Full Moon, Dirty Hearts is the ninth studio album by Australian rock band INXS. It was released on 2 November 1993, through East West Records in Australia[1] and in the United Kingdom by Phonogram`s Mercury Records label.[2] It was followed by the Dirty Honeymoon world tour of 1993–1994.

`Please` featured vocals by Ray Charles; the title track featured vocals by the Pretenders lead singer, Chrissie Hynde, however the latter was not released as a single, while the former was.

The band`s manager, Chris Murphy, arranged to shoot videos for every song on the album. Twelve videos were shot on a small budget by different up and coming Australian directors.[3]

The Japanese edition of the album included a cover of Steppenwolf`s `Born to Be Wild`, which was specially recorded for the April 1993 launch of Virgin Radio in the UK.[4]

Background
As INXS were finishing their previous studio album Welcome to Wherever You Are, they decided not to tour in support for the album; instead the group promised to go straight into the studio to record a follow-up album, then later tour for both albums.[5]

Following the release of Welcome to Wherever You Are, the band spent the next few months promoting the album across various countries in Europe, including the UK, France and Sweden.[6] While promoting the album in Europe, vocalist Michael Hutchence visited then girlfriend Helena Christensen in her home city of Copenhagen in Denmark. The couple were returning home on their bikes one night when Hutchence, who was standing in an alley with his bike, was punched from behind by a taxi driver and fell to the ground, hitting his head on the curb.[7][8] He sustained a fractured skull and suffered the loss of his senses of smell and taste, and spent two weeks recovering in a Copenhagen hospital.[9] In the unofficial biography Michael Hutchence: A Tragic Rock & Roll Story, Australian author Vince Lovegrove wrote, `It had a very strange effect on Michael. The alleged injury also caused the singer to act erratically, abusively and to suffer insomnia`.[10] These conditions had an impact on the production of Full Moon, Dirty Hearts.

Recording and production
The album was written soon after the release and promotion of the band`s previous album, Welcome to Wherever You Are, at the end of November 1992. The album was recorded and produced at Capri Studio[11] on the Isle of Capri in Italy and completed in February 1993. The Capri Studio had just reopened during the recording of Welcome to Wherever You Are and after spotting an ad for it in a trade magazine, Hutchence and producer Mark Opitz insisted that the band should record their next record there.[12] Rehearsals for Full Moon, Dirty Hearts took place at Hutchence`s villa in the south of France in October 1992 where the group were often distracted by other celebrities and supermodels who Hutchence regularly invited.[13] The group decided to set off to the Isle of Capri early, arriving on the island one month after rehearsals. The journey was long and tiring for all members of the band as it took them almost two days of travelling to get there.[14] Once on the island, each member of the band received their own villa, with the studio itself located close by;[14] the studio sat atop a steep cliff, overlooking the Bay of Naples.[14] Guitarist and saxophonist Kirk Pengilly recalls, `It was like a five-star Alcatraz`.[14] Hutchence and Optiz shared a villa on the island with Hutchence living upstairs and Opitz living downstairs.[15]
