David Bowie – Day-In Day-Out (Groucho Mix) (US 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1987

“Day-In Day-Out” is the first track on David Bowie’s album Never Let Me Down. It was issued as a single in March 1987, ahead of the album’s release.

Bowie wrote the song out of concern for the treatment of the homeless in the US. The song’s R&B roots were reminiscent of some of Bowie’s R&B work in the 1970s with one author saying that the song is “an example of Bowie’s strength in the R&B genre.”

The single’s B-side, “Julie,” was described by one reviewer as the “catchiest” song of all the songs from Never Let Me Down, and lamented that the song was relegated to b-side status

This Limited Edition US 12″ contains the “Groucho Mix” remixed by Paul “Groucho” Smykle and is only commercially available on this 12″. It did also appear on a UK 12″ promo.

David Bowie – Day-In Day-Out (US 12″ Promo)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1987

“Day-In Day-Out” is the first track on David Bowie’s album Never Let Me Down. It was issued as a single in March 1987, ahead of the album’s release.

The song criticised the urban decay and deprivation in American cities at the time, concerned largely with the depths a young mother has to sink to feed her child, including attempting to shoplift and becoming a prostitute. The video was banned and censored as a result.

The single was modest hit, entering the top 10 charts in several countries worldwide.

This US 12″ promo contains special edits by Shep Pettibone exclusive to this release. The sleeve and labels also list track A2 incorrectly it is actually the “Extended Dub Mix”.

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1987

Re-Rip Newly Remastered!

Originally I posted this one on September 9, 2010. But for those who may have missed it or if you are a new reader just discovering BTG. I decided to give this one a new rip with my newer Ortofon Super 30 stylus. This 12″ is also being posted in 24 bit flac for the very first time!

“Should’ve Known Better” is a song written and performed by American pop-rock singer Richard Marx, and released in August 8, 1987 as the second single from his eponymous debut album. The song peaked at number three on the US Billboard Hot 100 as well as #7 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart in 1987.

Marx became the first solo artist in recording history to reach the top three of the Billboard Hot 100 with four singles from a debut album.

Released in August 8, 1987 as the second single from his debut solo album, “Should’ve Known Better” entered the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 on September 26, 1987 at number 64, the highest debut of the week.
