Glenn Shorrock: “It wasn’t all bells and whistles or whatever. It didn’t go down well with me, I didn’t want to leave really, I just wanted to relax. We’d had some tremendous success in America and made money, we’d never seen those figures before. I just thought, ‘Let’s stop and regroup and recharge the batteries’. But no, they didn’t want that, they had John Farnham [by then]. I just thought, ‘What?’ My commitment to the band full time was wearing a bit thin, and they probably sensed that, but I didn’t expect to be replaced let’s put it that way. But s**t happens! Really, the guys that decided that, none of them are working now or playing still. I’m the only one that’s still going … they made a mistake. I’ve known [John Farnham] since I was 16, we go way, way back. I’ve got a lot of great respect for John. He was embarrassed I think a bit, but it didn’t work out for him at all. He didn’t gel and the chemistry wasn’t the same. He left after a few years and they asked me back in again!”

Beeb Birtles: “This was the last lineup I was in. We may be smiling but I wasn’t very happy towards the end.”
