Bryan Adams – Christmas Time (US 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1985

“Christmas Time” is a song recorded by Bryan Adams. It was written by Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance and became Adams’ most popular Christmas song. “Christmas Time” was written and recorded in Vancouver, Canada. Over twenty years after it was first recorded, the song still receives significant radio airplay each year during the Christmas season. No music video was shot for the single, although there was a live video made for its B-side, “Reggae Christmas”, featuring a guest appearance by Pee Wee Herman. The song won Gold Single Award for 50,000 sales of the 45 RPM single in Canada. It reached #4 on Billboard Christmas Chart.

In 2001 Bryan performed “Christmas Time” at the Vatican for Pope John-Paul II. The performance was included on a DVD, released in 2002, titled “A Musical Christmas From The Vatican”.

Katrina And The Waves – Do You Want Crying (UK 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1985

Written by keyboardist Vince de la Cruz “Do You Want Crying” was the foolow-up single to “Walking On Sunshine” and became a top 40 US hit reaching No. 37 in the late summer of 1985. The single also charted in the UK at No.96 and Canada at No.29.

This song has pretty much been over shadowed by “Walking On Sunshine” but in my opinion it is a great 80’s pop song that deserves to be revisited again.
