It was actually released in Australia on the CROCODILE DUNDEE OST as a 7″ version, and on the B-Side of the LISTEN LIKE THIEVES 12 inch single as an Extended Remix version. IMO – the extended remix is AWESOME!!! Some of the best drumming by Jon Farriss in the middle of the track and the ending just POWERS!!! That would be the version that should go on any so called “definitive INXS” release, which considering their catalogue would be quite a set indeed!!!

Not to add to the mess – but –

Different World (12″ Mix) was a cassette single bonus track to the US “Never Tear Us Apart” release. Therefore, a 12″ of a b-side (or non-album track, take your pick…)

[...] leave a comment » It might be seen as unfair to criticize the catalogue-oriented decisions of INXS. Since losing lead singer Michael Hutchence in 1997, they’ve tried hard to find their way – finding a new singer through a reality show, recording an album with him, prepping a new album with a rotating stable of lead singers and so on. Rhino, the label that controls their back catalogue in the U.S., has released a lot of compilations in the interim as well, plus a few reissues of their late ’80s/early ’90s work (reissues that pale in comparison to some of their overseas counterparts).

It dawned on me the other day, but how about a reissue Listen Like Thieves?

Disc one-the remastered version of the original album
Disc two-a DVD of their MTV concert from the Weekend Concert?

You might also include “Never Tear Us Apart (Video Mix)” This was never on a disc, but I remember that the music video from back in the day had an extended string/keyboard intro that was really quite lovely.

I respectfully disagree that Rhino can do a good job on almost anything anymore…they are dead, and became so when they kicked Bill Inglot/Dan Hersch to the curb, IMO.

Their Handmade stuff is just starting up again, but they’ve lost a lot of lead to the Hip-O Select crew over the last couple years.

I have thought of buying that import deluxe set many times but always end up holding out for the inevitable “new” deluxe version which never seems to arrive. Your proposed track list would be great. I have some of those aforementioned cuts on the various 12″ singles and the like but to have them all in one place would be sweet. And I don’t have that cut from Crocodile Dundee so now I need to hit Ebay for that single. Let’s hope for new remasters of the whole catalogue soon. Are there any other albums besides Kick and X that got the remaster treatment?

The closest anyone ever got to any other expansions of INXS records was a double-disc set on Raven Records in Australia: “Stay Young 1979-1982 (The Complete Deluxe Years.” It had everything from the band’s first two LPs (INXS and Underneath the Colours), all the other single-only tracks, demos and a good helping of live cuts. If it was ever released in the U.S. it was as an import, but I’ve never seen a copy in my travels along the East Coast.

Thanks for the info. I’ve often wondered why the only real remaster was Kick-it is the only one I see at local shops. Other than the iPod ready Greatest Hist packages, it seems that it was a “one and done” remaster for the band.

Are there any more “Deluxe Editions” that are available overseas that were not released stateside?

There is also a live INXS show available for download Rhino as well.
