It’s for Your Own Good by The Living End

It's for Your Own Good, the second EP from Melbourne's The Living End, was cut in June 1996 at Birdland Studio in their home town, a year before Second Solution / Prisoner of Society made them famous. Chris Cheney sings and plays guitar, Scott Owen plays double bass, and the sound is punk with a rockabilly quiff: fast, tight and grinning.

The lead track, "From Here on In", mattered enough that the band later borrowed its title for their 2004 singles collection. Elsewhere they tear into The Cure's "10:15 Saturday Night". Early copies came with a typo on the sleeve, the title rendered as "I'ts", which later pressings put right.
