Club Nouveau – Why You Treat Me So Bad? (Remix) (US 12″)

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1987

“Why You Treat Me So Bad?” is a 1987 single by Club Nouveau from their 1986 album Life, Love & Pain. The basic melodic hook of the song is taken from a hit by Club Nouveau member Jay King’s previous project as producer, Timex Social Club (namely, the song “Thinkin’ About Ya”).

The song has been sampled several times by other musicians. Hip-hop duo Luniz interpolated the music on their hit single “I Got 5 on It”; that song was then sampled by Sean ‘Puff Daddy’ Combs, on his hit single, “Satisfy You”; as well as “I Like It” by Mr. Capone-E and “I Know” by Yo Gotti. Singer Ashanti sampled the song for her hit single “Only U” and Jennifer Lopez on “I’m Gonna Be Alright”.

No Doubt singer Gwen Stefani cited the song for recording her solo debut album Love. Angel. Music. Baby., after she listened to it while the band was on tour.

“Why You Treat Me So Bad?” reached #2 on the Billboard R&B Chart, #22 (Dance), and #39 on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart.

The Human League – I Need Your Loving (UK 12″)

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1986

Vinyl-only*

“I Need Your Loving” is a song by English synth-pop band The Human League, released as the second single from their fifth studio album, Crash (1986). The song was written by Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, David Eiland, Langston Richey, Danny Williams and Herman Davis (a.k.a. Randy Ran).

Like many other tracks from the album, “I Need Your Loving” was aimed towards the US market, where the first single from Crash, “Human”, had reached number one. The single was recorded at the Flyte Time studios in Minneapolis under the production of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis while the Human League had been in residence from February until April 1986. In the UK it was promoted with a cheaply and badly filmed music video and it became the band’s worst showing in the UK charts ever, only reaching number 72. Critics savaged the song at the time and the band has largely disowned it.

In the United States, the song reached number 44 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart on January 24, 1987, after spending eleven weeks on the survey. “I Need Your Loving” also peaked at number 52 on the Billboard R&B chart.
