The album was reissued in the US with extra tracks in 1987, peaking at number 10 on the Billboard 200[3]. The US release was supported by a live single version of 'Mony Mony'.
The original release, sporting a photo from the 'Dancing with Myself' video was originally released as a mini-LP in Europe in 1985.
