Carol Hitchcock – Burning The Ground: DjPaulT's 80's and 90's Remixes

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1987

“Get Ready” is a Motown song written by Smokey Robinson, which resulted in two hit records for the label: a U.S. No. 29 version by The Temptations in 1966, and a U.S. No. 4 version by Rare Earth in 1970.

In mid-1987 Australian singer and actress, Carol Hitchcock had a top 20 hit on the Australian Kent Music Report Singles Chart with her cover version of the song7. It also peaked in the top 60 in the United Kingdom and top 50 in New Zealand. In 1985 Hitchcock had acted in the TV series, Prisoner.

According to Hitchcock Stock Aitken Waterman recommended the track for her and she felt that “they were so wonderful to work with.”

As a bonus track, I have added the Australian only “Earth To Moonbase Mix” which was released on a separate Australia 12″.
