"Same Direction" sits on Listen Like Thieves, the fifth INXS album, released on 14 October 1985: the record that broke the Australians internationally, and the start of their on-again, off-again partnership with producer Chris Thomas, who produced this track with Steve Churchyard engineering.
Andrew Farriss and Michael Hutchence wrote it. Hutchence sings, Andrew Farriss plays keyboards and guitar, Tim Farriss and Kirk Pengilly add more guitar, Pengilly doubles on saxophone, Garry Gary Beers handles the bass and Jon Farriss the drums, with Ray Cooper sitting in on percussion. That's a lot of hands on one groove, and it's a fair snapshot of a band hitting its stride.
