Wendy & The Rocketts

Dazed For Days. In early 1983 Wendy & The Rocketts went intercontinental when they travelled to the U.K. to record their debut full length album at London’s Mayfair Studios. Produced by Paul Muggletong and John Hudson, ‘Dazed For Days’ (OZ#37) hit the stores in July 1983, and benefited from backing vocals on a number of tracks from Judie Tzuke (see future post). The advance single was ‘Play The Game’ which proved their first, and only, single to explode inside the Australian top 30 (#29). The follow up singles ‘Have You Been Telling Me Lies’ (OZ#75) and ‘Security’ couldn’t maintain the flight path toward the big time. The A&M label saw enough potential in the ‘Dazed Days’ album to release it in the U.K. and parts of Europe, and in September ‘83 the band embarked on an extensive tour of those territories, supporting the likes of Bryan Adams and ZZ Top along the way.
