Alison Moyet – Invisible (The Transparent Mix) (US 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1985

“Invisible” is a song recorded by Alison Moyet in 1984, written by Lamont Dozier (of the songwriting team Holland–Dozier–Holland), from her album Alf.

Reaching #21 on the UK Singles Chart, the song went as high as #6 in Ireland, and gave Moyet her third Irish top 10 hit of the year. The single went even higher in New Zealand, peaking at #4, her second consecutive top ten hit after “All Cried Out” reached #6. The song is also the first American release from the album and is Moyet’s most successful single in that country, reaching #31 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the spring of 1985 and becoming her only US Top 40 hit, either solo or with Yazoo, thus far.

The b-side was the Marvin Gaye song “Hitch Hike” on which she receives backing from Darts.

Mick Jagger – Ruthless People (US 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1986

2015 Re-Rip!
Newly Remastered!
First Time In 24 Bit Flac!

Originally posted March 28, 2011

“Ruthless People” is the theme song for the 1986 black comedy, starring Danny DeVito, Bette Midler, Judge Reinhold and Helen Slater. It also features Bill Pullman as a supporting role in his film debut.

The song was co-written by Mick Jagger, Daryl Hall and Eurythmics co-member Dave Stewart and performed by Jagger. Assuming the song would be a hit, “Weird Al” Yankovic requested (and received) permission from Jagger to record a parody version, “Toothless People”, for his upcoming Polka Party! album. When Jagger’s song failed to crack the Top 40, Yankovic considered not recording his version; because Jagger had “authorized” the parody, however, he decided failing to produce it would be an insult to the artist and recorded it.

The movie version features different lyrics from the single version.
