Yoko Ono – Hell In Paradise (US 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1985

“Hell in Paradise” is a song by Yoko Ono from the 1985 album Starpeace. The lyrics are about mankind’s perceived idea of hell, despite living in the paradise that Ono considers to be planet Earth. After “Walking on Thin Ice”, it was her biggest hit of the 1980s, charting at #12 on the US dance chart. Ono went on hiatus after Starpeace; this would be her last proper single until 2001’s remix of “Open Your Box”.

In 2004, the track was revived as part of the ONO remix project, and reached #4 on the same chart twenty years on.

The video was directed by Polish filmmaker Zbigniew Rybczyński. The music video won the award “Most Innovative Video” at Billboard Music Video Awards in 1986.

The track also features backing vocals by American vocalist, record producer, songwriter, musician, author, and actress Nona Hendryx.

The Star Sisters – He’s The 1 (I Love) (German 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1985

The Star Sisters were a female Dance/Pop trio from The Netherlands that were very popular during the 1980s, most notably as the ladies who performed the chorus as members of Jaap Eggermont’s studio act Stars on 45 and in a spinoff in which they performed as The Andrews Sisters in a medley that charted internationally in 1984.

The members were Sylvana van Veen (B. 1950), Patricia Paay (B. April 7, 1949) and Yvonne Keeley (B. September 6, 1952). Paay and Keeley are sisters in real life. In 1984, they performed a song (during the film’s end credits) on the Japanese film The Return of Godzilla.
