Dead Or Alive – My Heart Goes Bang (Get Me To The Doctor) (Japan 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1985

Re-Rip Remaster + Bonus Track

Originally I posted this one back in January of 2011. 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 equipment. This 12″ is also being posted in 24 bit flac for the very first time! Aside from re-ripping the Japanese 12″ I also included as a bonus track the “Instrumental Version” of “My Heart Goes Bang (Get Me To The doctor)” taken from the UK 12″ (Epic – QTA 6571).

“My Heart Goes Bang (Get Me To The Doctor)” is the fourth and final single from Dead or Alive’s second studio album Youthquake. It charted at #23 in the United Kingdom, #41 in Australia and became a huge dance hit in the U.S.

Hi Paul!
Good to hear all good from the doctor’s visit.
I was actually revisiting your older posts for the 24bit updates recently but couldn’t find any for this. And then here you are, doing it today! And re-ripped too!

Yes, I am positive it was posted. I remembering seeing the number 4 next to my comment.
It’s very strange indeed. And I remember asking you to delete a double entry before when I only submitted a reply once.
The cyberspace doesn’t like me eh? LOL!

Is Thompson Twins’ “Doctor! Doctor!” next by any chance? There’s a great fan mix by Micky Dodds out there if you want to add any extras. Just so you know, I’ve had to wear a Holter Monitor several times in my life, once as part of a stress test, so I know your anxiety. I remember worrying if I got it wet while showering that I would electrocute myself. In the end, it was a relief to get it off, although the tape residue took longer to get off my skin. That reminds me – if you still have tape… Read more »

Oh, definitely ask them for the pads when it’s removed, and be sure to buy them if they don’t have any to give you at the office. It’s the only way to go. That gloop is gone in minutes.

Trust me. You don’t want to forget it’s there and hear “Ew” from your significant other at an inopportune moment! 😉
