Debbie Gibson – Shake Your Love (US 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1987

Headed To The Mall Week.

REQUEST

“Shake Your Love” is the second single by American singer-songwriter-actress Deborah Gibson. Originally recorded in the spring of 1987, the song is written by Gibson herself and produced by Fred Zarr. It was released in September 1987 and reached #4 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in December that year. It was her breakthrough single in the U.K., reaching #7 in early 1988. The 12″ single reached #1 on the U.S. Maxi-Singles sales chart.

**Although Side A lists the “Vocal/Club Mix” and “Bonus Beats” as two seperate tracks it is actually one twelve minute version without any gap between songs. I have left it this way to keep the integrity of the original vinyl release.
