Sources

The list has come from several sources:-

Mushroom Music used to have a detailed list of the music used in Home And Away, but they are no longer there. I originally used this source to compile this list. However they were not completely consistent with 'artist' - sometimes they seemed to list writer, other times performer.

The are some pages from Mushroom on an internet archive site, the Wayback Machine listing music.

More recent: the official site has a list of music from the past few months.

Also there were posts to the Crowded House e-mail list, Tongue in The Mail.
