Richard Clapton


Former commercial artist Richard Clapton released his first solo album, Prussian Blue, in November 1973, having spent five years in Europe, where he worked in Berlin with a group called Bitch. The album documented his travels throughout Europe, and contained songs about Denmark, France and Germany.

Richard's 1980 album Dark Spaces was dedicated to the memory of Andrew Durant - the guitarist with the Australian band, Stars - who died of cancer in May 1980. 

In 1981 Richard produced the second INXS album, Underneath The Colours. In 1987, INXS drummer Jon Farriss returned the favour by producing Clapton's first album in three years, Glory Road.

In 1983, Clapton temporarily put aside his solo career to work as vocalist for Australian "supergroup" The Party Boys.
