Many (if not all) of the U.S. fans of the Divinyls may not be aware of their final (for now, at least) CD - "Underworld". A scan of the back cover is below. This was apparently released in Austrailia, but never saw U.S. release. Indeed, if you go to Amazon.com, it's not even listed as an available import.
This is really a crime because it is, hands down, their best release. I've been a fan since I first saw the "Boys In Town" video on MTV back in the 80s. It stands head and shoulders above all of the rest of their catalog, and contains their best single song ever, "Human On The Inside". This was covered (poorly) by Chrissie Hynde / Pretenders. She not only did an inferior version but changed the goddam title to "Only Human" Arrrrrgh!
The Divinyls are unfortunately known best here in the States for their hit single "I Touch Myself". I love the group, but not this song. Furthermore, now that the group is no more, Chrissie Hynde has all but vanished from the earth. No solo CDs, nothing. I finally found a radio interview by Googling her (as opposed to ogling her, another favorite pastime) and she says she's married, living happily in New York (NYC, I think) and says she still sings, referring to some club appearance she did with other 80s stars. Here's hoping at some point she gets more interested in rekindling her music. A toast to Chrissie!

You mean Christina Amphlett, don't you? (Would not vouch that her last name is spelled correctly.....)

Yup. Got my Chrissies confused. It's Christina Amphlett that has disappeared. Obviously, Chrissie Hynde hasn't gone anywhere.

I can see how that could easily happen. Both from roughly the same era, and neither exactly a shrinking violet....
