I ran the Perth indie record charts, from 1989 to 1991. Corruption! Manipulation! Propaganda!

An excuse to get Perth bands into a published record chart, so they’d get some publicity and could use it in their marketing. And to propagandise Australian indie to the masses. Includes THE HITS OF 1989!
