COMMENTS: About 100 of these cassettes were sold at concerts around 1982. It is often listed as a demo session and it is unsure which 2SER studio was used, since the radio station is owned and operated with studios in two universities in Sydney: University Of Technology, and Macquarie University. The "Rubber Never Sleeps" cassette includes tracks 2 and 8. Also, the "Birth Of The Scientists" compilation CD includes all the tracks except 4, 5 and 7. There is a version circulating that contains many dropouts, but this is a clean copy.

COMMENTS: This record was made when drummer Leanne Chock joined. The band got a new deal with Big Time Records, who asked them to do a best-of compilation to introduce them to the market. This 1986 album was released on Karbon Records (UK) and Big Time Records (USA). It includes older songs which were rerecorded in London, February 1986. The liner notes explain: "Here The Scientists dig through their own vault and blow the dust off twelve sparkling gems from their extensive repertoire. Never before available on one album 'Weird Love' represents a unique collection of re-recordings which span the group's career from 1982 to the end of '85."
