Untitled

Local &/or General is the second studio album by Australian new wave rock band Models,[1] which peaked at #30 on the Australian albums chart.[2] It was released in October 1981 on Mushroom Records with Stephen Tayler producing.[3] Prior to flying to United Kingdom to record the album, Models had made some demo recordings, which proved successful enough to be released as an EP, Cut Lunch in June.[1] One track, "Man o' Action", from that EP was re-recorded for Local &/or General.[1] The album provided two singles, "Local and/or General" in November and "Unhappy" in 1982, neither peaked into the Australian Top 50 singles chart.[2]

Background

Models had formed in Melbourne in 1978 by members from Teenage Radio Stars and JAB, after some line-up changes they were Andrew Duffield on keyboards, Mark Ferrie on bass guitar, Janis Friedenfelds (aka Johnny Crash) on drums and percussion, and Sean Kelly on vocals and lead guitar.[1][3] Their first release in October 1979 was a give-away, shared single, "Early Morning Brain (It's Not Quite the Same as Sobriety)" backed with The Boys Next Door's "Scatterbrain".[1] Friction within the band led to their break-up in November, ex-The Easybeats members, Vanda & Young who were now record producers/songwriters asked Models to cut some demos - so they reformed at the end of December.[1]

Their second single, "Owe You Nothing" appeared in August 1980, both singles were released on independent labels[3] and did not chart on the Top 40 Australian singles chart according to the Kent Music Report.[2]

In November 1980, the Duffield, Ferrie, Friedenfelds and Kelly line-up released Models' first album, Alphabravocharliedeltaechofoxtrotgolf, on Mushroom Records.[3] It peaked at #43 on the Australian albums chart.[2] The album was well received by audiences on the live pub circuit. No singles were released commercially from the album, although "Two People Per km²" and "Uncontrollable Boy" were on a 12-inch disc released to radio stations,[1][3] and a music video was made for "Two People Per km²". The band performed extensively both locally and interstate, they supported Ramones and Midnight Oil on a national tour.[1]

Early in 1981, Friedenfelds was replaced on drums by Mark Hough (aka Buster Stiggs) from New Zealand band The Swingers.[3] In June, Models released a 10" album, Cut Lunch, which consisted of demo tracks produced by Tony Cohen and Models except "Atlantic Romantic" produced by Split Enz keyboard player Eddie Rayner and Models.[1][3] After recording Cut Lunch, Models travelled to United Kingdom to record, Local &/or General, with Steve Tayler producing.[1][3]
