THE LAUGHING CLOWNS "History of Rock N'Roll vol.1" (AUS, 1984)

reposted with a new link! as requested

While the third THE SAINTS album "Prehistoric Sounds" has already found the group aesthetics moved towards a bluesier, more soulful ground, guitarist EDMUND KUEPPER separates himself from puristic, narrowminded punk-rock plans, and forms THE LAUGHING CLOWNS, taking off the (embarrassed circa `79-`80) australian post punk status towards even artier, avant-jazz-blues-experimental horizons.
