QED

In February 1981, New Zealand band, The Crocodiles relocated to Sydney and soon disbanded. In late 1983, The Crocodiles' lead vocalist, Jenny Morris, formed QED in Sydney with guitarist Rex Goh (ex-Air Supply), bassist Ian Belton (ex-Dave Dobbyn, Renée Geyer)., and drummer Shane Flew. The trio signed with EMI Australia and were produced by Mark Moffatt (The Saints, Mondo Rock, Tim Finn) and Ricky Fataar (Geyer, Finn, Kids in the Kitchen). QED recorded some of The Crocodiles' material including, "Everywhere I Go", "Animal Magic" and "You're So Hip"; Morris also co-wrote new songs with Goh.

Their debut single, "Everywhere I Go", was released in December, which peaked at #19 on the national chart. QED performed it on Countdown on 1 April 1984. The follow-up single "Solo and More" was issued in March but failed to chart. The third single, "This One", appeared in August and reached #45 on the national singles charts. Additional musicians for QED’s first album, 'Animal Magic', included keyboardist Amanda Vincent (Eurogliders, who later joined the Jenny Morris band), drummer Steve Fearnly, saxophonist Tony Buchanan, and Fataar on drums. EMI released it in November 1984, but sales remained low, and the album did not chart. QED only released one album and disbanded by 1985, Morris later had a successful solo career. Ian Belton died in 1993.
