Been Away Too Long - recorded in 1969

Check out this brand new album by Max Merritt & The Meteors - Been Away Too Long -recorded in 1969.

Recorded in Melbourne in late 1969 this long forgotten live performance from one of New Zealand's most important and pioneering rock & roll and R&B bands finally gets to see the light of day 43 years after the band took to the stage.

Digitally remastered for the modern age but preserved and presented exactly as the songs were recorded on the night, the energy and atmosphere captured on these old tapes makes it easy to transport yourself back in time and imagine how it would have felt to be in the room with these legends in the making.

Concert for Max 3 DVD Set

On 21 October 2007 a benefit concert was staged in Melbourne for Oz Rock Legend MAX MERRITT who had fallen on hard times after suffering a rare auto immune disorder.

Since early November 2007 our Vision Director, Luke Raisbeck, has been editing the Concert For Max video and Sound Engineer Ernie Rose has re-mixed the audio into 5.1 surround sound and we now have a DVD that is truly an Australian Rock ‘n Roll triumph.

The concert featured 25 Australian Recording Artists, over 50 Musicians and more than 70 Crew and together they delivered 35 All Time Favorite Hits in one magical concert.
With such an extensive number of performers the Concert For Max was presented with two intermissions thereby splitting the show into three acts so the DVD has been edited and packaged into a three disc set.

The list of Artists are, in order of appearance:
SPECTRUM, KEVIN BORICH, DINAH LEE, WENDY STAPLETON, JOHN ‘SWANEE’ SWAN, BRIAN MANNIX, PAUL NORTON, DOUG PARKINSON, NORMIE ROWE, MARCIE & THE COOKIES, GEORGE SMILOVICI, THE DELLTONES, WILBUR WILDE, MICHAEL CHRISTIAN, RUSSELL MORRIS, JAMES REYNE, DARYL BRAITHWAITE, VANESSA AMOROSI, JOE CAMILLERI & BLACK SORROWS, PETER CUPPLES, JON ENGLISH, MIKE BRADY, ROSS WILSON, RENEE GEYER and JOHN PAUL YOUNG

In addition, we intend to include two other ‘Features’ as extras for the package. 
1) Recorded messages of support for Max from Michael Chugg, Mark Holden, Jimmy Keays, Gerry Marsden and Glenn Shorrock. 
2) Beautifully edited photographic ‘fly-on-the-wall’ stills taken by Allen Moore from the start of sound checks through to the after party. 

The concert reviews were stunning including "The best benefit ever .... "  and "Out performed the Long Way To The Top"
