''Kinky'' was iconic〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=ARIA Awards 2007: About Hall of Fame )〕〔 〕 Australian rock group Hoodoo Gurus' fifth studio album, and was released on 9 April 1991 by RCA Records. It was produced by the group.〔 The album reached No. 172 on the American Billboard charts in 1991, with the single "Miss Freelove '69" (February 1991) reaching No. 19 on the ARIA Singles Chart,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://australian-charts.com/showitem.asp?interpret=Hoodoo+Gurus&titel=Miss+Freelove+%2769&cat=s )〕 No. 3 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart in 1991. Other singles were "1000 Miles Away" (June 1991, No. 37〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://australian-charts.com/showitem.asp?key=277779&cat=s )〕), "A Place in the Sun" (August 1991) and "Castles in the Air" (December 1991). EMI re-released the album on 7 February 2005〔(EMI Records )〕 with four additional tracks, a fold out poster and liner notes by Dave Gray (Rocket Science). ==Background== Hoodoo Gurus had formed in Sydney in 1981 with Dave Faulkner the mainstay as songwriter, lead singer and guitarist. He was later joined by Mark Kingsmill on drums, and Brad Shepherd on guitar, vocals, and harmonica.〔 In 1988 Richard Grossman (ex Matt Finish, Divinyls) replaced Clyde Bramley on bass guitar.〔 The most stable line-up of Faulkner, Grossman, Kingsmill, and Shepherd saw Hoodoo Gurus from 1988 to their hiatus in January 1998.〔 〕 After the first album under their new contract, ''Magnum Cum Louder'' they recorded 1991's ''Kinky'', which peaked at No. 172 on the American ''Billboard'' 200 album charts.〔 It provided the single "Miss Freelove '69" which reached No. 19 on the ARIA Singles Chart,〔 and No. 3 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart in 1991. Another single of the same year "1000 Miles Away" reached No. 37 in Australia.〔 It was adopted by the crew of Royal Australian Navy frigate HMAS ''Canberra'' as their 'anthem' in 1993, playing it whenever they left port. Hoodoo Gurus played a concert, including "1000 Miles Away", on-board HMAS ''Canberra'' during its last voyage prior to decommissioning in 2005; coincidentally, Dave Faulkner's father is a World War II veteran who survived the sinking of the original ''Canberra''.〔 After releasing ''Kinky'' the band then released two compilations at once in 1992, ''Electric Soup'', which contained the band's hits and ''Gorilla Biscuit'', which was made up of B-sides and rarities. 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「Kinky (Hoodoo Gurus album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
