BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1981

REQUEST

“The Jam Was Moving” was the second single from Debbie Harry’s debut solo album, Koo Koo, in 1981. It was released with no video and little promotion after Harry’s debut solo single, “Backfired” failed to become a big hit.

The single peaked at #82 on the Billboard Pop Singles chart in the US, but made no appearance on any other major chart.

The 7″ Mix of “The Jam Was Moving” (featuring additional guitars during the intro) appears on the Chrysalis Records/EMI compilation Most of All – The Best of Deborah Harry. The original 1981 12″ mix of “The Jam Was Moving” was included as a bonus track on Chrysalis Records/EMI UK’s 1994 CD re-issue of the Koo Koo album, the extended version of the album track “Inner City Spillover” however remains unreleased on CD.

In 1988, Debbie Harry and Chris Stein themselves remixed “The Jam Was Moving” for inclusion on the Blondie/Debbie Harry remix compilation Once More into the Bleach.

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1983

Rush Rush is a song by the American vocalist Debbie Harry. Released as a single in 1983, it is taken from the soundtrack album of the film Scarface (1983).

“Rush Rush” was released as a single on Chrysalis Records in the US, UK, Germany and most other parts of the world and was Harry’s second collaboration with producer Giorgio Moroder, the first being the charttopping “Call Me” from the 1980 Richard Gere movie American Gigolo.

“Rush Rush” peaked at No. 105 on the US Billboard chart, but became a moderate Udance hit.The single also peaked at No. 87 in UK.

“Rush Rush” was the first single Harry released after Blondie broke up in 1982. It was one of the several side projects Harry worked on in between her solo debut album Koo Koo and her second solo album Rockbird and a music video clip was serviced to video stations, but it was primarily a montage of clips from Harry’s past videos including ones from Blondie. “Rush Rush” was also featured in the 1985 Tom Hanks film The Money Pit.

The song was a reference to cocaine, ‘llello’ being a Latin-American word for cocaine.
