Dead Or Alive – Brand New Lover (Japan 12″)

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1986

NEW 2021 Transfer!
NEW Meticulous Restoration!

I originally posted the U.S. 12″ way back in July 2012 that single contained four tracks at 33 RPM which I always thought lacked a bit of dynamic range since the tracks are a bit more compressed onto the record. This time around I decided to give the 45 RPM pressed Japan 12″ a new restoration/transfer I had posted it in 2011 but removed it after posting the U.S. 12″ in 2012 sonically I think it sounds much better giving each mix its own side to stretch out its grooves.

I hope you guys enjoy this new transfer.

“Brand New Lover” is a song recorded by the British band Dead or Alive. It was the lead single released from the band’s third album, Mad, Bad, and Dangerous to Know on Epic Records. It achieved international success when released as a single in 1986.

The lyrics describe the singer’s desire to leave his current partner for one who is more exciting. His motivation is that he admittedly does not desire a stable relationship with one partner, but rather is “a pleasure seeker.”

The song proved to be more successful in the U.S. and in Japan than in the band’s native UK, where it reached number 31. In the US, “Brand New Lover” peaked at number 15 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart (The band’s second and last single to reach the top 20), and spent two weeks at #1 on the American dance chart in December 1986.
