I've stumbled upon a few 12"s/LPs I left in my locker at work, so thought I'd make another podcast of tracks from those few records. There are some cracking tracks [not all in the jangly style however] from Woodentops, Jack Rubies, The Reels, Skolars, Railway Children, Fast Cars and Go-Betweens!
The Jack Rubies were a real favourite of mine, they first came to attention through a compilation LP with the track 'Wrecker of Engines'. The 2 tracks featured come from later 12"s.

Both the Woodentops and Railway Children were minor crossover indiepop that ended up being sort of neglected, which is a shame in the case of RC cause they had some fantastic jangly songs.
The Reels 'Beautiful' was a fab tongue in cheek slice of easy listening/sunshine pop, the cover of 'This Guy's In Love With You' is to die for [was released as a 7" in Australia], I went with the lesser known cover of Roberta Flack's 70's hit. Skolars and Fast Cars were cult Sydney bands of the early 80s and I still love em, hope you do too....
