'Place without a Postcard' is actually an album, containing the song of the
same name.   '10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1' and 'Red Sails in the Sunset' are fairly
easy to find here in the US; I haven't seen or heard anything about the
new single/EP here yet. Judging by the import rules these days, it could
be a while.  If you ever get a chance to see the band live, do it!

	Yet another expatriate Aussie...
