A version with a slightly different track list was released the following year in Germany, under the title What a Life.

Singles

"Oh, What a Life" was released as single from the album.[1] The single was more successful in Europe than America, reaching No.14 on the Italian chart[2] and being remixed and covered as club versions. The success of the single in Europe led to the album being re-released in Europe as What a Life the next year.
