Background and release edit
After the group's split in 1990, they decided to reform in 2001,[1] minus original member Dianne Swan. The group contacted fellow New Zealand singer Sharon O'Neill and released a cover version of her 1980 single "Asian Paradise", which peaked at number 16, surpassing O'Neill's solo peak position. A tour commenced in September 2001 and an album was recorded and released as Live in Paradise in November 2001.[2]
