BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1985
Re-Rip Newly Remastered!
Originally I posted this one on April 6, 2011. 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!

I’m searching for a hairdresser that can help me achieve this look today.
I call this a ‘Guess The Singer’ album artwork. ;p
I had hair like that at one point in the mid-80s. It helped me getting laid on several occasions, so…
Thanks for this Paul. One of the Canadian greats from the ’80s (saw them again in Toronto this past summer on the 30th Anniversary Tour for their debut album “Standing in the Dark”). Would love to track down some of their other 12″ers.
What horror-sleeves you got for us, Paul. Made me think of my cousins’ dog from back in the 80’s, she used to blowdry that one after bath and take it for a walk. It was an Afghan by the way, that dog. Oh well, probably just jealousy from my part, since i only have few hairs left 🙂 The music i would not call New Wave. I am from The Netherlands, and NW over here was more obscure and dark, like Siouxie, Cure, Bauhaus. I would call it pop.
That hair! Talking about the 80’s. Haha.
Don’t think I know this one. Let’s find out…
Thank You Paul for this One, it was my favorite band back then! I’m curious, Do you have any other 12” from them?
Sorry Yan this is the only single I have by them.
Thank You so much!
Canada’s answer to Duran Duran. They made two great albums, Standing in the Dark and Alien Shores. thanks Paul!
You’re welcome Greg 🙂
Vaguely remember this, a reasonable classic 80s track..
(Not sure about them though!)
Thanks for the rip, Paul.. 🙂
You’re welcome 🙂
