Crazy House – Burning Rain (Germany 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1987

-DjPaulT Recommended 12″

“Burning Rain” is a 1987 New Wave single by British duo Crazy House consisting of David Luckhurst and Peter Parsons. The single was produced by Steve Nye who has worked with artists such as Japan, Bryan ferry, Penguin Cafe Orchestra, and XTC. “Burning Rain” peaked at #43 on April 2, 1988, after spending three weeks on the U.S. Billboard Dance Chart.

In 1989 the band changed their name to Shrine Of Eight and re-released “Burning rain” as “Perfect Crime” which I posted in 2013 you can find it here. Pretty sure the “The Islamix” is the same as the “Generic Mix” on Side A of the “Burning Rain” 12″.
