BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1990
Another set of great ON-USound megamixes. This time Madonna gets the megamix treatment. A “Classic Megamix” which has appeared on other bootleg singles sometimes reffered to as “Madonna Super Disco Mix”. This megamix is mostly of Madonna’s early 80’s hits. We also get a “New Megamix” which is comprised of the Material Girl’s later 80’s offerings endinding with 1990’s “Vogue”.
Please remember these are unofficial releases so the mastering quality is not always the best. The vinyl transfer contained in this post is probably the best you will ever hear these mixes. Enjoy!!

Thank you Paul for always coming up with the rare gems!
I used to have this Madonna Mix that was a double-A side with the Hot Hits Megamix. It featured:
Jason Donovan, Barbara Doust, Mory Kante etc.
Do you have that mix? I’d really love to hear that again.
As a big megamix and a die-hard Madonna fan I just want to thank you for this fantastic and rare megamix. I totally appreciate you working on this and posting it for all of us to enjoy. Have a good weekend ahead Dj PaulT
You are very welcome MusicdivaSF. I had a lot of fun working on this. Just wish the mastering of the record was a bit better. Have a great weekend 🙂
Hello from Toronto!
Thank you so much for this! You post the best Madonna rarities. I am very grateful that you posted Gamble in a previous post. I tried to find Gambler 12″ in used record stores and was not successful so far.
Are you going to see her tour?
K
Thanks, do you have True Blue 12″
DJPaulT, did you post the CD version before (when you were on blogger)? Thanks for this, I love it! Dave
Hi Dave yes I did post the CD on blogger. Glad you are enjoying this 🙂
Hurray! Thanks, Paul!
You’re welcome Christian 🙂
This is one of my most favourite megamixes ever since I bought it in 1991. Impressive too, especially technology was more lacking then, plus the catalogue of Madonna is already so extensive.
Shame they didn’t Holiday Rap in the vinyl version. And why I am not surprised the CD Maxi Mastering is less than ideal?
Haven’t heard these mixes in ages. So thanks again, Paul for your MEGAtreats!
I agree with you Ric. One of my favorite megamixes too. I find it cool that had to do more manual mixing back then. Today they can do it all by computer.
GRANDIOSO!!!! Gracias desde México
PD, Something more of CULTURE CLUB or BOY GEORGE please.
YES!!! A m,onth of boy george uploads! Fab x
I have the CD version of this. First time I’d ever heard “Holiday Rap” which was a bonus track on the Disc. (by MC Miker G and DJ Sven) Thanks for bringing back some awesome memories.
You’re welcome Silver Blue. I have the CD single also but they didn’t do a very good job of cleaning up the viny transfer that they used so I was alwyas a bit disapponted with it.
It was a shame that they used an inferior transfer for that CD. Thanks for your hard work!
Thanks for these great On U Sound classics!! I remember finding thier Erasure release in Virgin or HMV years ago and grabbing it so please with my find – later found it on cd on ebay I think lol Thanks again for all your hard work and I hope someday I have some spare cash to chuck your way to help with the upkeep of your equipment… keep up the good work – it’s muchly appreciated as always. You make Wolfie howl with pleasure every night lol (when he sees your new posts ) lol x
You are so very welcome Wolfie. I have that Erasure one too and plan on posting it at some point. Cheers and don’t howl too loud lol.
