Age of Reason was released on 1988-07-25 by John Farnham. Age of Reason debuted at number one on the Australian charts. A follow up to the album Whispering Jack, Age of Reason reached multiple platinum sales status.
The first two singles from the album "Age of Reason" and "Two Strong Hearts" are Australian top five classics. "Age of Reason" was a number-one hit and "Two Strong Hearts" also performed strongly at number three. The CD version has two bonus tracks including Farnham's cover of AC/DC's "It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)".
The lead single off the album, "Age of Reason", was used in an old promo for Seven News way back in 2000.
