The Weeds - Pay It All Back (1985)

Dunedin supergroup The Weeds were Michael Morley (bass, vocals), Shayne Carter (guitar, vocals), Robert Scott (guitar, bass, vocals) and on drums, Jeff Harford, Chris Healey or John Collie. Sometimes they played in their underwear and in 1985 they released the raucous folk-blues ‘Wheatfields’ as a one-off single, flipped with a live take on Elvis Presley’s ‘Trouble’ on Flying Nun Records. Pay It All Back, a 13-song tape, was released in 1985 on Scott’s Every Secret Thing tape imprint, followed in 1986 by songs on three subsequent EST compilation tapes. An EP (‘Emily’, ‘Ivan’, ‘Heads Abound’, ‘In Your Talk’) was recorded with Ivan Purvis at Chippendale House in Dunedin in November 1985 but remains unreleased in that form.
