BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1985
New 2015 Re-Rip!
Remastered using the Ortofon OM Super 30 stylus!
This is one of those singles that I originally ripped way back in January, 2011. Back then I was using ClickRepair and the Ortofon OM 20 stylus. The result was a good rip but not as good as it could be. Now in 2015 I have stopped using ClickRepair started manually removing clicks and updated my stylus to the Ortofon OM Super 30. I also upgraded the tube in my Bellari phono pre-amp to the Tung-Sol 12AX7ECC803-S Gold Electron tube resulting in a much higher quality transfer. Enjoy!
“Invincible” is the lead grammy nominated single for Pat Benatar’s seventh studio album Seven the Hard Way (1985), released on July 6, 1985. The song was written by Holly Knight (who also wrote “Love Is a Battlefield”), and was used as a theme song for the film The Legend of Billie Jean (1985). The song was a huge hit, peaking at #10 on the Billboard Hot 100.

You’re welcome Omar. No remix that I am aware of.
No remix known by me either, only the Spanish version.
The (slightly) extended version of ‘Painted Desert’ is a beauty many won’t know.
I don’t know this one, but what an awesome sleeve!
People are still knocking out artwork like that now, with stencils and spraypaint. 🙂
