INXS will revisit their breakthrough album on a new expanded reissue this year. The 40th anniversary edition of 1985’s Listen Like Thieves is preceded today by the unveiling of a previously unreleased “This Time” demo.
Listen Like Thieves saw INXS soar into the global consciousness, establishing the band as worldwide rock royalty and setting the stage for further glories down the line. It marked the band’s first project with producer Chris Thomas, who would become a trusted collaborator for years to come. The album became the launchpad for “What You Need,” the funk-rock smash that became INXS’s first Top 5 hit on the Billboard Hot 100. (The song eventually went on to double platinum status in the US.)
