WOW! I can’t believe it I just found Wayne Campbell, the youngest member of the Gorilla road crew. Me & Al would turn up for a load in & Wayne would be riding his skateboard around the carpark waiting for us, in his school uniform!! Wagging school to come to a load in to learn the industry!!!. Not a lot to say but welcome back to the family mate!!!!!

Rock on Bro!!

The Mad Gorila Live 1984 , was a desk tape made for me , was converted to CD , by my son Daniel and his mate as a present for me ,It was Daniel that sent it on the web, though they used an earlier Tape and the sound was a bit rough i wish they had let me know i would have given them the better one , so i converted the good one myself and only i have a copy of it , i only made one copy and still poses both original tapes and the CD
