The Last Wave
By January 1983 the Riptides decided to disband: they had enough of performing. Callaghan recalled in December 2014, "There were other things that were going on in the band, you know, drugs, and I just thought nah, I've got to stop this, it's crazy. It had gone away from its original kind of vibe, anyway." In July 1983 Regular issued a compilation album, "Riptides" (a.k.a. "The Last Wave"), with the track list selected by Callaghan. Callaghan and Leitch had recorded a new track, "The Wedding Song", for the album.
