“Heyday” is the fourth album by the Australian band The Church, released in November 1985. This was their first chart entry in the USA, peaking at #148.

“Peter was our first real producer – someone who understood music and made musical contributions to the songs. He was also a lovely guy, with a baby face and a soft demeanour, easy to be around”.

“He obviously understood the dynamic of the guitars, and the rich tones on Heyday showcased the intricate webs we weaved”

Marty Willson-Piper
