Breakfast At Sweethearts was the second studio album, released in February 1979.
The album was recorded between July 1978 and January 1979 with experienced producer Richard Batchens, who had previously worked with Richard Clapton, Sherbet and Blackfeather. Batchens smoothed out many of the band’s rough edges and attempted to give their songs a sophisticated sound. This approach has made the album sit a little uncomfortably with the band ever since. Once again, the majority of the songs were penned by Walker, with Barnes collaborating with Walker on the first single “Goodbye (Astrid, Goodbye)” and Moss contributing to “Dresden”. “Goodbye (Astrid, Goodbye)” became a live favourite for the band, and even went on to be performed by U2 during Australian tours in the 1980s.
