Australia can't get enough of legendary pop super group Sherbet. Since the band's brilliant reunion performances on the 2006 Countdown Spectacular tour, the demand for re-issued, re-mastered material has reached new heights.

Sherbet was not just a singles band. Their albums, from the auspicious debut, Time Change - A Natural Progression, to the ahead-of-its-time concept album, Life... Is for Living, the massively successful Howzat! and Photoplay, and through to the more mature-sounding Sherbet, all contained finely-crafted, memorable songs that became live concert favourites. Songs such as the early crowd-pleasing party song "Do It", the magnificent ballad "If I Had My Way" and the autobiographical drama of "Winnipeg Sidestep", all became much loved by Sherbet fans through the years.

The classic Sherbet line-up that topped the charts and won the hearts of thousands of Australians - and fans in the UK, Europe and the US – featured Daryl Braithwaite (lead vocal), Garth Porter (keyboards), Clive Shakespeare (guitar 1969-1976), Harvey James (guitar 1976-1982), Tony Mitchell (bass) and Alan Sandow (drums). Tony Leigh (guitar 1982-84) joined during The Sherbs era and was also in the band during the reunion/farewell tour of 1984 that resulted in the final single, "Tonight Will Last Forever".
