Shabooh Shoobah was the third full-length from INXS, and I believe the first with real international distribution (WEA). The big single was “Don’t Change” which was a top 20 hit in the US.
This rarities release includes 4 songs live from the US Festival and a couple of extended mixes. Fan reception was mixed as they had already (2022) put out a Live at the US Festival 1983 which made these tracks duplicates, and left off other potential rarities – but I got a good deal on it and like the songs. Maybe a bit of a Record Store Day one-off.
My copy—via Vinyl Index. in Somerville MA—is what I believe to be the only release of this material so far: a gold vinyl limited edition put out for Record Store Day 2023.
