Bryan Adams – Heat Of The Night (Extended Remix) (Japan 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1987

“Heat of the Night” is a song written by Canadian rock musician Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance and performed by Adams. The song became the most successful song from Adams’s album Into the Fire in 1987. It was released as the first single from Into the Fire and reached number 6 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and number 2 on the U.S. Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.

The song is also featured on Adams’s 1988 live concert album Live! Live! Live! and his greatest hits albums So Far So Good and Anthology.

The song is very popular among Bryan Adams fans and it won the Canadian Music Publisher’s Association Rock Song Of The Year Award. According to Billboard magazine, it was the 84th most-listened-to song of the year.

The song was partly inspired by the film noir classic The Third Man, starring the actor-director Orson Welles. The darkness of the lyrics was further influenced by a trip Bryan and Jim Vallance took to Berlin in March 1986, before the wall came down.

Billy Idol – Don’t Stop (US 12″ EP)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1981

“Don’t Stop” is the first solo release by rock singer Billy Idol. Released in the US in 1981, it contains a cover of Tommy James and the Shondells’ UK #1 “Mony Mony,” which would become a later hit for him as a live version in 1987.

It also contains the song “Dancing with Myself”, which had previously been a commercially unsuccessful single release for Idol’s former band Gen X in the United Kingdom in 1980. “Dancing With Myself” (from that band’s LP Kiss Me Deadly) was not re-recorded for the Don’t Stop EP release but was remixed from Gen X’s 6:05 minute long extended version of the song and edited down into 4:50 minutes, from which a drum solo and chorus section was removed.

“Untouchables” is another Gen X song taken from the 1980 album Kiss Me Deadly, which was re-recorded for Don’t Stop.

The EP peaked at #71 on the Billboard 200 and generated considerable anticipation for the full-length album Billy Idol, released the following year.

For this promo release, the tracklisting is in a different order on the vinyl than on other releases and what is listed on the sleeve.

David Bowie – Cat People (Putting Out Fire) (Australia Limited Edition 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1982

NEW 2021 Transfer!
Meticulously Remastered!

Originally posted March 21, 2013

“Cat People (Putting Out Fire)” is a song recorded by English singer-songwriter David Bowie, released as the title track of the 1982 erotic horror film Cat People. Recorded in July 1981, the song was written by Bowie with Italian producer Giorgio Moroder. The 1981 recording has been described as one of “the finest of Bowie’s recordings of the 1980s”. A re-recorded version of the song created a year and a half later, appears on the album Let’s Dance (1983).

The director Paul Schrader engaged Bowie for a theme song in 1981, with Moroder having already recorded most of the music. Bowie was to put lyrics to the main theme.

The song itself, in keeping with the dark tone of the film, has some goth rock influences, with Bowie singing in a deep baritone croon while being backed up by a female chorus. Bowie’s octave leap on the word “gasoline” has been called “a magnificent moment” and “among the most thrilling moments he ever committed to tape”.

Because of Moroder’s contract, the single was issued by MCA Records. The full-length 6:45 version appeared on the soundtrack album, the U.S., and European 12″ single’s, while a 4:08 edited version was made for the 7″ release. The single reached No. 26 in the UK, No. 13 in Canada, and No. 67 in the US – Bowie’s biggest hit there since “Golden Years”. It peaked at No. 1 in New Zealand, remaining there for three weeks, as well as in Sweden for four weeks. It was also No. 1 in Norway for seven consecutive weeks, and then returned to the top for a further week.

The single was released three separate times by MCA, first in March 1982 with “Cat People” as the A-side, then again two months later with “Paul’s Theme” as the A-side, and finally in November 1982 with “Cat People” back on the A-side. Yugoslav-born Hungarian composer Sylvester Levay contributed to the orchestration.

In December 1982, Bowie re-recorded the song for his album Let’s Dance, released the following year. This version was also released as the B-side to the title track’s single release and performed on Bowie’s Serious Moonlight Tour. He had originally planned on using the original version of the song, but Moroder’s label MCA Records refused to license it to EMI America. In the re-recorded version of the song, Stevie Ray Vaughan provided the guitar solos and riffs in the song.

**Although the disc label gives a duration of 6:41 for side B, this 12″ contains a rare 9 minutes plus extended version. According to some sources, the Australian 12″ was mistakenly pressed with this longer version and remains up to now unreleased in any other form.
