The Best of INXS is a
greatest hits album by Australian
rock band
INXS, released on 4 June 2002 by
Atlantic Records and
Rhino Entertainment. It featured digitally remastered versions of tracks from previous albums and reached #144 on the US charts, selling more than 373,000 copies since its release. The compilation features most of their hit singles, as well as two previously unreleased tracks, "Salvation Jane" and "
Tight". "Salvation Jane" is an outtake taken from the X sessions in 1990; the 2002 remaster of X features the song's original demo. "Tight" was written by songwriter and multi-instrumentalist
Andrew Farriss and recorded by the band during the sessions for Welcome to Wherever You Are in 1992. The song was reworked by the remaining members of INXS in 2002 after the death of vocalist
Michael Hutchence in 1997. The nearly identical counterpart compilation released in the same year, Definitive INXS, was a moderate chart success in the UK, peaking at #15.
