Various – Hot Rod’s “Dancing On The Wild Side” (Medley) (US 12″)

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1986

What a fun way to end a week of New Wave obscure records than with an obscure New wave Medley. Clocking in at just over twenty minutes this Hot Tracks Medley is packed with some known but mostly forgotten gems. Like most all of the Hot Tracks medley’s, this one is cut and sliced into pure perfection.

Mark ‘Hot Rod’ Trollan, DJ’ed at Medusa’s in Chicago in the 1980s and produced and remixed various singles in the mid-eighties.

He passed away on December 19, 1986, after contracting the AIDS virus.

Nick Kamen – Each Time You Break My Heart (US 12″)

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1986

An Auditory Gem From The BTG Archives!
NEW 2021 Transfer!
Meticulously Remastered!

Originally posted July 21, 2014

“Each Time You Break My Heart” is a 1986 song recorded by singer Nick Kamen. It was his debut single from his album Nick Kamen, released in 1987. The song achieved success in many European countries, including Ireland, Italy, UK, Swiss, and in the U.S. it was a top-five hit on the dance charts.

Written and produced by Madonna and Stephen Bray, it also cracked both the U.S. dance chart (remix by Shep Pettibone) and the Top 50 in Canada. Madonna had originally written and recorded the song for her “True Blue” album, but it did not make the cut. Her original version remains unreleased officially but has leaked onto the internet. It is almost identical in melody and structure to Kamen’s version.

Elton John – Wrap Her Up (Germany 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1986

NEW 2021 Transfer!
Meticulously Remastered!

Originally posted March 28, 2010

“Wrap Her Up” is a song by English rock performer Elton John, featured on his 1985 album, Ice on Fire. George Michael is also featured on the song. Released as a single, it reached number 12 in the UK Singles Chart, number 22 on the Australian Singles Chart, number 26 in Canada on the RPM Top Singles chart, and number 20 on the US Billboard Hot 100.

George Michael was quoted at the time in Smash Hits magazine that “it sounded like I had my willy in a garotte” because of the falsetto he sings throughout the song.

The song is notable for the number of famous women’s names dropped toward the end of the song, including Kiki Dee, who had duetted with Elton on the hit song “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart” in 1976, and also provided background vocals for “Wrap Her Up.” The rest of the list includes (in order) Marlene Dietrich, Marilyn Monroe, Brigitte Bardot, Doris Day, Billie Jean King, Samantha Fox, Joan Collins, Katharine Hepburn, Vivien Leigh, Grace Jones, Priscilla Presley, Vanessa Williams, Dusty Springfield, Nancy Reagan, Rita Hayworth, Madonna (as “Material Girl”), Julie Andrews, Superwoman, Annie Lennox, Mata Hari, Anouska Hempel, Shirley Temple, Tallulah Bankhead, Linda Lovelace, Little Eva, Nastassja Kinski, Princess Caroline of Monaco, Pat Fernandez (a close friend of George Michael who appeared in two Wham! videos), and Elsie Tanner.
