BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1985

NEW Transfer!

**I realize that only just posted this single back in February of this year. Since then I have made some equipment upgrades so I wanted all four singles that I have by The Adventures to all sound the same, and be recorded with the same hardware. I am just weird that way. Anyway I hope you have enjoyed this series.

Recorded using:
Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Turntable with Ortofon 2M Bronze stylus, Pro-Ject Tube Box DS2 phono pre-amp, and ADL GT40a USB DAC.

Jermaine Stewart – We Don’t Have To Take Our Clothes Off (US 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1985

“We Don’t Have to Take Our Clothes Off” (released in the United Kingdom as “We Don’t Have To…”) is American R&B vocalist Jermaine Stewart’s first of three singles from 1986. The song was included on his second album Frantic Romantic, released that same year. “We Don’t Have to Take Our Clothes Off” remains Stewart’s biggest commercial success, peaking at number five on the Billboard Hot 100. Outside of the United States, “We Don’t Have to Take Our Clothes Off” peaked within the top ten of the charts in Canada, the Republic of Ireland, and the United Kingdom.

The single seemed to reflect more modesty when it came to sex in light of the AIDS pandemic at the time. In 1988, Stewart was interviewed by Donnie Simpson where Stewart spoke of the lyrical message within the song. “I think it made a lot of peoples’ minds open up a little bit. We didn’t only want to just talk about clothes, we wanted to extend that. We wanted to use the song as a theme to be able to say you don’t have to do all the negative things that society forces on you. You don’t have to drink and drive. You don’t have to take drugs early. The girls don’t have to get pregnant early. So the clothes bit of it was to get people’s attention, which it did and I’m glad it was a positive message.”

The song reignited Stewart’s popularity, as his previous single, “I Like It” had failed to make much impact as a follow-up to Stewart’s moderately successful debut single, “The Word Is Out” (“I Like It” did not chart in either the US or the United Kingdom).
