Episode 68: The Swing and other stories with Philip Mortlock After 67 episodes completed, Bee and I were in for a treat with our latest guest Philip Mortlock. Not only intrinsic in assisting INXS leave the smaller independent label Deluxe that produced INXS’ first two albums, Philip’s massive expertise with other luminary bands such as Cold Chisel and Icehouse paved the way for his artistic prowess to design The Swing, Dekadance and Listen Like Thieves album covers. With clever themes and narratives highlighted on all of the singles, videos and album covers/sleeves, Philip was crucial in introducing the world to the timeless images and vistas that were INXS. Having forged a career that included being a board member with A.R.I.A, producing the inspiring Alberts Documentary and building the Origin Publishing Label, Philip has left an indelible footprint on the Australian entertainment industry. So, sit back and be taken back to a time and place that is most special to INXS fans. Peace and love! Haydn The new episode drops on Sunday, 12 September. INXS Access All Areas is available on Podbean, iTunes, Spotify, TuneIn, and Amazon Music. |

All good things must come to an end.... |
