When the death of Bon Scott ended AC/DC, few knew that he was a veteran of bands dating back to the 60's.
As a member of The Valentines, Bon's unusual vocals were touching on ballads, freak beat, psych pop & later bubble gum pop.
They were enormously successful in their home-country of Australia, until a rather embarassing drug-bust ended it all & they came to a halt in the mid 70s.
The nine tracks on 'Peculiar Hole in the Sky' bring together all four 7" singles released between 1967-1968, all on the Clarion label, also included are an outtake from those sessions, a cover of the Stax classic 'Sookie Sookie' and the definitive version of the Vanda/Young orchestral psych pop masterpiece 'Peculiar Hole in the Sky', which was actually written for them although the more familiar version is by the Easybeats.

Bon went on to a stint fronting Sydney blues band Fraternity with an ill fated tour of the UK being the last port of call prior to Bon's audition for AC/DC ...

He got the job.
