INXS – Listen Like Thieves (LP, Album, Club Edition, Stereo, Columbia House, Carrollton Pressing, 1985, Atlantic A1-81277)

Why This Record Matters
Listen Like Thieves was the breakthrough album that established INXS as an international force before their massive commercial success later in the decade. Featuring the hits “What You Need” and “Listen Like Thieves,” the album blends new wave, rock, and pop into one of the band's most acclaimed releases. Original US club pressings remain desirable among collectors of 1980s alternative and new wave.
