Carlos Berrios – Burning The Ground: DjPaulT's 80's and 90's Remixes

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1988

To me the Peanuts gang is always associated with the Holiday Season, so here is a little something to keep you dancing all the way into the New Year.

“Linus and Lucy” is a popular instrumental jazz standard written by American jazz pianist Vince Guaraldi, appearing in many Peanuts animated specials. Named for the two fictional siblings Linus and Lucy van Pelt, it gained its greatest exposure as part of the A Charlie Brown Christmas soundtrack. It is one of the most recognizable pieces by Guaraldi and has gained status as the signature melody of the Peanuts franchise.

In 1988, a Electro cover version was produced and arranged by Tom Bennett Davis under the alias of Schroeder. It contains edits by Carlos Berrios and Omar Santana. The record was released on the Pow Wow Records label.

The song did not chart.

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1987

“Meet El Presidente” is the 16th single from Duran Duran and the third single from the Notorious album.

According to a studio report in Star Hits magazine, one of the early drafts of this song was called “One of the Faithful.” A demo version by that name can be found on several bootlegs.

The album version of the song is considerably different from the single and video versions, and from all the remixes. The former’s original key and tempo are maintained, but mixes elements of the master to differing degrees for the single release, the main ones being a more emphatic, up-front mix for the percussion, brass, and backing vocal tracks, throughout the song.

“Meet El Presidente” was backed by the album track “Vertigo (Do The Demolition)”. This was the second single from Notorious to have an album track as a b-side.

“Meet El Presidente” peaked at #24 in the UK on April 25, 1987, in the United States the song reached #70 on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart on May 2, 1987.
