As Shawn said there is a few Elegantly Wasted era songs that have not been released. But most of the other stuff has been used...I know what is "in the vault" as I worked for INXS up until 2005...and we used the songs on Kick, X, WTWYA re-issues etc around 2002...if there was all these other great unreleased songs the band would have released more than 1 new studio album in the past 15 years. But as I said there is some unreleased INXS songs with MH but def not 80. And half the members in INXS don't feel comfortable releasing unreleased material as they have said in interviews, as they feel that if it wasn't good enough the first time to include. </p> http://www.michaelhutchence.com.au/home/forum/topic/kick-25th-anniversary-editionbox-set-for-2012#post-3500 Thu, 19 Jan 2012 13:47:37 +0000 hutch4president 3500@http://www.michaelhutchence.com.au/home/forum/ <p>Thanks for making clear Matt.<br /> I guess the 80 unreleased tracks news made it all around the world.<br /> I read about it on a Chilean newspaper in 1997, after MH died.<br /> Must have the clipping somewhere. </p> http://www.michaelhutchence.com.au/home/forum/topic/collectors-news-the-music-of-michael-hutchence-usa-promo-only-cd#post-3499 Thu, 19 Jan 2012 04:36:48 +0000 Matt 3499@http://www.michaelhutchence.com.au/home/forum/ <p><a href="http://www.michaelhutchence.com.au/home/blog/collectors-news-the-music-of-michael-hutchence-usa-13-track-promo-only-cd/" rel="nofollow">http://www.michaelhutchence.com.au/home/blog/collectors-news-the-music-of-michael-hutchence-usa-13-track-promo-only-cd/</a> </p> http://www.michaelhutchence.com.au/home/forum/topic/kick-25th-anniversary-editionbox-set-for-2012#post-3498 Thu, 19 Jan 2012 04:33:30 +0000 powernoize 3498@http://www.michaelhutchence.com.au/home/forum/ <p>yeah, that stuff appears to be on the back burner now. btw, here's the quote i was referring to regarding unreleased content...of course this is from december 1997:</p> <p>a source close to the group confirmed that there are stacks of unreleased material that could eventually be released. </p> <p>"It's just shitloads," said Shawn Deacon, the band's Australian publicist, of the unreleased output. "Through the years they put so much stuff down that didn't make it onto records. </p> <p>"I was talking to their production manager and he said there were four really, really great songs that didn't make it on to [the band's most recent album] Elegantly Wasted that were stronger than several of the ones that did make it on that record."

This article is from when they were still performing with JD. And hardly anyone bought the box set or very best of cd last year as most people have the albums/songs already.</p> <p>The band are planning a 25th anniversary tour of 'Kick' so they will no doubt re-release 'Kick' yet again for like the 6th or 7th time time in countries outside USA. As there was already tour edition in 88, Japanese expanded cd in 1989, Kick US remastered in 2002, Kick Deluxe 2cd in 2004, Kick Remastered 2011, Kick on vinyl 2011...like it would be strange if someone was an INXS fan and didn't already own Kick. </p> <p>There isn't 80 unreleased songs in the vault, most of the unreleased material has been released apart from some Elegantly Wasted period songs. </p> http://www.michaelhutchence.com.au/home/forum/topic/kick-25th-anniversary-editionbox-set-for-2012#post-3493 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 22:15:57 +0000 powernoize 3493@http://www.michaelhutchence.com.au/home/forum/ <p>i just skimmed through the article again and it does mention that the career spanning box will be released at the tail of 2012, so i'm assuming it's not the 10 album remasters box. wish there was some way we could get a confirmation about the box. shortly after michael passed there were around 80 unreleased tracks in the vault.</p> <p>From Music Week magazine 3/5/11</p> <p>The next two years will see an explosion in activity around the INXS catalogue, after Universal Strategic Marketing agreed a deal for the band’s 10 studio albums with Michael Hutchence.</p> <p>The major’s Mercury label previously had the rights to three of the band’s albums but this will be the first time in Europe that the rights to the 10 key catalogue albums – including the 6m-selling Kick – are held by one company.</p> <p>The first fruits of the deal – which is for the world excluding the Americas – will be the re-release of the 10 studio albums physically and digitally on May 30.</p> <p>Universal Strategic Marketing vice president Andrew Daw, who led Universal’s highly successful campaign for the re-release of The Rolling Stones’ Exile On Main Street, said the band’s reputation as one of the key stadium rock acts of the Eighties had declined over the years, with little activity on their catalogue and many albums not even available.</p> <p>“It is the first chance we have had to work the catalogue digitally and physically,” said Daw. “We feel like their back catalogue has stalled for a long period of time. It is important to re-introduce people to them – they and U2 and Guns ’N Roses were the big stadium bands of the Eighties, they haven’t gone on and held that position.”</p> <p>“It is quite a phenomenal catalogue – they have had 30m album sales, 23 UK hits, 17 hits in the US, with seven of them top 10, and 33 hits in Australia,” he added.</p> <p>Key to the campaign will be a live date the band are playing this summer at the Southern Sounds festival in London. The band, who decided to continue after the death of Hutchence in 1997, will headline the event, which concentrates on music from the Southern Hemisphere. Daw explained it is an opportunity for them to play before European promoters and journalists.</p> <p>This, however, will just be the start of two years of INXS activity: Universal is currently working on a new best of for release for September/October, as well as a TV documentary of the band that will include previously unaired footage from a 1997 Brussels gig.</p> <p>2012 will then see the re-release of Kick to coincide with the 25th anniversary of the album’s original release, with Universal prepping multiple formats – from iTunes LP to super deluxe – complete with unreleased material. The year will end with the release of a “career boxed set”. “They have never had a proper INXS boxed set before,” said Daw. “We feel that is something missing in their catalogue.”</p> <p>Daw said the deal – which came about after Chris Murphy took over the band’s management again – was a “really good deal financially” explaining that he believed the catalogue would sell consistently.</p> <p>“I think the catalogue will prove to be rock solid, if you can remind people about the band and hit their nostalgic sweet spots. There are a lot of people who would put Kick as a guilty pleasure,” he said.</p> <p>The 10 albums covered by the deal start with the band’s 1980 debut INXS, running through to 1997’s Elegantly Wasted, their last album with Hutchence. The deal also includes “other bits and pieces”, according to Daw, including live material. </p> http://www.michaelhutchence.com.au/home/forum/topic/hutch-jacket-from-kick-calling-all-nations-world-tours-in-1988#post-3492 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 16:48:44 +0000 hutch4president 3492@http://www.michaelhutchence.com.au/home/forum/ <p>Cool pic!!<br /> I remember dreaming of having this jacket when I was a kid, so I bought the most similar leather jacket I could find...well, actually my parents bought it for me LOL! </p> http://www.michaelhutchence.com.au/home/forum/topic/twenty-questions-for-michael-hutchence-playboy-1993#post-3491 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 16:46:09 +0000 hutch4president 3491@http://www.michaelhutchence.com.au/home/forum/ <p>Nice one Matt!<br /> Hadn't read this in ages! </p>
