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.
