Now I am reviewing the Deluxe Edition which has 2 CDs. Firstly the main CD is sounding amazing and top quality which in itself is worth buying this. Secondly the booklet could be better it really just looks like a normal CD booklet but is ok.
Now what makes this special is the 2nd CD. Its starts with an fantastic soul version of Never Tear us Apart and includes amazing versions of Mystify and other favourites plus a few B sides.
If this is the quality of outtakes and new versions that they recorded then INXS needs to release an Anthology from their career. It sounded brilliant while driving around today.

It goes without saying that Kick is a 5 star album.All killer no filler and it still sounds incredible 25 years on.But it's not so much about what's in this Super Deluxe 25th Anniversary Edition of Kick,it's what's missing.Here was an opportunity to gather everything "Kick" related in one box and I'm afraid it can only be called an epic fail.
It comes as a 10" x 10" slipcase.Inside is an 80 page hard back book with relevant pictures and the story of the album.It's not bad and has a couple of pics I've not seen before but it's a very quick read.The most unbelievable thing that's missing from the book are the song lyrics.The four discs are housed in slots inside a gatefold card sleeve which can sometimes be bad for scratching discs.My cds were all ok but the dvd has marks on it already(it arrived in this condition).There's also a huge replica poster for the release of the "Mystify" single,folded up into squares to fit inside the slipcase.All those creases make it unsuitable for framing so you can't do anything with it except look at it once,fold it up again and put it away.And a sheet of stickers,why???(obviously Universal think that Inxs fans are still teenagers).Now onto the music.
Disc one,the album itself is here,nicely remastered for the new millennium.Kick was remastered and re-released in 2011 so I'm guessing that the album tracks are as released in 2011.All good so far.
Disc two rounds up all the demos,out-takes and live cuts from the previous "Kick Deluxe Edition" released in 2004 with the addition of two extra tracks.There's an alternate shorter so called guitar version of "Move On",previously only available on some "Need you Tonight" singles.... Read more ›

Great music, but a shame they made the 'Deluxe' and 'Super Deluxe' editions so different.

How many releases has 'Kick' had now? Correct me if I've missed anything, but we've had the first release in the 80's, the early 2000's deluxe edition, the import version, and the 2011 remaster. Now we get these two sets, the 25th anniversary Deluxe Cd and the Super Deluxe CD+DVD package.
If we're judging this by the music alone, then there wouldn't be a problem. I still get the shivers when I hear this fabulous record. The only problem for devotees is that you might need to give a bit of thought about which version of these anniversary sets you want to buy.
I'm going to upset a lot of people by saying this, but this album was in my view the culmination of everything INXS had worked for up to that point, and everything that made them a great band. After 'Kick' and the ensuing world tour they had a long lay off. The comeback album 'X' was a bit of a disappointment to many, and though they remained (and remain to this day even without Michael) one of the great live acts, playing great shows and selling out places like Wembley, musically they never regained their peak.
"Kick" was the perfect fusion of the funky pop-rock they'd been honing up until then, and managed to transmit so much of the energy they threw off when playing live. Things clicked sort-of on the previous "Listen Like Thieves" LP (a classic side 1 let down by an inconsistent side 2). "Kick", however, is in a different league altogether, with barely a duff track and a few all-time classics. Rest assured the remastering process has made everything sound absolutely crystal clear and brand spanking new (not that it ever sounded bad, since Chris Thomas's production always stood out)....

This is a great album without question. However, I wanted to comment on the sound quality of this remaster. The remaster has had a strange EQ applied to it - sounds like a lift to both the bass and treble akin to activating the loudness buttons on old stereo amps. Some tracks sound OK but others sound slightly odd; artificial if you like. Where it has suffered without question is dynamic range as the remaster engineer has regrettably succumbed to the horrible trend of compressing the recording (aka loudness wars). I also have the original CD from back in the 80's and running both through the Foobar2000 'dynamic range meter' plugin shows the original has a very good overall dynamic range value of DR14 and the new 25 version just DR8 (the higher the number the less compression). What a shame.

Excellent album.....but missing a few tracks\remixes/videos too...not to mention lyrics...also not impressed the way the discs are laid out....would get scratched in no time from playing so often......5 stars for album...but for extra content 3....
