Alphaville – Jet Set (Jellybean Mix) (Germany 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1985

“Jet Set” is the fourth and last single from Alphaville’s first album, Forever Young, and was released in March 1985.

Re-recorded and released after founding band member Frank Mertens left the band, the 7″ version drops the word ‘The’ from the song’s title and is mildly different from the original album version.

Marian Gold said of the song, “We didn’t intend to write a proper song; it was supposed to be some kind of jingle that advertises things money can’t buy: anarchy, freedom, love, fun and a piece of the end of the world.”

The Deluxe Edition re-issue of the LP “Forever Young” is now available.

Crazy House – Burning Rain (Germany 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1987

-DjPaulT Recommended 12″

“Burning Rain” is a 1987 New Wave single by British duo Crazy House consisting of David Luckhurst and Peter Parsons. The single was produced by Steve Nye who has worked with artists such as Japan, Bryan ferry, Penguin Cafe Orchestra, and XTC. “Burning Rain” peaked at #43 on April 2, 1988, after spending three weeks on the U.S. Billboard Dance Chart.

In 1989 the band changed their name to Shrine Of Eight and re-released “Burning rain” as “Perfect Crime” which I posted in 2013 you can find it here. Pretty sure the “The Islamix” is the same as the “Generic Mix” on Side A of the “Burning Rain” 12″.
