I'm trying to track down INXS's debut release from 1980 on CD. A friend of mine had the vinyl way back when, but I can not find it in any form.
It was more mainstream with the times, but you could hear the blueprint of their sound.
Early albums by bands like that always intriged me. More experimental in their musical infancy. And even if it is not so experimental, it is still interesting to hear something different like that.
Makes me think of old Kansas, Styx, and Genesis albums I first listened to when I dug more in to their catalogue.

I knew Styx changed when their old guitarist, John Curulewski left. I thought he was highly underrated. Many in the rock circles agree.
They gigged up here at a birthday party before they were signed. I was still an infant at the time.
They have not 1 original member left.
James Young only entered the fold with their signing.
Their record company at the time, RCA, thought they needed a second guitarist.
I still liked their albums after Tommy Shaw joined. Especially the song "Come Sail Away".
Their bassist of a brother team, Chuck Ponozzo, drifts in and out of the lineup.
Their comeback seemed to disentagrate after the drummer, his brother John died in 1997.`
Even though they made a promising comeback with a live CD.

Anyway, the first INXS album is mostly out of print.

I think I might try to order it off of Windows Media.
