INXS – Need You Tonight (Liebrand Remix) (UK 12″)

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1988

“Need You Tonight” is a song by the Australian rock band INXS, released as the first single from their 1987 album, Kick, as well as the fourth song on the album. It is the only INXS single to reach No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. It also achieved its highest charting position in the United Kingdom, where the song reached number two on the UK Singles Chart; however, this peak was only reached after a re-release of the single in November 1988. On its first run on the U.K. charts in October 1987, it stalled at No. 58. It was one of the last songs recorded for the album, yet it would arguably become the band’s signature song.

This 12″ is the 1988 reissue (mainly aimed at Europe and especially the U.K. where the single had previously stalled at No. 58 in 1987) which incorporated new artwork and packaging plus remixes Ben Liebrand. There was also another more widely available 12″ and CD single with remixes by Julian Mendelsohn. The Liebrand Remix was only released on 12″ in the U.K.
