In UK and European markets, "Sister Madly" was released as the second single from Temple of Low Men, also in August.[1]

Background
[edit]Temple of Low Men is Crowded House's second studio album, it was produced by Mitchell Froom and was released in July 1988 on Capitol Records.[1] The album's lead single, "Better Be Home Soon", hinted at a much darker tone than the debut album, Crowded House from 1986. Although it was critically acclaimed, Temple of Low Men did not sell as well in the United States, it did better in Australia and New Zealand. "When You Come", the second Australian single, peaked at #27 on the ARIA Singles Chart.
"When You Come" was recorded by Tchad Blake and mixed by Bob Clearmountain. A live version was recorded at The Roxy, Los Angeles, US on 26 February 1987 and was issued as a three-track CD-EP in September 1993. Another live version was recorded at The Town & Country Club, London, England, on 9 November 1991 and was issued in UK as a four-track CD-EP in February 1992 and on an Australian five-track CD-EP in October 1993.
