Rhino EntertainmentINXS will celebrate the 30th anniversary of its most successful album, Kick, by releasing a special deluxe edition of the multiplatinum collection on November 24. The expanded set features three CDs and a Blu-ray disc, and includes bonus remixes, alternate versions, demos, B-sides, live performances, videos and more.
Released in October 1987, Kick featured four top 10 hits, “Need You Tonight,” “Devil Inside,” “New Sensation” and “Never Tear Us Apart,” which peaked, respectively, at #1, #2, #3 and #7 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album itself reached #3 on the Billboard 200 chart, and has sold more than 6 million copies in the U.S.
The Kick 30th Anniversary Edition contains a CD with a remastered version of the original album, and two other CDs featuring various bonus tracks. In addition, a special half-speed remaster two-LP vinyl version of Kick, pressed on 180-gram vinyl, will be released on December 15.
“Classic, fabulous pop songs that jump out of the speakers, now more than ever before!” INXS guitarist Andrew Farriss says about the 30th anniversary edition of Kick. “The latest INXS vinyl cuts are an outstanding sonic achievement, especially the Kick album. I was truly amazed to hear INXS’ recordings sounding so incredibly fresh, clear and kick-ass, like vinyl on steroids…”
Kick is the first in a series of special releases INXS is planning this year, which also marks the 40th anniversary of the band’s formation and, sadly, the 20th anniversary of founding frontman Michael Hutchence‘s death.
