BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1984
Re-Rip Newly Remastered!
Originally I posted this one on February 18, 2011. But for those who may have missed it or if you are a new reader just discovering BTG. I decided to give this one a new rip with my newer Ortofon Super 30 stylus. This 12? is also being posted in 24 bit flac for the very first time!
“Hang on to Your Love” is a song by the English group Sade from their debut album, Diamond Life (1984). It was released in late 1984 as the album’s first U.S. single.
