Great Australian Albums is a documentary series that takes you behind the scenes in the creation of four masterpiece albums. They also highlight the personal struggles of the artist.

The series features new and lengthy interviews with key performers, their colleagues explaining what really happened in the studio and after the gigs. Some of these stories are peppered with new performances recorded especially for the show and the artists reveal alternative mixes and early versions of songs that have become part of the national heritage.

These documentaries place the albums in their artistic, historical and cultural context.

THE HUNTERS AND COLLECTORS – Human Frailty

The Hunters + Collectors breakthrough came in 1986 with the album Human Frailty. The album began with the writing of "Throw Your Arms Around Me", their most personal and romantic song. “Say Goodbye” soon followed that with its memorable chorus “You don’t make me feel like I’m a woman anymore!”

The rest of the album documents, in the most candid terms, the course of a doomed love affair that Mark Seymour was then going through. A parallel narrative is also running through the album, which is of a group adjusting to life on the road and an exploration of what it means to be Australian in the 1980s.
