Story To Story, Building To Building: INXS Remix ‘Live Baby Live’ For New Theatrical Reissue

October 14, 2019 by The Second Disc | No Comments

When producer Giles Martin signed on as INXS’ executive music director in 2018 – not long after a 30th anniversary edition of Kick was issued – it was not immediately clear what that entailed. The latest fruits of the partnership have just been unveiled – but, frustratingly, don’t mean as much for the Australian band’s American fans. Next month, INXS will release a completely restored version of Live Baby Live, their 1991 concert film captured on their Summer XS date at London’s Wembley Stadium. Long cited as one of the key examples…

Holiday Gift Guide Review: INXS, ‘Kick 30’

December 20, 2017 by Mike Duquette | 4 Comments

“All we’ve got is this moment,” INXS frontman Michael Hutchence implores in the band’s biggest American hit, “Need You Tonight.” But in the case of the band’s landmark sixth studio album Kick (1987), nothing could be further from the truth. The album, which sold more than nine million copies around the world and spun off five hit singles, has received no less than four expanded reissues in the last 15 years. In 2002, Atlantic Records and Rhino (who oversee the band’s catalogue in North America) remastered and expanded the album with four…

Mystify Me: INXS Ready New ‘Kick’ Box

October 5, 2017 by Mike Duquette | 5 Comments

Come over here: INXS’ landmark album Kick is getting another deluxe reissue for its 30th anniversary. The Australian rockers’ sixth album was the one that propelled the group to their greatest international success, particularly in America, where some six million copies were sold and four singles (“Need You Tonight,” “Devil Inside,” “New Sensation” and “Never Tear Us Apart”) all reached the Top 10 of Billboard‘s Hot 100. And that success has parlayed itself into not one, not two, but three previous reissues: a 2002 expanded disc from Rhino Records (manager of the…
