INXS Kick Anniversary Edition coming

1987 album Kick sold 6 million copies and spawned four Top 10 singles in the U.S., turning the Aussie rockers into global superstars. Now, 25 years later, the band this fall will release an expanded edition of the album featuring three CDs and a DVD packed with remixes, demos, “unheard tracks,” a documentary and home video footage.

The band — which last year enlisted new lead singer Ciaran Gribbin — has not officially announced the 25th anniversary reissue, but it is beginning to appear on U.K. music retailers’ websites with a Sept. 17 release date via Mercury Records.

The tracklist hasn’t yet been unveiled, but, according to the reissue’s packaging, the set will include the original album on one CD plus two more CDs filled with “remixes, demos, unheard tracks.” The DVD will include a new documentary on the album, plus previously unseen home video footage and promos. Finally, the set also will include a hardback book called “The Story of Kick,” a poster and a sticker sheet.

This fall’s reissue won’t be the first for Kick. In 2002, the album was reissued in the U.S. with four previously unreleased bonus tracks. Two years later, it was given a two-disc Deluxe Edition reissue in the U.K., with a dozen bonus tracks featured on the second disc.

Re: INXS Kick Anniversary Edition coming

These anniversary packages are really well done in their comprehensive nature. How much is it going to cost?

Saw an item recently that INXS will be recording a new album with their new singer soon. I haven't been able to get into their post-Hutchence era batch of singers so hope that it turns out better than previous incarnations.

I have to say that I am a FULL ON Inxs lover from the beginning up till Listen Like Thieves, KICK was their downfall for me, sorry :-(

Why can't all the albums up to Listen Like Thieves be packaged with rarities like KICK

Re: INXS Kick Anniversary Edition coming

Kick didn't grab me at first.It got better the more I played it,though having said that,its not my fave INXS album-that honour belongs to Listen Like Thieves(with The Swing a very close 2nd).
I actually think X was the last really strong album they made and re.Disc 4 in the Kick anniversary edition-odd the clips for New Sensation and Never Tear Us Apart aren't included.

Re: INXS Kick Anniversary Edition coming

I don't think Warners want to do expanded versions of the albums outside 'Kick','X' and 'Welcome To Where Ever You Are'. That's what I've heard on another forum some time ago.

Unfortunately, very true, Warner will only focus on their 'international' albums that made them worldwide stars. They don't care about the aussie fans of the band before 'Kick'.
