IMAGINATION


Formed in 1961 out of Wollongong as The Tremors. Changed their name to The Marksmen in 1963 and recorded a single ''Moonshine / But Why'' on the very rare Enterprise label in 1966. A copy of this single sold on Ebay for $AU 2225.00 in 2013. Upon moving to Sydney, the band changed their name to Imagination. Karl Stefanovic (Channel 9's Today) is the son of Alex Stefanovic the band's lead vocalist who had the stage name of Alex Steel. Imagination had a Sunday residency at the Moby Dick Club at Whale Beach in Sydney. The band had a Top-40 Queensland hit with a cover of the Bob Dylan song 'Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You''. They recorded a second single, The Beatles ''A Day In The Life'' backed by the self-written ''We Got Fun''. Drummer Geoff Foster died in 2019.
