True Colours, the fifth album by Split Enz, was considered to be their ‘breakout’ album. Released in 1980, it achieved worldwide commercial success, charting in the US and the UK, along with topping the charts in their home country, New Zealand. The album also spawned their most successful single, I Got You. True Colours Q&A. Producers David Tickle. Writers Eddie Rayner, Malcolm Green, Neil Finn & 3 more. More Split Enz albums. The Rootin Tootin Luton Tapes.

True Colours, the fifth album released by New Zealand band Split Enz, was their first major commercial success. Released in 1980, the album featured more mature songwriting from Neil Finn. The US release of the album featured "Shark Attack" and "I Got You" in reversed positions due to the latter's success on the single charts. True Colours was remastered by Eddie Rayner and re-released on two occasions. Firstly in 2003, and yet again with the rest of the Split Enz catalogue on 20 May 2006 with the bonus tracks: Things and Two of a Kind True Colours. Studio album by. Split Enz.

True Colours and "I Got You" were simultaneously released in January 1980 and simultaneously topped charts in both Australia and New Zealand during March – the album stayed at in Australia for ten weeks, and the single for eight weeks and "I Got You" went on to become the highest selling single in Australia for the year – and the biggest international success o. The group toured extensively behind True Colours before returning to the studio in 1981. Their next album was released in Australia only as Corroboree and everywhere else as Waiata (Maori for "songs"). Split Enz played its last show on 4 December 1984 in Auckland. A double album recorded on the farewell tour, The Living Enz, was released in December 1985. Neil Finn and drummer Paul Hester founded Crowded House.

This is a complete discography listing for Split Enz, a New Zealand originated experimental rock-pop group. Their creative output includes several albums, singles, music videos, compilations as well as having albums pay tribute by other artists.

True Colours has been added to your Cart. I can't say this for the other Split Enz album I owned, Time and Tide, but Dirty Creature and Six Months in a Leaky Boat from that one are both brilliant

Split Enz's biggest hit internationally was the 1980 single "I Got You" from the True Colours album. Tim Finn left the band in 1983 to pursue a solo career, and Neil became the lead vocalist. Split Enz broke up in 1984. After Split Enz. Tim Finn briefly joined Crowded House later on and also recorded two albums together as the Finn Brothers.
