Andy Summers – 2010 (US 12″)

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1984

“2010” is a 1984 single released by the guitarist for the band The Police, Andy Summers for the soundtrack of the film 2010: The Year We Make Contact.

“2010” was a modern new-wave pop version of Richard Strauss’s Also Sprach Zarathustra (the main theme from 2001: A Space Odyssey). Though Summers’ recording was included on the soundtrack album and released as a single, it was not used in the film. For the B-side to the single, Summers recorded another 2010-based track entitled “To Hal and Back”, though this appeared in neither the film nor the soundtrack album.

Mark Holden – Who Do You Love? (Japan 7″ Promo)

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1983

“Who Do You Love?” was the second single taken from the self-titled fourth studio LP by Australian singer-songwriter Mark Holden. The album would also be his first release on American label Casablanca Records. “Who Do You Love?” was co-written by Holden, and only released as a single in Australia, and Japan failing to chart. Richard Carpenter covered the song for his solo album “Time” (1987).

Holden was a pop star in the 1970s and had four top 20 hit singles, “Never Gonna Fall in Love Again” (May 1976), “I Wanna Make You My Lady” (September), “Last Romance” (November) and “Reach Out for the One Who Loves You” (October 1977). Holden regularly appeared on the national pop music show, Countdown. Holden is remembered for his good looks and clean-cut image.

In the 1980s he worked as a songwriter in Los Angeles providing material recorded by Meat Loaf, Joe Cocker, Gladys Knight, Bob Welch, and Steve Jones. He was one of three original judges on the television series Australian Idol (2003–07) and the first season (2005) of The X Factor. In 2023, Holden voiced “The Old Man” in the narrative video game RoboCop: Rogue City.

After the lack of success of Mark Holden (LP), Holden focused on becoming a songwriter and music producer. He formed a company called Multimedia with Anthony Curtis and Dan Wilson and over the next decade co-wrote two top ten hits on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs for the Temptations, “Lady Soul” (June 1986) and “Look What You Started” (1987). There were also hits with Tracie Spencer, Joey Lawrence, Will Downing, a #1 dance hit with Kathy Sledge, and over 50 cover recordings of his songs from artists as varied as Belinda Carlisle, Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols, The Manhattans, Donny Osmond, José Feliciano, Fleetwood Mac, David Hasselhoff, Scarlett and Black and Branford Marsalis.
