Proto Punk/Boogie/Blues/Progressive/Psych/50s Rock 'n Roll/Pop that still cannot be pigeonholed.

After LOBBY LOYDE had blazed a trail in THE PURPLE HEARTS, WILD CHERRIES, and THE AZTECS, he formed COLOURED BALLS and Aussie rock 'n roll has never been the same.

Recorded in late October/early November 1972, but not issued until May 1976. Shortly after it was recorded in 1972, their manager left their label, Havoc Records, and took COLOURED BALLS with him. He then secured them a deal with EMI Records who were offered the chance to release what became “The First Supper Last or Scenes We Didn't Get To See”. It was originally slated to be titled "Rock Your Arse Off!". EMI declined, saying the recordings were too raw and that there were too many different musical styles to market - which is, of course, two of COLOURED BALLS’ greatest strengths.

The album was finally released in May 1976 when Lobby signed a new solo record deal with Rainbird Records to issue his "Obsecration" album, the tapes for "First Supper Last" were also dusted off for release. They were also remixed. Sadly, Rainbird Records folded soon after it was issued, which is why clean original copies can fetch $400+.

This pressing sounds incredible. The original artwork has been fully restored too.
