Dan Reed Network – Ritual (Germany 12″)

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1988

“Ritual” is the debut single recorded by American Rock band Dan Reed Network formed in 1984 by Dan Reed in Portland, Oregon. The band signed to Mercury Records with the help of Derek Shulman and was managed by Bill Graham. In late 1987, the group released their eponymous debut album, produced by Bruce Fairbairn and mixed by Mike Fraser at Little Mountain Sound Studios in Vancouver, British Columbia. “Ritual” was released as the first single peaking at #38 on the Billboard Hot 100 in February 1988. “Ritual” became the band’s only top-40 single in America.

This single was not released in the UK

The video was filmed on New Year’s Eve at the Starry Night Theater in Portland, Oregon. Lawrence Jordan directed the video – he had directed videos and concerts by The Who, Sting, Mariah Carey, Billy Joel, Tony Bennett, and the top-rated series “Live by Request” for the A & E Channel.

Lawrence Jordan wasn’t the only director in consideration for “Ritual”. DRN’s manager Bill Graham approached his good friend Francis Ford Coppola about working with his new band. Unfortunately, Francis had just lost his son and needed time to grieve.

Kim Carnes – Draw Of The Cards (Special Long Version) (Germany 12″)

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1981

NEW 2024 Transfer
NEW Meticulous Audio Restoration

Originally posted November 10, 2011

“Draw of the Cards” is a 1981 single, the second released from Kim Carnes’s Platinum-plus Mistaken Identity album.

Carnes said that the idea for the song came from when she went with her husband and co-writer Dave Ellingson and her producer Val Garay to visit her guitarist in the hospital. Carnes said she said “something about his illness being all in the draw of the cards.” Carnes continued “We wrote some lines that went with that theme, the later Bill [Cuomo] brought his Prophet synthesizer over, played a line he had, and we pulled out the lyrics to finish the song.”

The single reached #28 on the Billboard Hot 100 in September 1981, failing to match the chart success of its predecessor, “Bette Davis Eyes”, which reached #1.

The music video was directed by Australian Russell Mulcahy, who had also directed the video for “Bette Davis Eyes.” Wuench says the video “has some weird carnival activities and one long tongue by some creature of the underworld.” Mulcahy has directed music videos for artists such as Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet, and more.

The “Special Long Version” sometimes called “Extended Version” was only released on 12″ single for the European market.
