"Jackson" is a song written in 1963 by Billy Edd Wheeler and Jerry Leiber. It was recorded in 1963 by the Kingston Trio, Wheeler and Flatt and Scrugg. It achieved its most notable popularity with two 1967 releases: a country hit single by Johnny Cash and June Carter, which reached No. 2 on the Billboard Country Singles chart, and a pop hit single by Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood, which reached No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 39 on Easy Listening.

In 1985 INXS and Jenny Morris recorded a version for INXS’s “Dekadance” EP. There is no original promo for this version, but they later performed the track on Australia’s popular music TV show “Countdown”’s annual awards night. Quality footage and audio of this performance is very hard to come across hence the VCRS has come up with the goodies. Apologies for the show’s end credits but we hope you enjoy it regardless :-)
