The Last Wave Of Summer
Released in 1998, The Last Wave Of Summer marked Cold Chisel’s long-awaited return to the studio after 14 years apart. While their legend only grew throughout the 1980s and early ’90s, this album confirmed that the band’s creative fire had never faded — reuniting them as a recording force with renewed energy and perspective.
Debuting at #1 on the ARIA Albums Chart with more than 100,000 advance orders, the record captured a band that had matured without losing the grit, heart and urgency that defined their classic era. Don Walker once again delivered a substantial body of material, while key songwriting contributions from across the group broadened the album’s scope and emotional depth. It remains a standout in their catalogue — often cited by Jimmy Barnes as his favourite Cold Chisel album.
Originally released on CD only, The Last Wave Of Summer was not available on vinyl at the time of its initial release. It first appeared on wax as part of the Cold Chisel vinyl box set, and is now finally available as a standalone 2LP edition — an essential piece of the band’s storied legacy and a powerful statement from one of Australia’s greatest rock acts.
