Sunshine (Dragon album)
''Sunshine'' is the third album by New Zealand / Australian rock band Dragon, it was their first album after they had relocated to Sydney in May 1975.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Groups & Solo Artists - Ariel )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dragon )〕 ''Sunshine'' was released in 1977 by CBS Records and peaked at #24 on the Australian national albums charts.〔 NOTE: Used for Australian Singles and Albums charting from 1970 until ARIA created their own charts in mid-1988.〕 The single "This Time" had been released in late June 1976, which peaked at #26 on the Australian national singles charts.〔 The second single "Get that Jive" was the best charting peaking at #13 and the third single "Sunshine" reached #36.〔 The album had US and International releases in 1978 on Portrait Records, with "This Time" called "In the Right Direction" and an alternative cover used (see infobox).
Dragon had released two progressive rock albums in New Zealand but in Sydney they were moving to a rock / pop sound and sent for keyboardist Paul Hewson of rival kiwi group Mammal.〔 Hewson joined Dragon with Marc Hunter on vocals and his older brother Todd Hunter on bass guitar, Neil Storey on drums and Robert M. Taylor on lead guitar. Storey died of heroin overdose in September 1976, aged 22.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=MILESAGO )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Dragon Online )〕 Their debut single "This Time" had begun charting, they considered disbanding but continued with ex-Mammal drummer Kerry Jacobson to complete the album.〔 The album was dedicated to Neil Storey (1954–1976).
==Background==
After Dragon relocated to Sydney in May 1975 they landed a contract with CBS Records when record producer Peter Dawkins caught one of their performances.〔〔 Dragon co-founder Ray Goodwin left the group in 1975, so Dragon sent for keyboard player Paul Hewson who had a reputation, in New Zealand, as a pop songwriter.〔 Hewson, ex-Mammal, had been scouted by Dragon when they were still in New Zealand but had declined to join.〔 Often courting or creating controversy, the band was rocked by the heroin overdose death of drummer Neil Storey in September 1976, aged 22.〔〔〔 By then, their debut single "This Time" had begun charting.〔 After considering disbanding, Todd Hunter consulted with former manager Graeme Nesbitt (ex-Mammal) who advised him to continue and organised for Kerry Jacobson (ex-Mammal) to join on drums.〔
