Delivering a curious blend of early 80s US Hardcore and the blurred jazz post-punk stylings of Laughing Clowns, Melbourne's Venom P. Stinger have yet to receive their CD reissue dues.

Following up on their 1986 debut, Meet My Friend Venom, and 7" single released a year later - Walking About/26 Milligrams, What's Yours Is Mine was the last release to feature the vocals of the maniacal Scotsman, Dugald MacKenzie. Replaced by Nick Palmer, the band went on to tour the USA, releasing various titles on American indies which are noticeably in print today.
