Released in October 1989, the album saw Harry reverting from "Debbie" to "Deborah" as her professional name. Harry worked with a variety of producers on the album, including Mike Chapman who had previously produced the last four Blondie albums. "I wanted," she remarked, "to do certain things that were reminiscent of Blondie."〔''Rolling Stone'', precise date unknown, 1989〕 It was also revealed that the original title of the album was, "Dream Season", but it was changed due to a similarly titled Pat Benatar album – presumably the previous year's ''Wide Awake in Dreamland''. Due to lack of promotion the album was not a commercial success in Harry's native United States peaking at #123 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 200 album chart. However, the album peaked at #10 in Australia and #12 in the UK and has been certified "Silver" by the BPI. In late 1989, Harry toured for the first time as a solo artist extensively in Europe and the United States to support the album. ==Singles== This album contained the hit single "I Want That Man" which was written by Tom Bailey and Alannah Currie of the Thompson Twins. Bailey also co-produced the track and played keyboards on it. The single made the Top 20 of the UK Singles Chart, and was her biggest solo chart success in Australia, where it reached #2. Other singles released from the album included "Kiss It Better", "Brite Side", "Sweet and Low" and "Maybe For Sure". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Def, Dumb & Blonde」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
