Days Of Innocence - The Ultimate Collection is a compilation album by the Australian rock band Moving Pictures, released in 2000.
The compilation—the band's first greatest hits album—is comprised of the entire original 1981 album Days Of Innocence, plus bonus tracks featuring the band's successive singles, as well as several tracks from the band's second album Matinee. The collection also features Moving Pictures' 1984 contribution to the Footloose soundtrack, "Never", written by Dean Pitchford and M. Gore.
The original 1981 version of the album was the fourth most popular album of the year in the band's native Australia, after Men At Work's Business As Usual, Human League's Dare, and the soundtrack to Chariots of Fire. The collection features their biggest hit, "What About Me", which was the second biggest hit of 1982 in Australia, after Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger". Moving Pictures' hit won "Best Single" at the 1982 Countdown Awards. In the U.S., "What About Me" was a top 30 hit during its lengthy first Hot 100 chart run in 1982, and narrowly missed hitting the top 40 a second time upon its re-release in 1989.
