Eternal Nightcap is the third studio album by Australian band The Whitlams, first released by Black Yak Phantom in 1997. Critics praised the band's unique pop–rock style as an impressive step up from their last album, Undeniably The Whitlams. The album not only achieved critical acclaim but also commercial success as it became the biggest selling independent album in Australian history.
Eternal Nightcap includes typical rock songs ("Where's The Enemy"), piano ballads ("No Aphrodisiac", the Charlie trio), classic pop tunes ("Melbourne", "Laugh In Their Faces"), and even a Bob Dylan cover ("Tangled Up in Blue").
A limited edition vinyl LP of Eternal Nightcap was released in 2006, with only 500 copies being pressed. Notably, "Love is Everywhere" and "Tangled Up in Blue" were left off this version of the album.
On December 3, 2006, it was announced that Eternal Nightcap was voted number 27 in Australia's Favourite Album.[1]
On August 6, 2009, The Whitlams played Eternal Nightcap in its entirety for the first time, with the exclusion of "Tangled up in Blue", at the Karova Lounge in Ballarat.
In August of 2009 they played the entire album in full before moving on to various other hits, first at The Corner Hotel in Victoria and then at the Tivoli in Brisbane.
Tim Freedman has been quoted at being surprised at the success of an album that has a picture of the lead singer urinating on the cover.
