Considered One Hit Wonders, thanks to their huge 2nd single release: 'Don't fall in love', Aussie band The Ferrets did make something of a splash in 1977/78. Reaching #2 nationally, the success led to the band recording a debut album, but it took way too long to produce and although eventually went gold, the group struggled to follow it up.

'Janie May' with its Beatle-esque vibe, was a minor hit towards the end of 1977, and was featured on the RCA Compilation 'Ripsnorter' which included several big hits and some misses too! The art work is shown in this clip. The version i have posted is the longer album edition of the song - nearly a minute extra running time. Enjoy this little Oz rarity.
