Machinations – Cars & Planes (Australia 7″)

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1989

“Cars & Planes” was the fourth single taken from the third and final album “Uptown” by Australian synthpop band Machinations. “Cars & Planes” failed to chart while the album reached #50 on the ARIA Charts the main Australian music sales chart.

The group had become a popular band on the Australian touring circuit. Their activities were curtailed in April 1989 when a hit-and-run car accident left bandmate Fred Loneragan with a broken neck, multiple cuts, bruises, and concussion. He spent several months recuperating in the hospital. Initially, fellow band members intended to continue whilst Loneragan recovered, however, the group disbanded as various members left to join other local groups.

We could not have Pride month without the Liverpool band Dead Or Alive featuring LGBTQ+ Icon, Pete Burns, And His Impact Upon The World Through His Powerful Presence.

Pet Shop Boys – In The Night (7″ Edit Version) (Limited Edition Germany 7″ Promo)

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1987

NEW 2023 Transfer
NEW Meticulous Audio restoration

Originally posted November 18, 2016

“In the Night” is a song by UK duo Pet Shop Boys, about the subculture known as the Zazous, which appeared in France during the German occupation of France in World War II; concerned with fashion and music, and allied with neither the Nazis and Vichy France nor the French Resistance, they were distrusted by both sides. Neil Tennant, having read about the movement in a book by David Pryce-Jones, asks, in the song, the question of whether this apathy essentially amounted to collaborationism.

The song was scheduled to be released as a single in Germany on March 4, 1987, but was withdrawn with only a 7″ promo being issued. The Artur Baker 7″ edit is exclusive to this release and has never appeared on CD to the best of my knowledge. The full Arthur Baker mix appeared on the album “DISCO”.

The same mix appears on both sides.
