Split Enz 50th review, Thatcher’s heroin war, and the Zombies’ long-delayed victory lap

On The Record’s Episode 23 leans in to great songs, better stories, and the strange afterlife of pop careers.

Michael Mackenzie’s big night out is Split Enz at Rod Laver Arena, a reunion-sized crowd of “people in roughly our same demographic” packed into a venue that, he notes, holds 14,860. 

The gig itself? A triumph. Plus UK crime reviews and the long overdue recognition of The Zombies.
