Encyclopedia
Full House is a 1980 album by British pop group The Dooleys
.
This was the group's third studio album and featured the singles "Love Patrol", "Body Language" and "In a Riddle". As well as this, top 10 hit "Chosen Few" was added to the album, despite it being featured on the group's previous album, The Chosen Few
. In fact, most of the previous album's songs appeared on this 16-track collection. This cost-cutting measure was a disappointemt to fans, expecting an album of new songs. However, seven of the tracks were new, although these included the three already-released singles and some cover versions. The only two completely new and original songs out of the 16 were "I Spy" - a song written by the group themselves and one that had been released as a single in Japan - where they had scored their second No.1 with "Body Language" - and "Meet Me Halfway".
The album's chart position was marginally improved on the previous album, reaching No.54 (two places higher), but "Body Language" was their last regular hit single.
