Burning The Ground Exclusive 1986

TOTALLY OBSCURE 80s!

“Let’s Turn Our Love Around” was the debut single by the English band The Big Supreme. The single failed to chart and was the first of only four singles released by the band. The record was produced by American producer Bobby Eli who has worked with El Debarge, Stevie Wonder, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and George Clinton, among others. Both tracks on this record were remixed by one of alternative rock’s unsung heroes, Tim Palmer. In the early ’80s, Palmer worked as an assistant engineer at Utopia Studios in London, England, helping musicians like Mark Knopfler and Dead Or Alive.

In the latter half of the ’80s, Palmer became a producer, and his keen ears and technical knowledge contributed to edgy post-punk groups such as The Mighty Lemon Drops, The Mission, Gene Loves Jezebel, and House Of Love acquiring airplay on U.S. modern rock stations; Palmer gives the band a radio-friendly sheen that didn’t mollify their sound.

In 1989, Palmer produced David Bowie’s debut LP with Tin Machine.

The Big Supreme is one of those great obscure 80s offerings that make you crave more of them sadly they never released a full-length LP and disappeared just as fast as they began.
