INXS - Listen Like Thieves (40th Anniversary Edition) Vinyl LP

Artist: INXS
Album Title: Listen Like Thieves
Special Features: 40th Anniversary reissue with brand-new stereo mix by Giles Martin & Paul Hicks, unreleased studio sketches, and rare 1986 live recording from London’s Royal Albert Hall.

Step back into 1985 with the album that kicked INXS into global orbit. Listen Like Thieves was the moment everything aligned; a punchy mix of pub rock roots and polished pop smarts that landed them squarely in the MTV era. This 40th Anniversary Edition brings the energy, ambition and attitude of the original album into fresh sonic focus.

Remixed from the original studio masters by Giles Martin (son of Beatles producer George Martin) and Paul Hicks, this isn’t just a remaster. It’s a full rebuild from the ground up. You’ll hear Listen Like Thieves like never before, with layered detail and studio clarity that throws you right into the room with the band.

This edition includes newly uncovered studio session sketches curated by Martin himself, offering a rare peek into the band's creative process. And as a final treat? A lost live recording from the Royal Albert Hall in 1986, rediscovered in the BBC archives. It’s the sound of a band crossing over into full-blown global stardom.

Did you know?
The phrase “Listen Like Thieves” was inspired by a band in-joke about how they felt audiences at early gigs were soaking up every riff and lyric like “musical thieves.” It stuck around long enough to become the name of one of their biggest records.
