Angie Gold – Eat You Up (Japan 12″)

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1985

“Eat You Up” is a song by British singer-songwriter Angie Gold, written by Gold and Anthony Baker and released in 1985 by Passion Records (U.S.).

The single peaked at No. 30 on Billboard’s Dance Club Songs Chart on August 17, 1985, after spending six weeks on the survey, “Eat You Up” would be Gold’s only U.S. Charting single. It found more success in Japan, where it was titled “Suteki na High Energy Boy” (素敵なハイエナジー・ボーイ, Suteki na Hai Enajī Bōi, “Nice High Energy Boy”) and spent four consecutive weeks at No. 1 on Oricon’s international singles chart in early 1986. Other artists in Japan, Hong Kong, and South Korea also adapted the song in several languages.

Gold later re-recorded the song with producer Ian Levine for her 1995 compilation album The Best of Angie Gold: Eat You Up.

Great HI-NRG classic! The instrumental is vinyl-only, so this remaster is a great addition. Thank you, also for asking us for musical ideas.
