BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1985

UK Front Sleeve

US Front Sleeve

“We Close Our Eyes” is a song by British pop band Go West, composed by both members Peter Cox and Richard Drummie. It was the first single from their debut album Go West. “Missing Persons”, also from the album, was the B-side. The single was promoted by a music video directed by Godley & Creme.

The “Total Overhang Club Mix” was later included on the 1985 compilation Bangs & Crashes. The standard version appeared again on Aces and Kings: The Best of Go West in 1993. “We Close Our Eyes” spent fourteen weeks on the UK Singles Chart, peaking at number 5 in April 1985. In the United States the single reached 41 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 5 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart.

This UK 12″ contains the rare 6:41 “Total Overhang Mix” which includes a string intro. This mix is also known as “Complete Underhang Mix”. As a bonus track I have included the more common “Total Overhang Club Mix” 5:51 which is taken from the US 12″.
