Door, Door is the debut album by Australian rock band
The Birthday Party, released under the name "The Boys Next Door" in 1979. The Album was recorded before the band left
Australia for
London in 1980, at which point they changed their name to The Birthday Party and created the body of work for which they are most recognized. Likewise, the album is different stylistically from their later work, being less dark and slightly more
poppy. Guest saxophonist Chris Coyne had played in the band in its pre-Punk days. He appears on "The Nightwatchman," "Brave Exhibitions" and "The Voice."
