Equal Local were a short-lived Melbourne outfit from the fertile post-punk scene of the early '80s who left their mark with two 12" EPs on the Missing Link label and a live cassette of their last show on the Rash imprint. Prime members Dean Richards and Philip Jackson had previously been in Whirlywirld with Ollie Olsen, but were exiled to create their own noise.

Inspired by a love for Krautrock (especially Can and early Kraftwerk: they both served time behind the counter at the legendary Pipe Imports store) and various strains of jazz (from big-band to Mahavishnu and Carla Bley), they roped in partners and friends to create the unique tuneage of Equal Local. Playing shows with the likes of the Birthday Party, Tsk Tsk Tsk and their pals in Essendon Airport, the band were funky, minimal, challenging, danceable and totally instrumental.
Mixing the incredible electronics of member Robin Whittle (yes, the older brother of GOD's Matty Whittle) with a rhythmic drive and a jazzy swing, they'll also appeal to fans of Liquid Liquid and the downtown sounds of the early '80s.
Amazing Diversity 1980 - 1982 features both of their EPs, a previously unreleased studio track, previously unreleased/exclusive demos and a live cut from the Rash tape. The package/insert features photos and liner notes from Philip Jackson and Robin Whittle and an interview with Dean Richards.
Another crucial link in the Australian post-punk chain of the era reborn.
