Level 42 – Heaven In My Hands (US 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1988

“Heaven in My Hands” is a 1988 song by the British group Level 42.

It was released as the first single from the band’s album Staring at the Sun and reached number 12 in the UK charts. It was the first Level 42 single not to feature the Gould brothers, Boon and Phil, following their departure from the band the previous year. However, Boon Gould did write the song’s lyrics.

The instrumental introduction, heard on the extended 12″ single version of the song, was heavily used by BBC Sport early in their coverage of the 1989 Wimbledon Championships. The music was also adapted for the Croatian and Slovak versions of the hit television game show Wheel of Fortune.

Pseudo Echo – A Beat For You (Australia 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1984

“A Beat for You” is a song by the Australian pop group Pseudo Echo. The song was released in April 1984 as the second single from their debut studio album, Autumnal Park (1984). The song peaked at number 12 on the Australian Kent Music Report.

AllMusic said, “driving hard rock riffs puncture Pierre Gigliotti and James Leigh’s wall of synthesizers. Vocalist Brian Canham has a darkly erotic voice that only new wave groups seem to breed — imagine a cross between Jim Kerr of Simple Minds and Midge Ure.”
