Eurythmics – Right By Your Side (Canada 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1983

A. Front

“Right by Your Side” is a song by the British pop duo Eurythmics. It was written by group members Annie Lennox and David A. Stewart, and produced by Stewart. The track was released as the second single in the UK from Eurythmics’ third album Touch.

“Right by Your Side” was something of a departure from previous Eurythmics songs, and is an uptempo love song which features a calypso music instrumental backdrop, complete with synthesized steel drum and marimba sounds and a horn section.

“Right by Your Side” became the fourth consecutive Eurythmics single to hit the Top 10 of the UK singles chart during 1983. It also climbed to number 29 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.

“Plus Someting Else” is an instrumental/dub mix of the song “Regrets”; this version was included as a bonust track on the 2005 CD remaster of the album Touch. Shemefully the CD version does not include the full outro and is faded out nearly ten seconds early.

Boy George – Sold (Canada 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1987

A. Front

“Sold” was the third single to be released from the debut solo album of the same name by English singer-songwriter Boy George. Like the previous singles from the album “Sold” did well in many European countries but was ignored in America this may be due in part to the fact that George was prohibited by US authorities from travelling to the United States for several years because of his British drug charges. He was therefore unable to be in America to help promote the album and it’s singles. The single debuted on the UK singles chart on July 18, 1987 peaking at #24.

The b-side “Are You Too Afraid?” was produced and co-written by Culture Club band mate Roy Hay the track does not appear on the album. The “Go Go Mix” of “Everything I Own” is the same mix that appears on the US 12″ single titled 12″ Remix. This version is remixed by Freddy Bastone.
