BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1978
DISCO FRIDAY!
Re-Rip Newly Remastered!
Originally I posted this one on April 23, 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!
“Deeper Than The Night” was second single released from English-born Australian pop singer Olivia Newton-John’s ninth US and tenth international studio album. Released in November 1978. “Deeper Than The Night” did well on the US charts peaking at at #11 Pop, #4 AC and #87 Country. Internationally “Deeper Than The Night” peaked at #64 UK, #18 Canada and #7 in Australia in April 1979.
The single was released on several formats including a 7″ picture disc as well as a 12″ Disco single released in Europe extending the track to 4:55. The b-side is the epic album track “Please Don’t Keep Me Waiting”.

DJ Paul: Thank you so much for posting this again! I love DTN! BTW – I once read that PDKMW was released as a 7″ single somewhere in Europe with an edited version. Is that true? I’d be curious what that sounds like! You’re simply the best. Best always!
Paul,
Thank you so much! I, like you, am a HUGE Olivia fan! I’m planning on seeing her here in Vegas in the next couple of months. I’m SO excited that she is doing a meet and greet also, I will finally get to meet her in person, as you have. Her show has gotten great reviews and I’m so glad she is back in the news again. Always great to hear music from her.
Some ONJ news just released in Australia today. I’m sure you’ll all be able to hear this online.

very good
Thank you very much dear Paul! You know how to pleased ONJ fans! 🙂
Great songs by Livvy!
Have you got her resent EP “Hotel Sessions”?, it dedicated to Rona Newton-John, Olivia’s sister and Brett Goldsmith’s mother, who passed on in 2013.
Don’t have it yet Spring so far it’s only available at her Vegas shows but will be released soon on her official web site as well as iTunes and Amazon.
I am all for the re-rips Paul. I especially love when you post your faves. Great time too as Olivia is sort of making a return to the music field. She’s been missed and your excellent discography of her twelves are a testament to your love of ONJ and her back catalog. She should certainly be a fan of you Paul.
Have a super weekend and enjoy yourself. Looking forward to new musical surprises and new re-rips as the days march on.
Your pal,
Jeff
Thanks Jeff ONJ is definately on track for a comeback it’s her time for sure. I addition to her Vegas gig she is also releasing an EP called “Hotel Sessions” it’s unreleased demo’s that she recorded in various hotels from 2002 2011. One of the tracks is a cover of “Broken Wings” by Mr. Mister. There are also a couple dance mixes as well. The EP should be available on her official web site olivianewton-john.com and other media outlets soon.
Another re-rip! Yay!
I always compare the sounds after each re-rip post and TOTALLY, these new rips are great improvements on the previous ones. Power of a high-end stylus! Your ripping skills I’m sure have improved over the years too with experience. Thanks Paul!
Thank you Ric I have been trying hard over the years to improve. I am happy to see it is finally showing 🙂
Glad there’s another BTG’er who is as excited as I am when you post a re-rip! Love them too Ric.
First reaction : yessssssssss
Second : thanx !!
You’re welcome Dirk it makes me happy to see your excitement 🙂
Was this a picture disc or were you just posting that for fun? 🙂
Hi Jermajesty I was just posting the picture disc for fun just to show the other formats the single was released on. The picture disc actually sounds horrible it doesn’t even play at the correct speed lol.
😀 😀 😀
god I love pictures discs!
Finally a new rip of this rare Dutch release. Great track, another old post now in better quality!
Still waiting for a re-rip of that Dutch 12 inch of ‘Suddenly’ with the rare B-side ‘You Made Me Love You’. Would you restore that one too?
I’m sure I will eventually Stefano 🙂 This new rip sounds so much better than the old one I am pretty proud of it.
You should be proud of every rip you make Paul. If you can get your hands on a good pressing which has a mint grade, then you do magic!
Fierce! Thank you 🙂
You’re welcome Lulu 🙂
Thanks for the upgrade of this great track. One of my favorites!!
You’re welcome Kookoo 🙂
