession with the music of The Band, it was in fact a coded anti-Vietnam war song – and in that respect addressing a very Australian concern, since Australian men were at the time being drafted to fight in that war. “Arkansas Grass” reached No. 7 in December 1969.

Zoot – It’s About Time
Zoot’s fourth single was released by EMI in October 1969, — the Brian Cadd/Don Mudie song “It’s About Time” – but Zoot apparently knew nothing about it until they saw it mentioned in the Go-Set “New Releases” column. EMI had pressed and released it without consulting the band, it caused a major issue as Zoot had expected to re-record its demo quality.
