INXS has offered up another preview of their upcoming 40th anniversary deluxe edition of their album Listen Like Thieves.
The latest taste is a previously unreleased studio demo of the song “Kiss the Dirt.” It is the second track released from the deluxe edition, following a live performance of “Biting Bullets."
Listen Like Thieves (40th Anniversary Deluxe Edition) will feature a brand-new remix of the album by Giles Martin and Paul Hicks, along with unreleased outtakes and demos. There will also be a new interview with the band, plus a newly unearthed BBC recording, Live From The Royal Albert Hall, London, 1986.
In addition to the three-CD/LP deluxe edition, there will be a two-CD extended edition, which includes the new mix and the CD of B-sides, remixes and live recordings, as well as a single LP edition with just the remix.
All versions will be released May 9 and are available for preorder now.
INXS — Michael Hutchence, brothers Andrew, Jon and Tim Farriss, and Garry Gary Beers — released Listen Like Thieves on Oct. 14, 1985. It was the band's fifth studio album and was considered to be their international breakthrough. It featured the Aussie rockers' first top-five single, “What You Need," with the album reaching #11 in the U.S.
