Today is the big day I finally join the 50 club! I will be taking the day off from posting to enjoy the first day of a new decade of life. I feel very blessed to still be here. I am looking positively forward to the next chapter of this journey. Thank you all for sharing part of it with me. Here’s to 50!

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1985
“Possession Obsession” was the fourth single taken from the twelfth studio album “Big Bam Boom” by Daryl Hall & John Oates. The song was a departure from their typical sound with lead vocals by John Oates instead of Daryl Hall.
The music video was directed by Bob Giraldi, who also did Michael Jackson’s “Beat It” and Pat Benatar’s “Love Is A Battlefield.” It stars John Oates as a cab driver in New York City. At one point, we see two men holding hands in the back of the cab, which is something rarely seen on TV at the time.
“Possession Obsession” peaked at #30 on the Billboard Hot 100 on June 6, 1985, after spending twelve weeks on the survey. The song also reached #42 on the Canadian singles chart.
Track A2 is a “Dub Mix” but is not listed in the sleeve or record labels.

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1986
“Let’s Go!” is a single by English new wave band Wang Chung. Although the song was on their 1986 album, Mosaic, it didn’t get released as a single until January 6, 1987. The single was a hit for Wang Chung in the United States, and it provided the band with their second (and so far, last) top-10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 in April 1987, peaking at #9. The single also formed the basis for a music video. It also hit #9 on the Canada RPM Top 100 Singles chart.
Jack Hues sings the verses of the song, and Nick Feldman sings the bridge. Both sing the chorus.
