Judas Priest – Turbo Lover (Hi-Octane Mix) (US 12″)

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1986

“Turbo Lover” is a single by heavy metal band Judas Priest from their album Turbo. Unlike the album, most of the reception for this song has been positive, and it is considered a Judas Priest classic. The song’s lyrics have been described as being about “auto”-eroticism.

AllMusic writer, Steve Huey, in his review of the song’s parent album Turbo, called it “easily the best song on the record”. Decibel Magazine described the song as “one of the classiest songs in [Judas Priest’s discography]”. Loudwire ranked the song at number 10 on their list of the “10 Best Judas Priest Songs”.

Pet Shop Boys – West End Girls ’86 (Germany 12″)

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1986

“West End Girls” was the first Pet Shop Boys song released on a label, and is arguably the song most commonly associated with the band.

The original version of the song was released in 1984 produced by famed Hi-NRG mogul Bobby Orlando, the single was released on his Bobcat Records label. It was not a huge hit in the Boys’ home country, but it did fairly well in the States and in Italy. Under the Bobby O umbrella, ‘West End Girls’ was remixed and repackaged several times, saturating the world’s record stores with multiple formats of this single.

In 1986 after the band signed with Parlophone Records the song was remixed, and titled “Remix ’86” this was to capitolize off of the re-recorded hit version that had been released in 1985.

Electric Light Orchestra – Getting To The Point (UK 12″)

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1986

I found “Getting To The Point” to be very fitting for the world that we find ourselves in today.

“Getting to the Point” is a song by the rock group Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) from their 1986 album Balance of Power. Released in the UK as the last single from the album in July 1986, it was the last original release from the band for 15 years.

Due to a strike on Epic’s distribution department at the time of its release, the single did not make much of an impression on the singles chart. It peaked at number 95 in the UK. There was no release in the rest of Europe.

The B-Side of this single is the 1986 Balance of Power album-track “Secret Lives”. It was meant to be a separate single outtake as labelled on the Balance of Power album cover (Dutch pressings with JET or EPIC Label Catno. 26467).

There was also a UK 12 inch Epic 3 track version with the “ELO Megamix” on the B-side. The mix featured the songs from A New World Record, Out of the Blue, Discovery, Time and Balance of Power. It was mixed by Paul Dakeyne for DMC.

SIDE A:
Getting To The Point 4:28

SIDE B:
ELO Megamix 10:07
B1.1 Don’t Bring Me Down
B1.2 Sweet Talkin’ Woman
B1.3 Livin’ Thing
B1.4 Calling America
B1.5 So Serious
B1.6 Shine A Little Love
B1.7 Twilight
B1.8 Turn To Stone
B1.9 Hold On Tight
