Released in 1990, X is Australian rock band INXS's seventh studio album. The title, the Roman Numeral for "10," represents the band's tenth year since their debut album was released in 1980. The album contained such hit singles as "Suicide Blonde," "Disappear," and "Bitter Tears." It was the third consecutive INXS album produced by Chris Thomas following Listen Like Thieves and Kick. The album features a sample of legendary blues-harp player Charley Musselwhite on "Suicide Blonde", and Musselwhite himself playing on "Who Pays The Price". In 2002, a remastered version of the album was released that included five previously unreleased tracks.
