Adultery is the CD/EP album by Australian rock/pop group Do-Ré-Mi which was released by Virgin Records in October 1987. The EP has five tracks, which were written by lead vocalist Deborah Conway, drummer Dorland Bray, bass guitarist Helen Carter and guitarist Stephen Philip. Do-Ré-Mi's debut single "Man Overboard" had been top 5 hit in 1985, but Adultery, which charted on the National singles charts, had less chart success. It was released as a single in different forms for UK, German and North American markets, the Australian 1987 CD version had five tracks.
Do-Ré-Mi had formed in Sydney in 1981 when Deborah Conway (lead vocals) and Dorland Bray (drums, percussion, backing vocals), both previously in Melbourne-based group The Benders, joined Helen Carter (bass, backing vocals) ex-Friction. Stephen Philip (guitar), ex-Thought Criminals, was initially a studio musician for their debut EP, Do-Ré-Mi released in August 1982 and was asked to join formally. They returned to the studio almost immediately and recorded The Waiting Room EP which was released in January 1983.Paul Hester, later drummer for Split Enz and Crowded House, was living with Conway and guested on timbales for the track, "(Just Like) Hercules" from The Waiting Room. "Man Overboard" had its first appearance on that EP but was later re-worked and released as a single in 1985 from the Domestic Harmony album for Virgin Records, it peaked at #5 on the Australian singles charts. In 1987, Do-Ré-Mi released the Adultery EP as a CD single with five tracks in Australia, while international single releases had different tracks as the B-side(s). Three tracks had previously been released as singles in Australia, "Guns and Butter", "Idiot Grin" and "Warnings Moving Clockwise" but had little chart success, Adultery peaked at #22 on the Australian national singles charts.
