''The Swing'' is Australian rock band INXS's fourth studio album, released in April 1984. It peaked at number one on the Kent Music Report Albums Chart for five non-consecutive weeks from early April to mid-May 1984. The lead single "Original Sin" was recorded in New York City with Nile Rodgers and featured Daryl Hall on backing vocals. Overall, the album featured a slightly harder-edged sound than their previous releases. ==Background== By 1983 Australian rock band INXS attempted to expand their international profile with their fourth studio album, ''The Swing''.〔 The Sydney-based group had formed in 1977 by three brothers Andrew on guitar and keyboards; Jon on percussion and drums; and Tim Farriss on guitar; together with Garry Gary Beers on bass guitar; Michael Hutchence on lead vocals; and Kirk Pengilly on guitar, saxophone, and vocals. In September 1983 the band travelled to New York City to work with Nile Rodgers (Debbie Harry, David Bowie, Kim Carnes) as producer at his Power Station studio.〔〔 It was the first time the group had recorded outside Australia and provided the album's lead single, "Original Sin" (December 1983).〔 Rodgers asked Daryl Hall of Hall & Oates to guest on backing vocals for the chorus, Hall later recalled "I don't know why because they're good singers, they didn't need me but I did it anyway". All four singles were co-written by Andrew with Hutchence,〔(【引用サイトリンク】Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA) "> 'Original Sin' at APRA search engine ) Note: User may have to click 'Search again' and provide details at 'Enter a title:' e.g Original Sin; or at 'Performer:' INXS〕 while other album tracks were generally written with one or more additional band members.〔 From December INXS were working with Nick Launay (Midnight Oil, Models) at The Manor Studio in Oxfordshire, to complete the rest of the album.〔〔 A cassette extended play of remixes, ''Dekadance'', was also released in Australia. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Swing (INXS album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
