"Music from Australia and New Zealand in the year 1978:
Ian Mason's promo-video for the single 'Gotta Lotta Love' taken from the 1978 album 'Nobody Takes Me Seriously'.
This track was produced by John Farrar; most famous for writing hits for Olivia Newtown-John.
Ian Mason:
Ian Mason began playing in bands as a teenager, during the 1960's. His own band Mason's Cure (later known as 'Stylus) made a name for themselves in Australia as a live act.
Ian Mason also became an in-demand Jingle composer during the '70's. He composed many memorable advertising Jingles for radio and television. One of his most remarkable pieces was a 1978 Jingle he did for Melbourne radio station 3XY. The jingle was 'I Can Feel It' and was performed by the 3XY Supergroup Party which featured 300 of Australia's finest performers and musicians (found on NZOZ1978 under the title '3XY Supergroup Party - 3XY Radio Promo (1978').
During the early 1980's, he bought a-state-of-the-art recording studio called 'The Music Farm', which was used by many famous Australian and international musicians; including Australian Crawl, Mi-Sex, Moving Pictures, Tim Finn, Redgum, Goanna
Band, Divinyls, INXS, Jimmy Barnes and Midnight Oil. He has worked and traveled overseas - playing with Stevie Wonder, Toto and many others.
Ian Mason remains an in-demand musician and is greatly respected by his peers and the music industry.
Ian is now working as a composer of film and television and is currently producing his first Feature Film!
