BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1985

Re-Rip Remaster

Originally I posted this one back in 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 30 stylus. This 12″ is also being posted in 24 bit flac for the very first time!

“Swear” was a 1980s pop song originally recorded by Tim Scott (McConnell) and released by Sire Records in 1983. The following year Sheena Easton covered the song for her 1984 album A Private Heaven. It reached #80 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
