Another set of great ON-USound megamixes. This time Madonna gets the megamix treatment. A “Classic Megamix” which has appeared on other bootleg singles sometimes reffered to as “Madonna Super Disco Mix”. This megamix is mostly of Madonna’s early 80′s hits. We also get a “New Megamix” which is comprised of the Material Girl’s later 80′s offerings endinding with 1990′s “Vogue”.

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1990

“Red Dress” is the second and final single released from Andrew Ridgeley’s only solo album Son Of Albert. “Red Dress” was the only track on the album to feature George Michael on backing vocals. The single was not succesful and failed to make any impact on the charts. A promotional video was filmed for the single showing a shirtless Ridgeley playing guitar.

Ridgeley now lives near Wadebridge, Cornwall, United Kingdom, in a restored 15th century farm property with his girlfriend Keren Woodward of the pop group Bananarama. The majority of his spare time is taken up by golf and he is a keen member of a local club where he plays off a handicap of 10;. He is also a keen Queens Park Rangers fan.
