Previously, a Waxx Lyrical Record Of The Month, Post was released in 1985 and marked a turning point for Paul Kelly. It was raw, acoustic, and deeply personal. Recorded in Sydney after a painful breakup and the collapse of his band, the album traded polish for honesty.
Songs like “From St Kilda to Kings Cross” capture a drifting, restless Australia, while “Look So Fine, Feel So Low” lays heartbreak bare. Stripped of embellishment, Post was hailed by Rolling Stone as the best album of the year. More than a debut, it was a reinvention. A quiet, defiant reset that turned vulnerability into power.
To mark its 40th anniversary, we’re reissuing Post on 180gsm vinyl in a limited edition grey pressing.
Each copy includes one of eight specially created lyric sheets from Paul Kelly.
