From his pioneering Sixties bands (The Pink Finks, Party Machine and Sons of the Vegetal Mother), to his national breakthrough with Daddy Cool, Ross Wilson's place in Australian music history was assured. However, it did not end there. After disbanding Daddy Cool and in an incredible three-year run he formed the short lived 'super group' Mighty Kong, reformed Daddy Cool, produced (amongst others) the mega selling Skyhook's debut album Living In The Seventies, started a record label (Oz Records) with Glenn Wheatley and formed Mondo Rock. From 1976 - 1978 the band, initially called Ross Wilson's Mondo Rock, honed their live skills on a seemingly endless series of one night stands across the country. The lineup took some time to gel, eventually settling with Peter Laffy (guitar), Randy Bulpin (guitar), Tony Slavich (keyboards), Simon Gyllies (bass) and Iain McLennan (drums). It was this lineup who recorded the half studio / half live debut Primal Park. The deluxe reissue of Primal Park adds the 19.

Originally released on vinyl in 1979, this was the one and only album from the "second" version of Ross Wilsons' Mondo Rock. From 1976-1978 the band, initially called Ross Wilson's Mondo Rock, honed their live skills on a seemingly endless series of one-night stands across the country. The line-up took some time to gel, eventually settling with Wilson (lead vocals/harmonica), Peter Laffy (guitar), Randy Bulpin (guitar), Tony Slavich (keyboards), Simon Gyllies (bass) and Iain McLennan (drums). It was this line-up who recorded this half-studio / half-live album.

This deluxe remastered reissue adds the 1978 debut single "The Fugitive Kind" along with seven further bonus tracks - the last track, "Perhaps, Perhaps" was written by Wilson and Stephen Cummings and would become a hit single for Cummings' band The Sports in 1980 (as "Perhaps").
