Prince – Purple Medley (US 12″ Promo)

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1995

“Purple Medley” was a stand-alone single, released in March 1995 to coincide with Prince’s European ‘Ultimate Live Experience’ tour. It was simultaneously released with The Sacrifice Of Victor and The Undertaker home videos.

The track is a mix of many hits and well-known songs from Prince’s career. Some of the pieces of music are samples, while others are re-recorded for the mix. Some of the additional instrumentation is credited to The New Power Generation. The “Purple Medley” consists of snippets from the songs: “Batdance”, “When Doves Cry”, “Kiss”, “Erotic City”, “Darling Nikki”, “1999”, “Baby I’m a Star”, “Diamonds and Pearls”, “Purple Rain” and “Let’s Go Crazy” and fades for the edit. The full version continues with “Sexy Dancer”, “Let’s Work”, “Irresistible Bitch” (with the music of “Sexy MF”), “I Wanna Be Your Lover”, “Alphabet St.”, “Thieves in the Temple”, the bassline to The Time’s “777-9311”, Sheila E.’s “A Love Bizarre”, “If I Was Your Girlfriend”, “Raspberry Beret”, “Little Red Corvette”, “Cream” and “Peach”.

The song performed rather poorly in the charts worldwide and received very little night airplay in the US on radio station mixshows. It peaked at number 84 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 74 on the R&B chart. In the UK, the medley reached number 33.

Beat Rodeo – Everything I’m Not (US 12″ Promo)

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1986

“Everything I’m Not” is a 1986 single by American band Beat Rodeo from New York City. The band’s sound has been described as Country, Rock, alternative, and blue-eyed soul with some thrown in. The single was produced by Scott Litt who produced six albums for R.E.M. in the late 1980s and early to mid-1990s during the band’s most successful period.

Although “Everything I’m Not” got some airplay at college stations, none of Beat Rodeo’s albums or singles were hits, and IRS dropped them from the label; the band broke up soon after that.

“Everything I’m Not” was taken from the band’s second and final LP Home in the Heart of the Beat. There was not a music video produced for this single.
