BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1987
Re-Rip Remaster + Bonus Track
“Hooked On Love” was the third single released from Dead Or Alive’s third album “Mad, Bad and Dangerous To Know” continuing their association with the Stock Aitken Waterman production team.
“Hooked on Love”, suffered from very little promotion due to what the record company felt was a “Gothic” overtone that had been added to the song in a post-production remix. The single barely managed to scrape into the UK top 70 peaking at #69. “Hooked On Love” was only released in Europe, Australia and Japan.
As a bonus track I have added the live version of “Cake And Eat It” taken from the Ltd. Edition UK “Brand New Lover” 12″. All of the live tracks were recorded in 1985 at the Hammersmith Odeon.
This japanese first pressing contains a large fold out poster.

I have this on 12″, still sounds fantastic. Would love to download the tracks, I can see the password, but what is the username?
Please read the site FAQ.
Many thanks for sharing!
In case you’re interested in my music shares, you can find them on SoulSeek, user doomkrad. 😉
Thanks Paul. Another 12″ can be retired. Can’t wait for more DOA at a later stage.
Spoke too soon as it won’t download. I have been trying for over a month.
Yay I finally got it. Thanks for all the work that you have done to keep the downloads happening. Your efforts are appreciated.
Thanks so much for these releases! The only complaint I have about this one (and it’s not your encoding…it’s a bang up job EVERY time!) is that I was kinda hoping the “La Vie En Rose” mix would have been a single edit of the main remix…but it’s just the album version…
Should also let you know that i play a lot of these remixes on my 80s radio show…and my listeners LOVE these mixes! Thanks again for posting these!!
Hi Rick, just a quick note: the La Vie En Rose mix, which is identical to the Burns2 7″ version, and also used for the official video, is _not_ the album version: the middle eight section (from 2:12 in Dj PaulT’s rip) has additional lyrics, that are absent from the album version. You’re not the first one making such mistake – even the guys who picked master tapes for That’s the way I like it – Best of DOA weren’t able to pick the right one, and put the album version in the collection… making the 7″ version of HOL… Read more »
I took another listen…and I indeed stand corrected 🙂
My favourite DOA song!!! (Or is it You Spin Me Round…?)
Anyway, thanks a lot for such a great 12″. I have the UK 7″ somewhere, and according to discogs.com the B1 track on that one and the Japanese 12″ were recorded live in different places:

Anyone knows if they’re different versions?
It was written somewhere that the guitarist from Dead or Alive messed around with the same technology that Bon Jovi’s guitarist did to get the same sound. If you ask me, it sounds great for the remix. This was a sleeper single, but on of my fav’s off the Mad Bad album for sure.
I actually really like the remix of this track. I think it took it from an ok album track to a much better sounding single. I laughed when I first heard it thinking the start sounded like that Bon Jovi single…
Thanks for the up, mate. Appreciated!
Lol dave I thought the exact same thing. I agree the remix did improve the track 🙂
We are Hooked On DOA!!!
It’s always nice that you re-visit your earlier rips and upgrade them.
And I can surely tell the improved sound quality, Paul.
Thanks for your continual strive for excellence!
You’re welcome Ric. Thanks for the compliment I was wondering if theses sounded better than the earlier rips. By the way you’re not in that Typhoon are you? Be safe.
Lovin’ it! Didn’t even know this one existed. How about Bang Bang or Lover Come Back to wrap up this special installment of DOA? = )
Would love to but this series is all about “Mad, Bad And Dangerous To Know”. I will definately get to those so saty tuned 🙂
Thanks , Phil Harding and Shep Pettibone are my favorites producers and remixers of 80s!!
You’re welcome Drake. I agree they are two of the best 🙂
What is the full tracklisting for the UK Brand New Lover 12″?
Is it the same as the US one you posted yesterday, but with a different live track as the fourth song?
There are two seperate UK 12″ singles for “Brand New Lover”
12″ #1
A Brand New Lover (The Dust Monkey’s Love Bubble Club Mix)
B1 Brand New Lover (Instrumental)
B2 In Too Deep (Live)
12″ #2 (Ltd. Edition Poster Sleeve)
A Brand New Lover (Up Ducky Mix)
B1 Cake And Eat It (Live)
B2 In Too Deep (Live)
I love this one. There’s also a single remix known as just “Remix” whick clocks in at about 4:13 min. Do you have that one Paul ?
No sorry Omar I don’t. I never really collected that many 7″ singles but I am starting too so i’ll be on the look out for that one 🙂
Paul, this is really great!!! Thanks so much for continuing the DOA releases. It’s been a long time since i have played this 12″ vinyl. Really need a new turntable. Nice Japanese picture sleeve too. Can’t wait to listen to this. Best of health to you Paul! Thanks again….
You’re welcome Gilbert. I have always loved this 12″ and it’s one of my dearest treasures. I was fortunate enough to buy a first pressing that includes the huge fold out poster of Pete with the “sex” buckle in front of his mouth.
Just when I think you are about to stop with the DOA releases, here comes more!!! AWESOME ..LOVE IT! I guess the response has been somewhat positive I must say. Great music has a great impact & lasting impressions. DOA was one of those 80s bands that made their mark, gained major attention, and then record companies and other big wigs seemd to have made bad choices with the catalog. Sometimes it is best to leave the creativity up to the artists. DOA had visions, and they were just held back by record big-wigs. Thank you Paul for paying attention… Read more »
You’re welcome JonEthin. I might do one or two more before ending this DOA series. But it won’t be the end for good as i still have much more. I just need to move on to some other projects 😉
