Latest in series of reissues of legendary Sydney band - led by Radio Birdman guitarist Chris Masuak, and Birdman cohort Johnny Kannis. The band also was where the Hoodoo Gurus recruited Brad Shepherd and Mark Kingsmill from; by this time though, Brad was gone. Mark does appear on this album though; and what an album it is, perhaps the definitive recording. 'Tora Tora DTK' was the band's swansong live album, recorded in 1984 during what was their farewell tour at the time. Includes all their classic tracks, like 'Didn't Tell The Man' and 'I Don't Mind' and their killer covers of the 'Shake Some Action' and 'Solid As A Rock' .

Expanded to double disc, 'Tora Tora' now includes 6 more tracks from the same shows, including stage favourites 'Suspicious Minds', 'Search & Destroy' and 'Louie Louie'. The second disc includes the band's '91 comeback album 'Moronic Inferno' in its entirity (featurin Deniz Tek), plus outtakes, plus the earlier 'E.U.L.A' EP, plus Chris Klondike Masuak's 'Cowboy Angel' mini-lp all as a bonus. That's 45 tracks of great Sydney rock'n'roll for ya!.
