From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Take It Greasy is the debut studio album to be released by Australian 1950s retro band Ol' 55.[1] The album peaked at number 3 on the Australian Kent Music Report and was certified 3× platinum. At the time, 1950s music and culture had gained a newfound interest in Australia amongst a younger generation, largely due to the influence of the very popular TV show Happy Days and earlier investigations into doo-wop by the group Daddy Cool.
