Background
After their fourth studio album, Human Frailty, was released in Australia in April 1986 Hunters & Collectors toured North America twice later that year. The band's line-up was John Archer on bass guitar, Doug Falconer on drums, John 'Jack' Howard on trumpet, Robert Miles providing live sound and art design, Mark Seymour on lead vocals, lead guitar, Jeremy Smith on French horn and Michael Waters on trombone, keyboards. They returned to the studio in February 1987 and recorded three songs, co-produced by the band with Greg Edward. These tracks were then released as their third extended play, Living Daylight on 13 April 1987. Rock historian, Ian McFarlane, felt it was "something of a stop-gap measure". The three-track EP appeared on the Australian Top 50 Singles Chart peaking at No. 41 on the Australia Singles Chart and No. 25 in New Zealand. Following its release Hunters & Collectors toured the US and Canada for three months. Upon their return to Australia they went back to the recording studios in September 1987 and recorded their fifth studio album, What's a Few Men?, also co-produced with Edward, which was then released in November.
In July 1991 White Label Records re-issued the band's Human Frailty album on CD, which also included the three tracks from Living Daylight.
