Talk Talk/Duran Duran – The Big Mouth Mega-mix / The Knock-out Mix (US 12″)

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1991

This is the scare DJ Service Megamix 12″ single from U.S.-based label ON-USound (Later known as Euro-Mixx). The 12″ features on the A-side “The Big Mouth Mega-Mix” by the British band “Talk Talk” who are best known for their 1984 hit “It’s My Life” which is featured as well as the 1982 hit “Talk Talk” in this nearly twelve-minute mega-mix of some of the band’s well-known tracks.

The flip side is for Duran Duran fans and is a must-have. The “Knock-out Mix” which features most of Duran’s biggest hits all continuously mixed. This megamix alone is worth hunting down this 12″ vinyl treasure, you will not be disappointed it’s a Duranie’s dream come true twelve minutes of Duran Duran bliss…

As with most of the ON-USound/Euro-Mixx titles, multiple sources were used to create these megamixes so quality does vary from track to track. I have made every effort to ensure the best-sounding transfer.
