The late 80s are the waning years of the vinyl LP. Cassette tapes have taken over thanks to the boombox and the Walkman. More modern talents have abandoned the LP, yet the best talents continue to press their albums on them, thanks to their large user base. One of those more modern bands is INXS. Thanks to their continued loyalty to the medium, they have immortalized themselves to collectors with albums such as their INXS Kick Limited Edition 1988 Aussie Tour Release Vinyl LP Record For Collectors.
Many folks are of the impression that INXS was a 90s group, but actually began their career way back in 1977 as The Farriss Brothers and was one of the many new wave bands of the 80s. They’re a big hit in Australia during the 80s and achieved international success in the early 90s when they embraced the pub rock genre mixed with funk and dance. One of their best internationally acclaimed albums was Kick, released by WEA Records in Australia in 1988 and released in CD, cassette, and LP. Vinyl collectors will be pleased to know that the INXS Kick Limited Edition 1988 Aussie Tour Release Vinyl LP Record For Collectors remain available on the secondary market.
“I think what makes the Kick album so dynamic is that we weren’t so much interested in what everybody else was doing as what we wanted to do. It’s really that simple. Michael and I were extremely focused as songwriters, and the band was very intent on making a series of recordings that we could be passionate about… The melding of funk and rock was always in our heads. We were very excited about the idea of overlaying two types of songs and genres together.”
—Andrew Farriss, INXS
