"Charlie No 3" comes from Eternal Nightcap, the Whitlams' third studio album, which the Australian band released on Black Yak Phantom in 1997, and it's Tim Freedman's show from start to finish: he sings, plays piano and synthesizer, and produced it with Rob Taylor. He wrote it with Greta Gertler, who shares both the words and the music.
The album went on to triple platinum, won Best Independent Release at the 1998 ARIA Music Awards, where the Whitlams were named Best Group, and kept the band on the road for 150 dates of a national tour. In 2022 they took it out again for a 25th anniversary run.
