Burning The Ground Exclusive 1990

To celebrate the return of ABBA I dug out this fun Megamix from an early 1990s bootleg remix label Black wax. The record also includes a sample-filled Queen “Another One Bites The Dust” Megamix which is really fun too.

I also created a custom outer sleeve for the record.
