Introducing the Whitlams is the first studio album by Australian band The Whitlams, released by Phantom in 1993.
The bells motif in "Five Bells" is referenced at the end of the 1999 song "You Gotta Love This City" by The Whitlams, which also involves a drowning death in Sydney Harbour.
Stupor Ego, released in 1996, is the first live album to be released by The Whitlams
Abrahams has also been a session musician on albums for artists such as The Church, The Whitlams, Midnight Oil, Wendy Matthews, Skunkhour and Silverchair.
During his brief pop career Marcus worked with a number of respected music industry figures including Michael Vidale, the bass player with Jimmy and the Boys, and Tim Freedman, who would later be in the iconic band, The Whitlams.
The success and support of their original music has seen them share stages with some influential international and national acts including the likes of The Violent Femmes, The Whitlams, Marcia Hines, The Red Eyes, True Live and The Exploders.
The album features a mix of original and cover songs, including songs written by Whopping Big Naughty frontman Stanley Claret (born Justin Hayes, and credited as Justin Credible in the liner notes), brother of The Whitlams guitarist Stevie Plunder, and Everything but the Girl, among others.
On 26 January (Australia Day), 1996, exactly four years since The Whitlams were formed, and as their single I Make Hamburgers was breaking into the Triple J Hottest 100 chart, Stevie Plunder was found dead at the bottom of Wentworth Falls in the Blue Mountains, apparently a suicide.
Due to its discontinued status, extreme rarity and nostalgia value (it features The Whitlams in the initial trio of Tim Freedman, Stevie Plunder and Andy Lewis), copies of this CD have been known to sell for hundreds of dollars.
