From 1974 to 1987 at 6pm on a Sunday night the streets across Australia were deserted. Mums, Dads, kids, housemates, and sometimes complete strangers congregated in lounge rooms across the nation as everyone prepared for the hour long, almost religious, experience that was the ABC television show Countdown.
Fast forward to 2006 and the ABC has undertaken a major re-launch of one of its most loved, most successful and most enduring brands.
There are a myriad of activities across a broad range of licensed products, but by far the most significant event will be with the 'Frontier Touring Company' announcing the LIVE 'Countdown Spectacular' - sure to be the event of the year in Australian Music.
Liberation Music & ABC have partnered together and we will be releasing an extensive compilation COUNTDOWN - The Wonder Years.
COUNTDOWN - The Wonder Years - features the biggest names and the biggest hits in Australian Music that made Countdown what it was - an iconic Australian pop TV show.
