Recorded for the Japanese label Baystate and long unavailable outside of the Asian market, remains one of 's most obscure sessions, but admirers of the trumpeter's early-'80s return to his musical roots will find much to appreciate here. Backed by pianist, drummer, bassist, and tenorist, maintains a serene, feather-light approach across the set, often muting his trumpet to further bolster the mellow groove - his solos float with the beauty and elegance of monarch butterflies, soaring in and out of standards like the opening 'When You Wish Upon a Star' and 'Embraceable You.'
Rose Tattoo was formed in Sydney in 1976 with Leigh Johnston on rhythm guitar, Tony Lake on lead vocals and were led by slide guitarist Peter Wells—who had just departed as bass guitarist of heavy metal band Buffalo. Drummer Michael Vandersluys completed the line-up. Ian Rilen from Band of Light joined on bass guitar.
He had taught himself to play while in prison and gave Wells' band the street-cred he was looking for. Rhythm guitarist Mick Cocks soon replaced Johnston; Lake and Vandersluys were substituted by former Buster Brown members Angry Anderson and Dallas 'Digger' Royall respectively. Melbourne-based Buster Brown had enjoyed local notoriety, playing at the 1974 Sunbury Festival and had included future AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd. Rose Tattoo made their public debut on New Year's Eve at the rock club Chequers. Chiefly inspired by The Rolling Stones, Faces and Billy Thorpe and his 1970s Aztecs, Rose Tattoo's hard-rocking sound quickly earned a devoted following in the Sydney area.
Members of AC/DC were fans and recommended them to their label, Albert Productions. Their career simply took off from here. Rose Tattoo In The Media When it came to the press, Rose Tattoo always made good copy, so writers were never short of fodder. Although he was living the wildest lifestyle, Angry had a social conscience even then. When rock writers came to talk to him, they'd ask him about the band, and he'd start talking to them about homelessness or street kids. Writers weren't interested, and it was a hard lesson for him to learn. 'After a few months of being newsworthy, magazines wanted to talk to us and photograph us, and you know, I was doing endless interviews,' says Angry.
'There's only so much you can say about the band, and then you've got to talk about other things. But basically, rock journos just want you to tell them that over the last month you were with so many women, took so many drugs, drank so much alcohol etc. In other words, they want you to be what they think you are. When I first started doing interviews, you know I loved the attention, but some of the best interviews I've ever done were cut down to about two paragraphs, and none of the issues were ever raised.' For writers, Rose Tattoo was the copy.
Angry Anderson was the news. No one was interested in what he had to say about it. In the Rose Tattoo years, stories about Angry grew and grew. As he says, if he'd done only half the things of which he was accused, he'd have been a monster. At one time, a newspaper reported that he'd been charged with carnal knowledge, which simply wasn't true.
The newspaper did print a retraction many months later, but it was hidden toward the back pages. It hardly made up for the headline which basically screamed that Angry Anderson had taken sexual advantage of a fourteen-year-old girl.
Many articles also talked about Angry as a person who'd spent long periods of time in prison, when in fact Angry s only experiences in prison cells were for eight or twelve hour spells, usually for being drunk and disorderly. There was one night in Perth where Angry was arrested for using offensive language on stage, and another time in Kempsey where he was arrested for assault, but he was never the longtime ex-crim that people talked about. As Angry says, 'The things I'm supposed to have done are unbelievable. I could have been locked up for most of them. You know, people come up and still say 'I heard this about you', or 'I heard that about you', and you say 'No, that didn't happen'.
They just look at you. They want to believe it, but they look at you and they're saying, 'I know you did you bastard.' Even though you're saying no, they're saying they know you did. It's damned if you do, and damned if you don't.' Angry copped most of the flak without too much complaint, but he did get frustrated with the stereotypes.
He didn't mind so much if someone met him, talked to him, and then decided he was a jerk, but he hated the articles that summed him up unfairly. Some writers would analyse him without ever meeting him, and others would arrive at the interview with such a definite preconceived idea of who Angry was, and of what he was about, that they may just as well have not turned up at all. It was all part of being a rock and roller.

There were just so many critics who weren't comfortable with Angry because he broke the mould. At one stage, a Juke Magazine article basically admitted the press was selling Angry short. The writer made what almost amounted to an apology: 'The fifteen minutes allocated for the interview extended to a three hour yap session about everything from science and philosophy to the latest in porno movies. I left impressed with his courtesy and general knowledge, and somewhat sheepish that I'd dismissed him as a moronic jerk, simply for the way he looked.' Years later, when Angry s profile was big enough to earn him a complete feature article in Playboy magazine, the senior contributing editor Phil Jarratt made a similar observation. 'There is no subject on which he will not offer a mouthful, and the work of the interviewer was essentially to keep him to one subject at a time.
Although he looks like a midget wrestler, Angry is in fact a sensitive performer, a deep thinker, and a philosopher. extract from Angry: Scarred For Life, by Karen Dewey. Ironbark Books, 1994.

They originally formed a year ago as an underground punk band: Australia's answer to the likes of Johnny Rotten and The Sex Pistols. 'We thought it was highly unlikely that we'd get anywhere but it was possible that we might' said Angry. 'We just wanted to sing punk songs and have a nasty image'.

But something went wrong'. Bad Boy, a single the band recorded, suddenly sprung up the charts. Rose tattoo became something it neither wanted nor expected - a well-known band.

'And we dig dropping clangers on stage and getting kicked out for playing too loud'. Angry is glad that Rose tattoo was the first punk rock band to make it big in Australia but doesn't think the musicians look all that unusual. 'You see more extravagant punks on the streets. There are a lot of sharp-looking guys around.'
