BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1980
DISCO FRIDAY!
Re-Rip Newly Remastered!
Originally I posted this one on January 11, 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!
“Passion” was the first single released in 1980 from Rod Stewarts tenth solo studio album ‘Foolish Behaviour”. The single peaked at #17 in the UK while reaching the #5 position on the US Billnoard Hot 100 in November 1980.

U r so awesome DjPaul. Love this mix and it sounds awesome in 24 bit surround sound hahahah spring is here 😛
I wanted to say thank you for redoing this. I can not believe how much better the 12 inch version is in my opinion. I like this version 10 times more than the radio version. Have a wonderful Labor Day weekend. This is like an early birthday present for me. Thank you !
Thanks for the re-rip Paul. I can now cross this off my request list.
Woo hoo! I know I grabbed this one the first time around but it’s nice to have an update.
Thanx Paul… and enjoy the weekend!
You’re welcome Bearguy. Have a great weekend 🙂
Good call DjPaulT, Nice to see this one re-ripped.
Thank you Dngruss 🙂
One of my favourite Rod Stewart tracks…
Keep them coming, Paul.
I don’t know about the US but in the UK this was given a commercial release;thanks for making it available in digital form.
you’re welcome Fred. In the US the Long Version was only released as a promo as far as I know.
The 12 inch had a commercial release throughout Europe at least. Strange that it didn’t make the stores in the US.
YES! Another re-rip and also one of which I really really wanted a re-rip in higher quality. I love it!
This has been a very good week Paul, thank you very much. I’m delighted.
Amazing long version, only available on vinyl. This long version should have been the album version, and the album version should have been the single edit.
Have a nice weekend. And what the heck, take the Monday off, see you Tuesday. Okay?
Thank you Stefano makes me happy to see you so excited 🙂 I agree the versions should have been flipped. I am debating taking Monday off for Labor Day I might just do it. Have a nice weekend.
I like the quality Paul. Crisp improvement to the old post. Thanks!
