In their own country, the group reaches their commercial climax with the triple live-album URK, released in october, with the hit Adieu, Sweet Bahnhof. URK is Holland’s first platinum triple LP. The video URK is recorded during a concert at the Amsterdam Stadsschouwburg.

In '89, Nits (as they call themselves from now on) get the BV Popprijs as well as an Gouden Harp and another Edison for Urk.
