BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1987
“Heat of the Night” is a song written by Canadian rock musician Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance and performed by Adams. The song became the most successful song from Adams’s album Into the Fire in 1987. It was released as the first single from Into the Fire and reached number 6 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and number 2 on the U.S. Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.
The song is also featured on Adams’s 1988 live concert album Live! Live! Live! and his greatest hits albums So Far So Good and Anthology.
The song is very popular among Bryan Adams fans and it won the Canadian Music Publisher’s Association Rock Song Of The Year Award. According to Billboard magazine, it was the 84th most-listened-to song of the year.
The song was partly inspired by the film noir classic The Third Man, starring the actor-director Orson Welles. The darkness of the lyrics was further influenced by a trip Bryan and Jim Vallance took to Berlin in March 1986, before the wall came down.

Good Paul, I still remember your visit to Santiago, from Chile, thank you very much for this matter, that you are well, and of course to all who are part of this community.
Great post. thank you Paul!. But, it is possibly to post a Scan without obi banderole?
This is the first time I listen this track in 12 inch version!!!
Appeared in the episode “Knock, Knock… Who’s There?” of the TV series Miami Vice.
Thank you so much Paul!
Wow thanks Paul!! Anything from Bryan Adams, especially the Reckless to Into The Fire period, is always welcome! What a rare find.
You’re welcome, Retro Hound 🙂
Most excellent choice Paul. Never heard this mix before so I am intrigued. Love when you post rock records. And speaking of which, this morning I was listening to your Pat Benatar rips along with Animotion. Gosh, I love and live for all you do!
Jeff
Thank you, Jeff this one is a really solid mix with a catchy hook. 🙂
I love this track. I actually like the whole album ‘Into The Fire’, quite underrated. Bryan Adams isn’t really a 12 inch remix artist, but this one is a classic (for me). Thanks Paul.
You’re welcome, Stefano 🙂 The track length is 5:33 this looks to be a different mix than what appears on other releases.
For this release A&M Japan chose to cut off the first 53 seconds of the original extended remix. It’s not a different mix to my ears. Kinda strange…
that is odd still makes it exclusive to japan.
Sure does!
This Japanese mix is missing the FIRST 53 seconds…those 53 seconds are AWESOME with an acappella, echos, breaks, etc. What a travesty to exclude! Check out the longer mix on youtube.
