The Lover Speaks – Every Lover’s Sign (US 12″ Promo)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1986

-DjPaulT Recommended 12″

“Every Lover’s Sign” is a song by the British duo The Lover Speaks, released in 1986 as the third single from their self-titled debut album. It was written by David Freeman and Joseph Hughes, and produced by Jimmy Iovine and The Lover Speaks.

In October 1986, “Every Lover’s Sign” was released as the bands third single (and second in America). For its release as a single, Bruce Forest and Andy Wallace were hired to remix the song. Together, at Sigma Sound Studios in New York, they created a 7″ remix, along with an extended version (known as “New Extended Mix” or “New York Mix”) and a “Dub Mix”, both designed for club play. The “Dub Mix” was edited by The Latin Rascals (Albert Cabrera and Tony Moran) and additional keyboards provided by David Coles. Although it failed to chart in the UK, the song became a club hit in America, reaching No. 6 on the Billboard Dance Club Songs Chart on December 13, 1986, and remaining on the chart for nine weeks. Attempts to capitalize on the club success of the song, A&M tried to generate airplay to break the song onto the Billboard Hot 100, but they were unsuccessful. It was the duo’s only chart entry in the States.

Sandii & The Sunsetz – Dreams Of Immigrants (UK 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1982

For Immigrants and DREAMERS

-DjPaulT Recommended 12″

” Dreams Of Immigrants” is a 1982 single by Japanese new wave/synthpop band that collaborated from 1979 until the 1990s. The Sunsetz, led by Makoto Kubota, and Sandii started as separate artists, and each has a separate discography. However, their collaboration provided a particular body of work that is representative of the period, and which successfully blended Eastern, Western and pop influences.

“Dreams Of Immigrants” was penned by lyricist Chris Mosdell who has written lyrics for Sarah Brightman and Boy George; co-written lyrics with Michael Jackson had his work covered by Eric Clapton. The Sunsetz spent a lot of time in the UK, recording with David Sylvian and Fun Boy Three producer Dave Jordan. Sounds, NME and Melody Maker gave The Sunsetz extensive coverage which gave the group a lot of credibility in Japan, leading to increased record sales. Their live act gained many fans in the international music industry following their support slot on the final Japan world tour. The Sunsetz went on to tour and play festivals with Eurythmics, Inxs, Blondie and David Bowie.

**The two songs on the b-side are blended together forming one continuous mix. To keep the integrity of the original vinyl I did not split the tracks.
