The Fargone Beauties – 1991	The track list is as follows -
	Wild Thing / Bonanza Oh Lonesome Me Country Man She's My Baby Clean Living Oink Hey Joe Little Sister Cool World Stairway To Heaven The Last Time Sad Tales From The Brothers Oink

The first self titled was album released in 1991 on True Blue Records through Sony, and was recorded at Megaphon Studios in Sydney The musicians were band members John Spence - Vocals, Acoustic and Electric Guitars; Terry Murray - Vocals, Electric Guitars; and James Gillard - Vocals, Bass Guitars; with Mark Collins & Ian Simpson – Banjo; and Mark Meyer – Drums. Justin Heffernan was enlisted to create the somewhat demented album artwork and the band photography.

Considered by some the best rock'n country album ever made, this album featured the hits Wild Thing, Hey Joe, Cool World and the masterful reworking of Stairway to Heaven which many argue is the way the song was truly meant to be played - "thrashgrass" style.

Unfortunately this album is out of print and unavailable. It remains a sought after collectable on websites worldwide.

It's Hard When You're Ugly – 1992	The track list is as follows -
	Highway To Hell Play That Country Music Suspicious Minds Sex & Drugs Single Drop Soul Arch Hey Good Lookin Lights On The Hill Born To Be Wild Rock & Roll Let's Make A Move Great Balls Of Fire

The band's second album was appropriately titled "It's Hard When You're Ugly". Recorded at Tracking Station Studios in Sydney, it was released in 1992 on the Emerald City label through Phonogram. This album included the killer thrashgrass version of AC/DC's "Highway To Hell" which, we are told, was most enjoyed by Angus & Malcolm Young when it was brought to their attention.

The musicians were Terry Murray – vocals, electric guitars; John Spence - vocals, acoustic and electric guitars; and James Gillard - vocals, acoustic & bass guitars; with Mark Collins - banjo; Mark Meyer and Dave Druery - drums; Dave Skinner guested on keyboards. Justin Heffernan maintained the bizarre bovine theme on the album artwork.

Highway to Hell (CD single) – 1992	The track list is as follows -
	Highway To Hell Single Drop

Unfortunately this CD single is out of print and unavailable. It remains a sought after collectable on websites worldwide.

Dark Side Of The Moo– 1994	The track list is as follows -
	Mama Weer All Crazy Fat Bottom Girls I Hear You Knockin Johnny B Goode Get It On Top Hog That's The Way / Hustle Judgement Day Ballroom Blitz I'm Walkin She's So Fine I'm Not In Love

Our third album "Dark Side Of The Moo" was released in 1994 through Dino Music. It carried on the tradition of taking classic rock songs and giving them a right good thrashgrass treatment in true Fargones style. Standout tracks include a blistering version of Slade's "Mama Weer All Crazee Now" which was also made into a truly twisted video, and a kick ass reworking of Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode" which was used in a TV ad campaign for Johhny Walker Scotch Whisky throughout Australia.

The musicians were Terry Murray - vocals, electric guitars; James Gillard - vocals, acoustic & bass guitars; Mark Marriott - drums; with. Darryl Melbourne - banjo, dobro & guitar. Guest musicians included Mark Collins   - banjo, Kym Warner - mandolin; Marcus Holden - fiddle; and Christian Marsh - harmonica.

The album title and artwork continued the strange mutation of the bovine theme that graphic artist Justin Heffernan began when the famous Fargone cow first turned up on the debut album cover.
