BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1985
Re-Rip Newly Remastered!
Originally I posted this one on May 28, 2010. But for those who may have missed it or if you are a new reader just discovering BTG. I decided to give this one a new rip with my newer Ortofon Super 30 stylus. This 12″ is also being posted in 24 bit flac for the very first time!
“In Too Deep” is the third single released from Dead or Alive’s 1985 studio album Youthquake. It reached #14 in the UK Singles Chart, #11 in Germany and #31 In Australia.
The video features Pete Burns in an underwater scene, sitting in a clam shell and also on a swing.
This linited edition 12″ contains a large full color poster.

‘Monged’ means Stoned…so ‘Off Yer Mong’ imply’s that your Sober in a way.
Since this is a rare example of a DOA ‘love-song’ it could mean he was being serious about it all ?
Thanks for this Paul. Look forward to hearing this remix.
Thanks for this. I’m hoping the instrumental mix is the straight instrumental of the album version. 😉
And now I’m going to go research what “mong” means. 🙂

Thank you for this great 12″!
This song should have deserved further remixes like the other 3 tracks from Youthquake and, most of all, a Japanese release! But who knows? Maybe in the SAW vault there’s an unreleased mix version… like the Buzzin’ Bees [aka TDF (Two Dogs F*cking)] Mix for Spin Me, that saw light of the day just after 25 years.
I agree Venus De Milo. Is the TDF mix available on any format?
Hi Paul,
The Buzzin’ Bees mix is available here :

on the 3CD edition only.
Thanks Max appreciate it 🙂
Paul. This is great. Can u make this a DOA week. Thanks.
Well the week is over now Onar 🙂 We’ll see.
A great DOA track!! Thanks Paul!
You’re welcome Cory 🙂
Where is Stefano? LOL!
He’ll surely be excited by another re-rip.
Well, I am too. And i thought this would be a better follow-up to You Spin Me Round rather than Lover Come Back To Me.
Thanks Paul!
Let’s see what will be up for Disco Friday. 😀
Here he is: very excited with re-rips, but Dead Or Alive isn’t my cup of tea. But I’ll keep that a bit quiet, because when Paul posted his series of DOA 12 inches in March last year, I more or less got bashed on my negative comment 🙂
yeap good track remmeber it well
Great Dazz22 enjoy!
What a great, great song. Thank you for posting it Paul 😀
You’re welcome Dan 🙂
Paul, thank you so much for featuring another DOA song. Any DOA update, i just get so excited! Now that he is back in the studio, i can’t wait to hear any new materials from Pete & the gang. Stay well Paul!
Very exciting news Gilbert can’t wait either 🙂
My favourite track by Dead Or Alive 😉 Thanks for posting 🙂
You’re welcome Simon 🙂
I dont think there was a actual meaning to this phrase. That like trying to explain what the Dust Monkey Love Bubble Club Mix was all about… haha I thought that the DOA 12inches were always top notch. They would take album versions and remix them into something even more lovable than what was originally created… They actually REMIXED a lot of their tunes…. I would have loved to sit in the studio for one of those sessions.
Oh me too JonEthin how fun that would be. Dead Or Alive were very innivative at the time. Love them so much 🙂
Yes!
Somehow missed this first time around. They could’ve released any track off Youthquake and it would’ve been brilliant.
Surprised at the terminology used in the mix’s name. Dunno if it means the same elsewhere, but in 80s Britain ‘mong’ only had one meaning, and it wasn’t a positive one.
Great to see the Jer back 🙂 Not sure what it means. I thought maybe “Out Of Your Mind” sure it has different meanings all over the world 🙂
Yeah, I’m pretty sure they mean Off Your Face/ Out of Your Mind, it just seems a really odd choice of slang to express that, esp for a major record label to agree to. That was the 80s, I guess. 😀
One of the best early DoA singles, love the cover!! Thanks, Paul.
You’re welcome Victor! I agree 🙂
My fave DoA song. Thanks!
You’re welcome Will 🙂
One of my very fave DoA singles!!!! Thanks, Paul! =)
You’re welcome Marty 🙂
WOW..! Thank you Paul… Nice choice…. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU…
You’re so welcome JonEthin. Enjoy!
