Review:
Demos and out-takes recorded in sessions between 1976 and 1983

The band is often the subject of somewhat classist disdain for its particular popularity among one generation of working-class men (roughly, those born in the 60s and 70s). This is in spite of the fact that they were one of the most broadly popular and best-selling bands of the day, often featured on the nationwide pop show Countdown, and were widely acknowledged as one of Australia's most accomplished live acts. Cold Chisel remains one of Australia's highest-selling bands, with sales in excess of 5 million by the beginning of the 2000s.

Cold Chisel weren't just a band, they were a lifestyle for many of their followers, who were known as some of the roughest in the land. This gave Chisel their hard living approach to their music and made them a tough live band as well. More than 30 years after they originally played together, they attract generation after generation of new listeners. This is also evidence of Chisel's dominance of the pub rock era. They are the only Australian band to have sold more records after breakup than before and are among other bands that have become transgenerational. "Khe Sanh" consistently ranks highly in lists of Australia's most popular songs and their music remains a staple of rock station playlists. The Ian Moss song "Never Before" (from the East LP) was chosen by FM rock station 2JJJ (Triple Jay) as the first record played on-air when the station made its transition from AM to FM in 1980.

Other Cold Chisel classics which still frequently get airtime on radio and in bars/pubs include Cheap Wine ( 1980 ) , Forever Now ( 1982 ) .

Despite the continued dominance of Walker, during Chisel's later career all four of the other members began to contribute songs to the band, with Moss and drummer Steve Prestwich both emerging as highly accomplished songwriters in their own right. Barnes and Small also contributed significant songs to the group's repertoire and Cold Chisel is one of the few Australian rock bands to score hits with songs written by every member of the group.

Alongside contemporaries Midnight Oil, Cold Chisel was renowned as one of the most dynamic live acts of their day and from early on in their career Cold Chisel concerts routinely became sell-out events. The band was also famous for its wild lifestyle, and the hard-drinking Barnes (who has since given up alcohol) had a well-earned reputation as one of the true wild men of Australian rock.
