La Toya Jackson – (Ain’t Nobody Loves You) Like I Do (Germany 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1987

“(Ain’t Nobody Loves You) Like I Do” is a 1987 single by American singer La Toya Jackson. The song is taken from her fifth album, La Toya. It is one of only four songs by Jackson to have an accompanying music video. The song features a bridge sung by Mike Stock. The single was released in 1987 throughout Europe, excluding the United Kingdom. Despite being produced by the European trio Stock Aitken Waterman, who were big hit-producers at the time, the single failed to chart. The B-side of the single, “(Tell Me) He Means Nothing To You At All”, was released as its own single in France.

Men Without Hats – Pop Goes The World (US 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1987

“Pop Goes the World” is a song recorded by Canadian new wave/synthpop group Men Without Hats. It was released in October 1987 as the lead single from the album of the same name. The song reached Number 1 in Austria, and No. 2 in Canada and Sweden while peaking at Number 20 in the United States.

The song very generally tells a story of “Johnny” and “Jenny,” the two members of a musical group called “The Human Race” (the members’ instruments of choice vary throughout the song, though Johnny is primarily a guitarist and Jenny is a bassist) on their quest for fame in the industry, though at one point the lyrics note that they come to the realization that they could make “more money on a movie screen.”

The “Edited Dance Mix” is exclusive to the North American release of the 12″ single. It is listed incorrectly on the record sleeve as “Extended Dance Mix”.

Pop Goes The World (Dance Mix) 7:47
