Winner (Renée Geyer album)
Winner is the fifth studio album by Australian soul and R&B singer, Renée Geyer. It was released in November 1978 and peaked at number 69 on the Kent Music Report. Geyer recorded it in Los Angeles with Frank Wilson producing and was joined by her backing band of Tim Partridge on bass guitar, Mark Punch on guitar and backing vocals, and Greg Tell on drums together with session musicians. Two singles were provided from the album, "Money " and "Baby Be Mine".
In her autobiography, released in 2000, Geyer wrote she was unhappy with the mixing of Winner and the lack of support from her American label, Polydor Records. She negotiated a release from her contract, brought the album tapes back to Australia where it was remixed and released. Geyer referred to the album as "a bit of a loser".
