Their debut single "Recognition" was issued in 1979, under the name The Dots, on an independent label, but had no chart success.〔〔 "Recognition" line-up were Kelly (vocals), Chris Langman (guitars), Chris Worrall (guitars), Paul Gadsby (bass guitar) and John Lloyd (drums). The version of "Recognition" included on ''Talk'' is not the single version, but a re-recording. The Dots were signed to Mushroom Records, and underwent further line-up changes prior to the album's release.〔 The band name was changed to "Paul Kelly and the Dots" at the record company's insistence. Armiger produced part of the album, while Joe Camilleri produced the majority of the LP. The group released "Billy Baxter" in 1980, which peaked at No. 38 on the Australian Kent Music Report Singles Chart.〔 The song's subject, Billy Baxter, is an Australian musician and comedian.〔 ''Talk'' was issued on 30 March 1981 and peaked at No. 44 on the related albums chart.〔 "Lowdown" was released as a single in May but had no chart success.〔 The group then travelled to The Philippines' capital to record their second album ''Manila'' during July and August 1981, but further line-up changes delayed its release until August 1982.〔 Kelly was later dissatisfied with both of these albums: "I wish I could grab the other two and put 'em in a big hole". The album's liner notes quote the opening stanzas of Charles Baudelaire's 1857 poem, "Les Foules" (see ("The Crowds" ) for English translation). 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「Talk (Paul Kelly album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
