BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1986

REQUEST

“Cloudbusting” is a song that was written, produced and performed by the British singer Kate Bush. It was the second single released from her no.1 1985 album Hounds of Love. “Cloudbusting” peaked at no.20 in the UK Singles Chart.

The 12″ version of “Cloudbusting” was a special remix called “The Organon Re-Mix” in which the verses were downplayed and the main focus was the development of the song’s chorus.

The Belle Stars – Indian Summer (UK 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1983

REQUEST

“Indian Summer” is a 1983 song by English pop/new wave band The Belle Stars, released as their fifth and final single from their only self-titled studio album and their ninth single overall. The song peeked at #52 for three weeks on the UK singles chart.

Indian Summer is a song about a lover had for a day. The songs chorus: “We were lovers for a day; never again will it ever be that way” likely talks about how the band only had one hit and it never seemed to resurface them. Many of the band also believed that the single caused a rivalry with Bananarama’s Cruel Summer.
