BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1981
“Prince Of Darkness” was the third single released by English new wave band Bow Wow Wow. The song was only released as a single, but a mostly instrumental version made it on the corresponding album as “sinner! sinner! sinner!”. “Prince Of Darkness” debuted on the UK singles chart August 15, 1981 peaking at #58.
For the 12″ “Orangutang” is not listed on the sleeve or labels and is mixed with “Sinner, Sinner, Sinner” I did not seperate the tracks in order to keep the integrity of the original vinyl.

You’re welcome Arthur 🙂
The Flac is currently including the MP3. I just deleted that section as had already downloaded it in MP3.
Thanks for letting me know I have fixed it 🙂
Again, you always come up with the perfect choices Paul. So great to follow Haysi Fantayzee’s “Shiny Shiny” from yesterday to this one by Bow Wow Wow!! I also love the title of this track, “Prince of Darkness” which is perfect for the Halloween season. It also makes me think of my beloved black cat, Eclipse, whom I call affectionately, my Prince of Darkness.

Wow, thanks Paul.
You’re welcome Omar 🙂
