Wow! Thanks for putting that track up Ian. My well-read copy of the Cold Chisel book ‘Showtime’ by Michael Lawrence lists this as track written by yourself and Don Walker on which the rest of the band played except Jim and that is was played briefly in the live set. Also a B-side of the Mr Rain single.
Did you record a new version for that B-side or was it this one?
Never heard the track before – first listen is fantastic. Can we buy it as download in the future?
Cheers,
Max

I love this song. I always thought it was called The Dummy recorded in 1980. I have it on a cdr but I can’t remember where it came from. Do you have more details about it?
I also have a version of Guilty (Randy Newman song) recorded by Cold Chisel in 1979 and sung by Ian with only piano and guitar. I copied it from a friend who has it on the New Zealand Shipping Steel single. What’s the story behind that? Can you remember it and is there any chance that the recording still exists? Unfortunatly it wasn’t on Teenage love.
This week I recieved the new single. I absolutely love it and I can’t wait for the new album.

Hi Ian, along time no speak, “Le Mannequin” I thought at first it was a Jimmy Hendrix number or similar. MMmmm not sure. It certainly does have a 70’s feel to it. In all honesty it has potential but needs modernising, that is if you were considering it. Interesting.
I am p….. off B….. Central Coast!… Belinda Neal and her side kick Bosca they make me physically sick. AHH the beauty of politics and the power it brings and of coarse lets see, lies and deception and how much can bully innocent people. It sure ain’t pretty.
ALBUM OUT NOW!
