About this album

Past Hits & Previews shows Richard Clapton refining his voice as one of Australian rock’s sharpest singer-songwriters. Issued in 1978, the compilation gathers his best-known early songs alongside previews of where he was headed next, balancing radio-ready hooks with a more reflective, road-worn edge. Tracks such as Girls On The Avenue and Capricorn Dancer helped establish Clapton’s reputation for vivid, distinctly local writing, while the newer material points to the broader musical ambition that followed. As both a recap and a statement of intent, the album captures a pivotal moment in his rise through the Australian rock scene.
