Kick, the seminal sixth album from iconic Australian rockers INXS, is to receive a deluxe reissue for its 30th anniversary. Due for release on 3 November 2017, the new edition of the landmark record will feature the album mixed in Dolby ATMOS – a pioneering immersive sound technology – by producer Giles Martin.

“You can hear this album like never before,” says Giles Martin of the new 30th-anniversary Edition of Kick. “You can hear Michael [Hutchence] so close to you, you can hear his breath. You feel like you’re in the studio with the band. You have a record that’s 30 years old, but it’s been taken in a completely new direction and you can listen to it in a completely new way and it becomes new again. Great music and great songs, they don’t get old.”

Housed in glorious DVD size “fan-deluxe” packaging, the 30th-anniversary edition of Kick extends previous editions with additional B-sides, rare mixes and bonus tracks over three CDs. In addition, it will feature the album mixed in Dolby ATMOS® by producer Giles Martin and Sam Okell at Abbey Road Studios. This new mix appears on a Blu-ray disc along with all the promo videos. Dolby ATMOS is an immersive sound technology that delivers the best listening experience on any device with a new dimension of clarity, fidelity and space.

“It is really surreal that 30 years ago when three record label companies rejected this album,” says Petrol Records Chairman & CEO, Chris Murphy. “Now, it is revolutionised through the incredible, incredible ATMOS technology through one of my favourite people in the world, Mr Giles Martin.”

For vinyl enthusiasts, there will also be a half-speed remaster of the classic 1987 album cut at 45rpm over two heavyweight, 180g LPs for supreme fidelity, by Abbey Road Studios’ half-speed Mastering pioneer Miles Showell, who says: “Having owned this album since 1987 and even cut the UK 7” lacquers for ‘Need You Tonight’, I was thrilled to be asked to remaster it as a double-45 half-speed mastered LP.”

INXS keyboardist Andrew Farriss says that the new edition boasts “classic, fabulous pop songs that jump out of the speakers, now more than ever before”, adding, “The latest INXS vinyl cuts are an outstanding achievement, especially the Kick album - I was truly amazed to hear INXS’ recordings sounding so incredibly fresh, clear and kick-ass, like vinyl on steroids.”

Originally formed in 1977, INXS’ career spans an extraordinary 40 years, during which they have sold over 40 million records worldwide, including No.1 albums in four different continents. Delivering an avalanche of hits including ‘Need You Tonight’, ‘New Sensation’, ‘Never Tear Us Apart’, ‘Devil Inside’ and ‘Mystify’, Kick sold over six million copies worldwide and made INXS one of the biggest bands on the planet.

I've added the packshot to Pete's post above. We're awaiting Amazon links because this will be getting a general release.

I'm interested IF the sound quality is good. There is a Japan only expanded version that's quite good. The previous USA expanded edition was brickwalled.

Bad news, this is the most brickwalled version yet. Again, the best I've heard is the expanded 1 disc Japan only version.

If you're only interested in the contents of the original album, there is nothing wrong with the sound of the original CD release, which you can find at any thrift shop for a buck or two. There are a lot of copies of this album out there. I imagine most people buying this set are in it for the alternate mixes and versions, or the surround mix.

True, the original cd is the best sounding version out there.

The surround mix is the dealmaker, here.

Even if I had a 5.1 system, I wouldn't want a brickwalled 5.1.

The extra tracks are not a big deal to me in this case, but surround is a very big deal to me, so I'll let my own ears be the judge and would advise everyWAN else to do the same. Almost everything sounds brickwalled to you.

If you don't buy CDs, how are you hearing them?

Are you just listening to downloads, reading waveforms and listening to anything other than the physical edition?

Just asking the last time you actually bought a CD and played one.

1. I currently own a physical cd of the original USA issue.
2. I have owned a physical cd of the Japan issue.
3. There is ZERO sonic difference between a .wav file & a cd; & I mean 0. There might be a 1% difference between a flac file & a cd.

Pete, I am very aware that you often enjoy the sound of the loud compressed masters. Is it POSSIBLE that you may have simply gotten used to them, & that they are your normal?

Oh, & I currently only own around 8,000 physical cd's.

If I listen to a CD and it sounds good, it sounds good.

I much prefer the sound of the 2013 Aladdin Sane remaster to the 1999 one.

Some remasters are improvements over previous remasters. Let your ears be the judge.

I DO NOT ENJOY the sound of COMPRESSED remasters.

I enjoy good sound, as in if it sounds good to me it is good.

There are some brutal remasters out there.

Did I not post just after you about Prince???

I do NOT enjoy my head hurting and ears bleeding, but this happens so rarely I am just curious if you believe the majority of what you hear is poorly done, what enjoyment you get out of listening to these things let alone posting about waveforms and DRs.

Also, I asked if you CURRENTLY buy CDs, not how many you own.

I agree with this statement 100%.

With a DR7.

Listen Like Thieves is their best album IMO.

I couldn't get into The Swing enough, but Shaboo Shoobah and X are really good too.

Kick is damn good, but not their best, though it is by far their biggest.
