Domestic Harmony is the debut studio album by Australian rock/pop group Do-Ré-Mi which was released by Virgin Records in August 1985.[2] The album has ten tracks, which were written by lead vocalist Deborah Conway, drummer Dorland Bray, bass guitarist Helen Carter and guitarist Stephen Philip.[3][4]
The single "Man Overboard" had made its first appearance on 1982's The Waiting Room EP, but was re-worked and released as a single from this album to become a top 5 hit,[5][6] it included lyrics referring to anal humour, penis envy and pubic hair; and had no chorus.[7]
At the 1985 Countdown Music Awards, the album won Best Debut Album.[8]
The album was released in different forms for UK, German and North American markets and the Australian 1988 CD version had five bonus tracks.[4]
