In 2005, a tribute album was released by Shock Records named Stoneage Cameos, which included covers by major Australian rock bands. The concept was put together by Jason 'Evo' Evans and Wally 'Meanie' Kempton (Even/The Meanies). The project was more to heritage list the Gurus and to stamp this great album into history: performances of Hoodoo Gurus' songs by current Australian artists on this tribute album were cited at their 2007 ARIA Hall of Fame induction.
All the songs were recorded at Sing Sing Studios in Melbourne between March and June 2005, with the exception of "Tojo" and "I Was A Kamikaze Pilot", which were recorded at Big Jesus Burger Studios in Sydney in June 2005 and ""Be My Guru", which was recorded by Persian Rugs (containing three Gurus: Faulkner, Brad Shepherd and Mark Kingsmill; with bassist Kendall James) at the Milk Bar Studios in Sydney in November 2004. The album was produced by Andy Baldwin.
The CD was launched at the Meadows Greyhound Race Track in Broadmeadows, Victoria. The feature race of the night (race 6) was called 'The Stoneage Cameo Plate'.
