BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1985
“Tell Me Your Name” is the debut 12″ single by Danish band Russia Heat. Russia Heat was the first electronic dance music act in Denmark, choking the public with a new type of music that originated from the UK. Unfortunately, the group had diverging views on how to follow up on their initial success with “Tell Me Your Name” and after a change in line-up and a second 12″, the band disappeared into 80s obscurity.

Thank you, Paul. Very interesting as I’m Danish. I didn’t live in Copenhagen then and it was almost impossible to get hold of records like this – though I managed to get the follow-up, Bomb Beat Boys (and still have it). Now I’m listening for the first time, perfect!
Very cool Thomas I need to locate the”Bomb Beat Boys” single since I really enjoyed this one. 🙂
Thank you very much Paul! I love your extraordinary taste in music. I’ve found so much new Jewels on your site. TOP!

Thank you S.corpion 🙂
My interest is piqued just by the cover alone. Can’t wait to dive into this ears first!! I also love the title of the B-side selection, “Erotic Pink.” Thanks so much Paul for this one.
