Revenge is the fifth studio album by British pop duo Eurythmics , released on 29 June 1986 by RCA Records in the United Kingdom and on 14 July in the United States.[7] [8] Following on from their previous album, Be Yourself Tonight , Revenge continued further in this direction as the duo embraced a more "rock band" style. The album spawned four singles and was a commercial success. The fourth and final single, "Missionary Man ", won the 1987 Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal .[9] Its release was supported by an extensive world tour. A 1987 concert from the Australian leg of the tour was also released on home video as Eurythmics Live .
On 14 November 2005, Sony BMG released remastered versions of each of Eurythmics' eight studio albums, containing bonus tracks and remixes. The bonus track "Revenge 2" is a radically different remake of "Revenge", the closing track of the duo's 1981 debut album In the Garden . A line from the song ("She said revenge can be so sweet") is also heard at the end of "A Little of You".
