1982 Captain & Tennille – More Than Dancing… Much More
More Than Dancing is a 1982 independent release by Captain & Tennille. The album was released on a now-defunct Australian record label, Wizard Records. Following the five years of international success between A&M Records and Casablanca Records, Captain & Tennille had essentially concluded their major recording career in 1980 with the album Keeping Our Love Warm. The following year, Wizard Records invested in Captain & Tennille to record More Than Dancing. When released in 1982, the album had limited Australian release and was not released internationally. The album was considered extremely rare until the CD release in 2003. In 2003, the Australian record label, Raven Records, purchased the rights and re-released the album on CD and retitled to “More Than Dancing …Much More“. An alternate album cover was used from the original photoshoot, where Tennille and Dragon are facing the camera rather than each other. The re-release included the original 1982 tracks, as well as 11 unreleased tracks recorded from the 1980s up to 1995.
