"Total Rational!" is a Rational Youth compilation album, released (without authorisation from the band) by the Dutch label Rams Horn, who had previously released the "Cold War Night Life" album and some singles on license from YUL records.

"Total Rational!" contains the entire "Cold War Night Life" album, single tracks and extended mixes, including the unauthorised extended remix of "Dancing On The Berlin Wall". Unfortunately, the running order is much altered from the original album; also, it appears to have been mastered from vinyl copies.
