Paul Kelly & The Dots - Alive & Well (1982)

Just picked up a copy of "Manila". An underrated classic indeed. Too bad Paul Kelly doesn't think too much of the album.....

I am Scottish and only got into Paul Kelly after visiting Oz in '02. The guy is a genius. Seen him a few times in Glasgow at King Tuts. Great small shows and he always plays 'Careless' which is a result. Are Talk and Manilla available to buy, struggling to find them. Cheers, Neil x

I am not sure... I don't think his first two albums are in print, not even in Australia.

Thats not the Dots I remember.
Paul Kelly, Chris Dyson, Chris Worrel.
Their in Billy Baxter clip. take a look.

It's not the Dots I remember either LOL. Fancy finding you here on utoob Jody Bee! I had to open an account just to send you a message! Will be in touch. Cheers!

Jody,
You are correct. Billy Baxter is from the Talk album. Vocals Paul Kelly, Drums Tony Thornton, Bass Alan Brooker, Paul Gadsby, Guitars Chris Dyson, Chris Worrall (my brother) They were just The Dots prior to this but after Paul signed his royalties to Mushroom Gudinski promoted his music and made them Paul Kelly and The Dots. Sadly, Paul did have drug issues during this period it is great to know he survived it all! I was given a vinyl copy last weekend of Talk.

Thanks for sharing Paul Kelly and the Dots.
Paul and the individual dots shaped my foray
into music and photoghraphy.

Lol, the thought of Paul with a needle in his arm looking for a vein is kind of funny. The hardest gear I could honestly imagine him doing is toking on a reefer- and let's face it, how many Aussie groups in the 80's didn't partake in a bit of Dutchie passing?

lol. man i would never think he was that kind of person lol ok seriously this is kind of funny i never heard that!
