In November 1981, the group’s fifth studio album, Night Attack

In November 1981, the group’s fifth studio album, Night Attack , which was produced by Ed Thacker and the Brewsters, was released. McFarlane felt it “saw the songs moving into heavy metal territory”, which peaked at No. 11 in Australia and No. 14 in New Zealand. As their third international album, Night Attack , included a remixed version of “Back on You”, previously available on the flip-side of the “Into the Heat” single. Early in 1982 Bailey left the group due to “visa issues that prevented his joining the band in the US.” Los Angeles-based session musician, Jim Hilbun (Holly Penfield, see Ian Ritchie ), was recruited as his replacement on bass guitar, vocals, saxophone and organ. Bailey joined Adelaide-based rock group, Gotham City, in late 1982 alongside Bidstrup; two years later the pair were founders of GANGgajang in Sydney.
