Burning The Ground Exclusive 1984
Celebrating Pride 2021
Totally Obscure 80s!
Not only is this 12″ a fantastic pick to end Pride 2021 it’s also a Totally Obscure 80s record as well. I bought this record mainly because the sleeve and title intrigued me, many times I will buy a record just for its artwork and imagery, this is one of those records.
“We Are Invincible” is a record that I could not find any information about at all other than 501’s only released two singles according to Discogs.
I hope that you enjoy this record it’s a HI-NRG track that I can imagine would have been a hands in the air late-night floor filler.
Happy Pride everyone.

You’ve piqued my interest. Thank you, Paul 🙂
Hey Paul!
I haven’t commented for a very long time, but I’m still appreciating your fantastic work! 🙂
This “totally obscure” track wasn’t obscure for me at all. My favourite radio station in Germany regularly used the instrumental version as background music for a chart countdown or something during the 80’s. So I cannot count how often I heard it back then. I also own a copy of the original 12″!
Nice to see/hear ist here. 🙂
Best wishes

Wonderful work Paul! Thank you this is awesome, never heard of this one before :-).
Quick question, are you guys hearing a left channel distortion in the louder parts – for example 2:15-2:30 into track 1?
Thanks for this Paul. Do we have any clue who the vocalist is on this? I note that it is Princess singing on their second release…but not sure this is her.
Hi, Ian I do not know who the vocalist is maybe someone who reads this post will let us know. Thanks for the info on their second release I had no idea Princess was on that song.
Yes ‘Let The Night Take The Blame’ Featuring Desiree Heslop: Desiree Heslop (born 27 November 1961), best known as Princess, is a British singer who found chart success in the mid-1980s
WoW! Thanx for this music, i never heard before! I love this style, i love all rhythmic and danceable melodies. More, more, more! But I am not dissatisfied 🙂 Thank you your work! Have a great and nice day!

You’re welcome, János 🙂
Fabulous Paul! What an attention grabber this cover is!!! So much like you, I too would buy records sometimes just based on the artwork alone. And, there were times that the music would be great as well. Thanks for a great time this month to celebrate Pride in all its musical incarnations. It has been a wonderful celebration of people and culture. Thank you! I can’t wait to hear this one. Call me: INTRTIGUED!!!!
