Temperamental - 2022 Remastered & Expanded Edition

The third album by Australia's Divinyls sees the band looking to crack the U.S. market with a more straight-forward rock sound, though still distinctly Divinyls. Originally released in 1988, Temperamental was given a boost with the inclusion of the first single Back to the Wall being part of the soundtrack for the film A Nightmare on Elm Street 4 - The Dream Master. This mid-tempo track has a memorable and melodic chorus that shows Chrissy Amphlett could sing as beautifully as she could aggressively. Their modified cover of the sixties song Little Girl by the group Syndicate of Sound became an Australian hit single for Divinyls as the romping Hey Little Boy. The final single release Punxsie shows Divinyls moving straight into ballad territory. Added to this brand new dynamically remastered edition are a selection of worthy bonus tracks, including the standout single B side Out Of Time and the 12" mix of Hey Little Boy. A recently unearthed and previously unreleased 12" Extended Remix of their 1985 hit single Pleasure & Pain closes out the CD.
