Pete Shelley – On Your Own (US 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1986

“On Your Own” is a single released by English singer, songwriter and guitarist Pete Shelley. The song was taken from Shelley’s fifth solo album Heaven and the Sea (1986). Unlike many of Pete Shelley’s earlier singles “On Your Own” which was produced by American producer Stephen Hague has a more mature polished sound and lacks the nervous pop energy that was a hallmark of those earlier records. “On Your Own” failed to chart in the U.K. but fared much better in the United States where it peaked at #10 on the Billboard Dance chart on August 2, 1986, becoming Pete Shelley’s fifth and final charting single in the USA.
