Slim Dusty saw major metropolitan music radio stations abandon support for country artists, and despite record sales in the multimillions, after the 1950s, Dusty was rarely heard on-air outside regional centres in Australia. Dusty's 1957 hit "A Pub with No Beer" was the biggest-selling record by an Australian to that time, the first Australian single to go gold and the first and only 78 rpm record to be awarded a gold disc.

Lee Remick (The Go-Betweens song) "Lee Remick" including the Meanies on the Go-Betweens tribute album, "Right Here" (1996); Patience Hodgson (of the Grates) on another tribute album, "Write Your Adventures Down" (2007) disc one; and Darren Hanlon on that same album's second disc. Lee Remick (The Go-Betweens song) "Lee Remick" is the debut single by Australian indie group The Go-Betweens.

Both songs were re-released on "The Able Label Singles" in 1986 (together with "People Say" and "Don't Let Him Come Back")
