Heard about this a couple of weeks back and was terribly intrigued -- preorder link to a reissue plus a bio now up:

Anyone heard of this act before?

Yeah, never heard of this...but the description sounds incredible and the one track they have up there is awfully great as well.

Cool, thx Ned. Hadn't seen this before putting the press sheet w backdoorstory on Rolling Reissues (following another contributor's news re Little Richard's box, as it happens).

I've played this about ten times today, after Ned posting about 'em on fb:

Ooh, stoked to check this out when I get home (luckily there's a track up on Bandcamp as everything else is blocked here) ... Guy at Chapter Music is a total hero re: his balancing contemporary Aussie stuff & historical concerns (Primitive Calculators et al) - see also https://chaptermusic.bandcamp.com/album/strong-love-songs-of-gay-liberation-1972-81

six months pass...

Whole thing can be streamed at http://chaptermusic.bandcamp.com/album/how-far-will-you-go FWIW. Really enjoy it but I'm pretty illiterate w/this era of music - would love to hear what eg scott seward makes of them!
