The Fixx – Walkabout (Vinyl LP, 1986, MCA Records MCA-5705, US Carrollton Pressing, Club Edition)

Why This Record Matters
Walkabout is The Fixx’s fourth studio album and includes “Secret Separation,” which became a major US rock-radio hit for the band. Produced by Rupert Hine, the album continued the group’s mid-1980s new wave and synth-driven sound, with Lisa Dalbello contributing backing vocals on “Built For The Future.”
