Released in 1985, Mars Needs Guitars! was the album that cemented Hoodoo Gurus as one of Australia’s most influential rock bands. Packed with standout tracks like "Bittersweet", "Like Wow - Wipeout!" and "Death Defying". Loud, catchy and confident, the album captured the Gurus at full stride.

To mark its 40th anniversary, this deluxe 2LP edition brings the album back in expanded form.
