Details

[edit]

This was Kuepper's last release on Capitol Records in the US. He later said, "They got Everybody's Got To as a finished album, so up until that point, the control was quite reasonable. They were just lax with their promotion. America was where the deal was signed and it was important we had a lot of enthusiasm from head office."[2]

Reception

AllMusicStarStarStarStarHalf star[3]

The AllMusic review by Dan LeRoy awarded the album 4½ stars and states "this set of tight, polished alt-rock was his best outing of the '80s, and is perhaps his finest album ever... Anyone wanting to explore Kuepper's substantial and often superb back catalog will find Everybody's Got To the perfect place to start".[3]

In 1990, Kuepper said the album was "the biggest-selling record I've done in this country [Australia] - even including the first couple of Saints records. But I still haven't had a gold record in this country."[2]
