Nolan Sisters Studio album by The Nolan Sisters Released 19 November 1979 Recorded 1979 Genre Pop Label Epic Producer Ben Findon, Nicky Graham, Mike Hurst The Nolan Sisters chronology 20 Giant Hits (1978) Nolan Sisters (1979) Making Waves (1980) Nolan Sisters is the self-titled 1979 album by the Irish sibling pop group The Nolan Sisters. It was their first album to be released on Epic Records, and contained a mixture of original material (composed for the group by Ben Findon, Mike Myers, and Robert Puzey) and covers of popular songs. The singles "Spirit Body and Soul" and "I'm In the Mood for Dancing" were released from the album, the latter becoming the group's best-known song. The release of that single also marked a group name change to The Nolans.
The album eventually entered the UK chart in January 1980 and peaked at #15. It remained on the chart for a total of thirteen weeks. In Japan, the album was released under the name, Dancing Sisters. The album cover included, as well as the then-current line-up, Coleen, who would become an official member of the group after Anne left the group in 1980. This was also the case for the cover for the Japanese version.
