What was the First Australian Rock 'n' Roll Record?
Clinton Walker, Meanjin, 2006
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Extracted from the Meanjin Anthology, edited by Sally Heath and published by Melbourne University Press in 2012, after it was first published in Meanjin magazine in 2006 – when, I would contend, it was the first piece to seriously try and address this burning question.
