Product Description
CD Description
"Stay Young 1979-1982" focuses on INXS' formative years, when they established an identity as Australia's hardest working, best loved and most exciting chart act. This generously compiled 43-track, digitally remastered double CD set combines the band's first two classic albums, "INXS" and "Underneath The Colours", with non-album singles and 20 rarities (including 14 previously unreleased tracks) - demos from band archives, live cuts, soundtrack songs & 90's re-recordings of Oz-only hits. With sparklingsound, 32-page colour book and track by track commentary from INXS members, this splendid release is a must for the INXS aficionados.

All the fan of early INXS really needs. It's all here basically, the first two albums, singles b sides and some rarities. Quality varies on these rarities but mostly it's all good. Considering it's an import, it's cheaper than buying all the stuff individually (and some of the stuff is pretty much unavailable, unless you have seriously deep pockets). So all in all, there's plenty to recommend this collection

Tengo que reconocer que nunca me atrajeron demasiado los primeros albumes de INXS, me parecian muy alejados (no solo en el tiempo) de bombas mediaticas y multiventas como "kick" o " X "
pero una revisión mas sosegada, me ha dado la oportunidad de deleitarme con canciones sencillas ligadas al ska, el punkie y un estilo desenfadado, ingenuo y fresco donde ya Michael Hutchence despuntaba en sus maneras, este doble disco merece un minimo detenimiento para cualquier amante de la buena musica de los 80, la producción excelente, donde hay demos ,rarezas, y cuatro versiones de temas antiguos grabadas en capri en el 92 que son pura dinamita, para nostalgicos y a mucha honra!

Stay Young a must have for any INXS er!
10 July 2004
Format:Audio CD
At first I hesitated from buying this CD because of the $. Growing up listening to Shaboo, Swing, Listen like, and Kick I never heard their early stuff until now. This is a must have CD if you even kinda liked INXS. The first disc is the best with "Doctor" jumping right out of your speaker. The sound quality is superior with the digital remastering. This CD really lets you know the band and how they grew up thru the years. The booklet is great with all kinds of cool photos and articles of how they rocked the Aussie pubs and clubs. They had a really sharp early sound which I never knew they had until I listened to this disc. I have a ton of respect for these guys and love their music now more than I did growing up in the 80's. They were way ahead of their time and it is a sad story that Mr. Hutch is no longer with us. Go get this disc! 5 star all the way!! Love and Peace!

Comprehensive CD Set
4 Dec 2002
Format:Audio CD
Just recently purchased this two disc set and I have found it to be a simply unsurpassed culmination of INXS' first recordings from Australia. It's a very insightful look into how the band grew and developed into the band they are today. This is a must have for true INXS fans, to get to know their roots.

Sounds Great - Why were these never released before?
7 Jan 2011
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I love INXS, but they've been way too stingy with their b-sides and unreleased material. Thankfully, they rectify this to the extreme with this album, at least for their early material.
I had quiet and poorly recorded CD versions of INXS, Underneath the Colours, and INXSIVE for 15 years, so I've heard many of these songs before but not all, and they didn't sound anywhere near this good. Plus many of the new-to-me ones are classics! Scratch, Telephone, Reckless Ways, and covers of Pretzel Logic, Ms Shapiro and You Really Got Me are the standouts. Most of the rest are good as well, and only a few are too slow and drag a bit.
The Gift-era re-recordings are interesting as well, but I prefer the original versions. These were mentioned in The Gift's liner notes, but not included in any of the early The Gift singles. Stingy!
Finally, there are some live versions that are all great and the live banter throughout is funny. The early version of The One Thing sounds nothing like the Shabooh Shoobah version, so that's like getting a new song.
I'd strongly recommend this to anyone who likes INXS's early material, or to replace earlier CD versions of INXS and Underneath the Colours. This one sounds better and has a lot of songs that should have been included in those albums.
