Tallulah by The Go-Betweens
Tallulah is an album by The Go-Betweens, released in 1987. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 3 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Right Here”, on 1 list with a best position of #23.
Tallulah, the Go-Betweens' fifth album, came out in the UK on Beggars Banquet on 1 June 1987, and it's the first record from the Brisbane band as a five-piece. Robert Forster and Grant McLennan, the singer-songwriters and guitarists who founded the group, still lead from the front; Lindy Morrison is on drums, Robert Vickers on bass, and the newcomer, multi-instrumentalist Amanda Brown, brings fresh colour to the arrangements.
The original release ran to ten songs, a bridge between Liberty Belle and the Black Diamond Express and 16 Lovers Lane. "Right Here" and "Bye Bye Pride" were the ones that got videos, and they're smart, bittersweet indie rock with tunes you can actually hum. In 2004 Lo-Max gave the album a second life as an expanded CD, with a whole extra disc of ten bonus tracks.
