Reckless...The saga of Australian Crawl. A chat with author Jeff Apter.

In this chat, the Radio Show speaks with author Jeff Apter about his extraordinary and revealing new book on the iconic Australian band, Australian Crawl. You'll hear how the boys lit up and met Neil Young in Hawaii, about lead-singer James Reyne's prickly relationship with the press, about how some considered them too privileged to be of worth, about jealous boyfriends of female fans, and how a group of handsome men gained respect before imploding amongst deaths and disagreements on song-writing credits...and how, early on, they had to repay their dole money after an appearance on Countdown. Out now, from Allen + Unwin.
