More Information

Without question, one of the most ambitious projects of recent history; THE GREAT AUSTRALIAN SONGBOOK features selections from some of the best Australian recordings from Last Century (CD1) and This Century (CD2).

40 of Australia's finest recording artists have been invited to contribute handwritten lyrics, photos, sketches, paintings and memorabilia which is showcased as a beautifully presented double page spread for each artist in the book.

The iconic cover pays tribute to Sir Sidney Nolan's 'Ned Kelly' (1946). It is an original work by acclaimed Australian artist Rolf Harris and was commissioned specifically for The Great Australian Songbook.

This landmark set of recordings will bring great joy to many Australians both in Australia and around the world. It's a lovingly compiled celebration of our music.

Lovingly compiled and luxuriously presented in a hardcover book format, containing 2 CD's and all encased in a lift lid (chocoloate box style) box set. An undeniable treasure - this is a truly essential piece of Australian history.
