BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1975

DISCO FRIDAY!

Re-Rip Newly Remastered!

Originally I posted this one on July 23, 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!

“Shake Me, Wake Me (When It’s Over)” is a 1966 hit single written and produced by Holland–Dozier–Holland and released as a single by the Four Tops on the Motown label.

Barbra Streisand recorded a cover of the song for her 1975 pop album Lazy Afternoon. The single would only make to the promo stage and did not chart. “Shake Me, Wake Me (When It’s Over)” would also become Barbra’s first ever 12″ extended disco single.
