Wikipedia:
Living in the 70s is the debut album by Melbourne band Skyhooks, produced by former Daddy Cool lead singer Ross Wilson, and released in October 1974. It became the highest-selling album by an Australian act in Australia until that time, with sales of 240,000.
Prior to this in late 1973, Wilson had convinced Michael Gudinski to sign the band to his booking agency Australian Entertainment Exchange and to Gudinski’s label Mushroom Records.
Two singles were lifted from the album: Livin’ in the 70s and Horror Movie.
Six tracks from the album were banned on commercial radio in Australia; in defiance of this, however, the ABC’s new youth station in Sydney, 2JJ, played the track You Just Like Me ‘Cos I’m Good in Bed as its first ever song when it began broadcasting in January 1975.
