Calling All Nations: A Fan History of INXS (First Edition)

This is the incredible journey of six Australian schoolboys - brothers Andrew, Jon, and Tim Farriss, along with school friends Michael Hutchence, Kirk Pengilly, and Garry Gary Beers - who dreamed of forming a band and made it happen in 1977. In 1984, INXS scored their first Australian number - one hit with “Original Sin”. They later achieved international stardom in the late 1980s and early 1990s with hit albums like Listen Like Thieves, Kick, and X, and chart - topping singles such as “What You Need”, “Need You Tonight” (a US number - one), “Devil Inside”, “Never Tear Us Apart”, “Suicide Blonde”, and “New Sensation”. With over 80 million album sales worldwide, INXS ranks among Australia's top - selling music acts. While thousands of journalists have told the band's story, this book is unique as it's written by the fans who love them most. It compiles written and photographic accounts of how INXS has transformed the lives of its biggest admirers.
