BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1985

“Axel F” is the electronic instrumental theme from the 1984 film Beverly Hills Cop originally performed by Harold Faltermeyer.

For this rather odd bootleg 12″ The “Axel F” mixes are credited to one “Det Reirruc” which is actually Ted Currier spelled backward, Currier was a New York City radio jockey, first with WKTU for two years then for two years with WBLS. Thereafter he started to work for EMI/Liberty Records. He also launched the Studio 92 / 92KTU dance parties, based on radio tapes using station’s compressors and levels specifics for the mixes.
Ted Currier was the direct inspiration to Shep Pettibone’s “Master Mix” tapes. Ted Currier went on to become a producer and songwriter working on George Clinton’s immortal “Atomic Dog”, and producing hits for Sly Fox, the Boogie Boys, Sweet Sensation, and Tony Terry.

“Axel F” also features the legendary 80s remix crew The Latin Rascals, who are given an “edited by” credit on the label.

The b-side is a rap tune about the career of Eddie Murphy by the unknown group Club’s Rappers.
