Releases
editThe song was also included in the following albums: Stay Young 1979–1982 and The INXS Collection 1980-1993.[7] "Night of Rebellion" was only released in Australia and was not as successful as its predecessor single "Stay Young", failing to appear in the charts.
The B-side includes the song "Prehistoria", an instrumental track composed by Kirk Pengilly and produced by Andrew Farriss. The track features loads of dinosaur and bird noises in the background. In New Zealand, the single "Underneath the Colors" was released with the same B-side containing "Night of Rebellion".[citation needed]
Reception
editJohn Teerds of The Age stated, "Night of Rebellion is a pacey song with a good chorus and leads into a side with the emphasis on rockier numbers".[8]
