Australia's Music Charts 1988–2010 (PDFed.). Mt. Martha, VIC, Australia: Moonlight Publishing. p.23. Rolling Stone critic Laura Fissinger wrote that Different Light finds the Bangles "using less hook-happy song structure and more modernized production" than on their 1984 debut All Over the Place, "covering their roots without burying them ten feet under." [16] She disagreed with objections to the more "deliberate, sophisticated and airwaves ready" nature of the production and felt that the album "puts then and now in significantly better balance", while also finding that the band had advanced "past the fan-apes-idol phase" in their musicianship. [16]

All this went some way to attracting the attention of Prince, who gave them " Manic Monday" originally written for his group Apollonia 6. "Manic Monday" went on to become a number-two hit in the US, the UK and Germany, outsold at the time only by another Prince composition, his own " Kiss". The band's second album, Different Light (January 1986), was more polished than its predecessor, [ citation needed] and with the help of the worldwide number-one hit " Walk Like an Egyptian" (written by Liam Sternberg), put the band firmly in the mainstream, reaching number two on the Billboard 200. [17] The song was sent to them in midsession and the group was divided about whether it would be a failure or a success. When the song was released, the group was amazed to discover that it brought them a new audience of female fans, most of them very young. Commented Michael Steele to a Nine-O-One Network Magazine writer: "When I go out now it is usually girls who recognize me." [17] Three additional hit singles released from the Different Light album were: " Following" (top 40 in Ireland), " Walking Down Your Street" (number 11 on the US Billboard Hot 100) and the wistful " If She Knew What She Wants", written and first recorded by Jules Shear (which reached 29 on the Hot 100 in the summer of 1986 and was in the German top 20 for 13 weeks).

By 2000 we had already starting playing live shows and becoming more visible. We had been kinda working behind the scenes for a year and a half before that. It think that part of the clamoring for remasters is that most other bands of considerably smaller commercial stature have remastered their catalogue, so The Bangles not doing it is considered almost like a rejection of sorts by the label(s) or the band itself.

We also don't know if circumstances surrounding the rights transfer precludes either Sony or Universal from remastering the album and releasing rarities, or if some or all of the band itself is at fault for simply not wanting to revisit their 80s material. In 1981, Hoffs and the Petersons recorded and released a single (" Getting Out of Hand" with "Call on Me" on the B side) on DownKiddie Records (their own label). The Bangs were signed to Faulty Products, a label formed by Miles Copeland. [12]
