Belinda Carlisle late autumn of 1990, the Go-Go's reunited for a tour to support their first best-of album, "Greatest", including a new recording of the cover song "Cool Jerk" (The Go-Go's original cover was featured on their 1980 European EP, with a second version being released in 1982). A notable feature of the tour was an anti-fur campaign, where the band members supported the animal rights organization PETA. In 1991, Carlisle released her fourth solo album, "Live Your Life Be Free". The album marked somewhat of a return to 1960s-influenced music for Carlisle and included songs mainly written and produced by Rick
Real (Belinda Carlisle album) solo albums. Carlisle won over many critics who had previously reviewed her for her sensed lack of progression and willingness to take a chance with some edgier material. Randy Krbechek wrote "Belinda may not be the deepest songwriter in the world, but she delivers her tunes with conviction, and puts real meaning into her songs of love, life, and heartache. In fact, Real is one of the best albums addressing a woman's perspective on relationships". The album made its debut in the UK Albums Chart at number 9 on October 18, 1993, making "Real" Carlisle's fifth consecutive Top Ten album
