Extremely interesting post thank you for sharing I have added your site to my bookmarks and will be back
By the way this is off subject but I really like your sites layout.
Hallo Matt,
Do you know how many singles were made from:
- underneath the colours? I don't find the single;
- simple simon – PB 8596?
Greets,
Tom
Hi Tom,
At the moment only have MH's solo discography. Will be adding a look at MH's INXS work in the future. The 2 singles you mentioned are very rare! I do own both of them myself.
Underneath The Colours was only released as a 7" single in New Zealand when INXS toured there supporting Cold Chisel in early 1982.
Simple Simon 7" you mentioned is the French 7" which came with a picture sleeve, the Australian 7" didn't. Again very rare, your best bet is just to keep checking eBay and hope they come up.
appreciated this post!
Hallo Matt,
Are there still songs (unreleased) of Michael Hutchence that can be published?
Greets,
Tom
Hello Matt,
By the way thank you for your quick answer on my first question on your website.
Greets Tom
Hey Tom – yes there is quite a few unreleased MH songs we have especially from his solo album that no one has heard before.
Hello Matt,
Interesting!
I've read that Michale Hutchence also worked with Tim Simenon from Bomb the Bass. They recorded over a dozen songs. Is this true? What will happen with these songs? Are these songs only demos?
Greets,
Tom
