[3] and music download[4] 1979 had been busy for Russell Morris, with the release and promotion of the album Foot in the Door, concluding on 4 November on the steps of the Sydney Opera House in front of 100,000 people.

In April 1980 Morris lost Joey Amenta and James Black from his band, but they were replaced with Max Chazan and Bruce Haymes.

The band released a cover of the Billy Joe Royal song "Hush" in September 1980, which peaked at number 14 on the Kent Music Report.
