Undeniably the Whitlams
album by The Whitlams
Undeniably the Whitlams is the second studio album by Australian band the Whitlams, released by Black Yak / Phantom in 1995. Due to popular request, it was re-released in 2001 as Undeniably the Whitlams - Reworked. It is their last album to feature guitarist Stevie Plunder.
Reworked edition
In 2001, Tim Freedman reworked much of the album, dedicating it to the memory of Stevie Plunder and Andy Lewis. Freedman explained that the original recordings and mixings had been rushed, and that these new versions were more comparable to the band's original vision.
Roughly half of the album was left as is, while "Met My Match", "Following My Own Tracks", "1995", "End of Your World" and "Shining" were remixed, often resulting in a marked difference from the originals. As well as this, "I Make Hamburgers" was replaced on the album with its single mix, and two previously unreleased songs, "Why Doesn't Andy?" and "Where Are You?" were included.
Initially, these two new tracks were scarcely anything more than demos, and were eventually fleshed out by Freedman, aided by current Whitlams members Jak Housden and Terepai Richmond.

Why this record matters
The phrase “album by The Whitlams” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 2, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7883038. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1995 and 2001.
Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
