Background

Skyhooks had announced their split in 1980, following the release of Hot for the Orient. In late 1982, Mushroom Records had released a megamix of their hits, titled "Hooked on Hooks", which peaked at number 21 in Australia. Demand for a comeback tour was gaining and in April 1983, a tour was announced. Their Melbourne shows on 29 and 30 April were recorded and released.
