Recurring Dream is a compilation album by rock group Crowded House, released in 1996.^[1] It includes most of their singles, as well as three new songs, "Not the Girl You Think You Are," "Instinct," and "Everything Is Good For You." Paul Hester returned to the band to play drums on the three new songs after having left the band in April 1994, however is not noted on the sleeve as a band member and does not appear on the photographs in the artwork. The album reached eleven times platinum status in Australia in 2006. The song "Recurring Dream" was not included in this compilation because it was never released on a Crowded House studio album as it was co-written by Craig Hooper, who left before the band released any recordings. It was later released on Afterglow, Crowded House's rarities collection.

Chart performance

Recurring Dream rose to #1 in the Australian ARIA Albums Chart in 1996 when it was released. In the following ARIA Music Awards, the group was awarded Highest Selling Album ahead of Savage Garden, which collected the vast majority of that year's other awards. The award was presented by Dave Graney who joked in his presentation speech that sometimes it's "sometimes just about the money". The album performed well internationally, spending 14 weeks on the Norwegian charts with a two-week peak of #5^[2] and 10 weeks in the swiss charts with a peak of #17.^[3] The album also appeared in the top 50 in the Austrian charts.^[4] and the Swedish charts.^[5] In 2007, the album reappeared in the charts in the same week that Time on Earth was released and rose in the next week to #44, which is likely to be as a result of the long gap between albums by the band and people wanting to become either familiar with the original work, or to re-familiarise themselves.^[6]

Special Edition Live Album

With selected copies of Recurring Dream, a full length special edition live album of Crowded House songs was included. The songs were selected by Split Enz member Nigel Griggs who, according to the album's sleeve, relates that Finn asked him in passing if he would like to put together the selection for the live album. He advises after briefly accepting, days later, hundreds of cassettes of Crowded House performances arrived for him to make his selections. The mixes featured on the live album are not adjusted at all from the mix from the recording and nothing was adujsted in converting the music to CD so that the performances are exactly as they were originally. Only four of the songs from the live album were on Recurring Dream. This is to provide listeners a different range of Crowded House music and to allow the "fan favourites" not present on the album to be featured, such as "Sister Madly," "Hole In the River" and "Fingers of Love." All songs written by Neil Finn unless marked otherwise.
