Belouis Some – Some People (The Population Boom Boom Mix) (UK 12″ Promo)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1985

“Some People” is a 1985 single by British artist Belouis Some, from his 1985 debut album Some People. The song reached the Top 40 in the UK, peaking at #33 on the UK Singles Chart in April 1986. In the U.S., the song reached #67 on the Billboard Hot 100.

This extremely rare UK 12″ promo contains the commercially unreleased “Population Boom Boom Mix” which I suspect is an unused Steve Thompson & Michael Barbiero remix with edits by Bruce Forest although they are not credited on the labels. The b-side “Dub Version” is the same mix that is found on the Uk and US releases of the standard 12″ with edits by Bruce Forest.

No producer or remix credits are listed on this release. The b-side is a plain white label.

Corey Hart – Boy In The Box (US 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1985

“Boy In The Box” was the second single released from Canadian singer Corey Hart’s sophomore album “Boy In The Box”.

After his first album, First Offense took off, the photogenic and often brooding Corey Hart was often compared to James Dean in the media. For his second album, he wrote “Boy in the Box” about Dean, and what it must have been like living in the public eye as if he were being observed in a box. Hart often felt the same way, as he found his sudden fame overwhelming at times. “Boy In The Box” reached #4 in Hart’s home country of Canada and #26 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 on November 2, 1985, after spending twelve weeks on the survey.
