1984 was the breakthrough year for INXS, their album The Swing has spent five weeks at #1 in Australia, and the band had started to make real inroads in the USA and Europe thanks to the Nile Rodgers produced single "Original Sin"
To celebrate The Swing selling 250,000 copies in Australia, the band released DEKADANCE, a remix collection available only on cassette with six different covers, one for each band member.
