''Unlimited Address'' was the self-titled debut album of Australian band Catfish. Released in 1988, it spent 1 week in the Australian charts, peaking at number 50. ==Album details== Don Walker had been the main song-writer and piano player with Australian rock band Cold Chisel. He was the author of many of their hit songs, but rarely sang with them. When the band split in 1983, other members launched solo careers, but Walker travelled extensively through the Soviet Union, Asia & Europe, and originally intended to retire from the music industry. In 1988, Walker signed a contract with WEA to record under the name Catfish. Although using a band name, Walker was the sole ongoing member, and the public face and vocalist. He initially recorded bass and basic keyboard parts using a Fairlight CMI series 2, but the bass parts were later re-recorded by Ian Belton. David Blight featured heavily on harmonica, and Ian Moss provided some guitar breaks.〔 Walker chose not to have the contributing musicians listed in the liner notes, claiming it would be "too long and boring." The album showed a Jazzier, Eastern European side to Walker's songwriting, reflecting his travels during the previous years. Walker said that many of the songs were initially written for his own amusement before Catfish was conceived.〔 One review described it as, "a weird amalgam of torch songs, Eastern European cabaret and funk." Walker said, "Catfish was designed with a specific sound in mind and I didn't want session musicians. All of the people playing on this album have a strong personality which has affected the overall sound."〔 The song "Unlimited Address" was a reworking of an early unreleased Cold Chisel song, "Five-Thirty ETA". In its original form, it was described by Walker as, "a truck-driving story song with too many lyrics." In 2010, the album was re-released with new cover artwork. The album was remastered by Don Bartley, and the songs "One Night In Soviet Russia" and "Subway" were remixed by Phil Punch.〔 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「Unlimited Address」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
