At the 1982 Countdown Australian Music Awards, Time and Tide was named Best Australian Album, despite being a New Zealand album. [2]

The album was re-released in 2006 along with all of Split Enz's studio album catalogue. Some albums were rearranged, reordered or adjusted; Time and Tide, however, was left unchanged.
