As the Rubellan site is shutting down, I asked the Wayback Machine to back up the page for this release:
https://web.archive.org/web/20250326011302/https://www.rubellanremasters.com/divinylswhatalife -
Following 'Desperate'. this is (also) an extremely enjoyable album. It contains loads of extras and sounds brilliant. Happy days! -
As a huge Divinyls fan I was super excited when I first heard that Rubellan Remasters was doing a re-issue and expanded version of this album. Long overdue and I was very happy that someone was finally giving some love to this iconic Aussie band.
But what a wonderful surprise to discover the brilliant outtake "More to Choose"...it has quickly became a favourite track for me. Why this was left in limbo in the first place is a mystery.
The album itself has been lovingly remastered - sounds brilliant!
As Molly Meldrum would say, "Do Yourself a Favour" and pick up this album (and the re-issued Desperate) now. Your ears deserve a treat.
Long love Chrissy!
