Various – Hot Tracks 1989 Year End Medley (US 12″ Promo)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1989

As 2018 comes to a close and we begin a new year I thought it would be fun to post a set of medley’s that closed out the decade of generation X also known as the 1980’s. Hot Tracks was was an influential remix service that was  known for putting together great medley’s, the two featured here are no exception with Chris Cox and J.R. Clements at the mixing helm. Both megamixes feature some of the biggest club hits of 1989.

Wishing you all a safe and Happy New Year!

Dead Or Alive – Rip It Up (Flip Out Mix) (Japan 12″ Promo)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1987

Originally I posted this one back on July 26th, 2012. 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 2017 transfer. I have also included as a bonus the Hot Tracks remix of “Brand New Lover”.

Here is the MEGA RARE 1987 Japanese PROMO-ONLY 12″ “Rip It Up (Flip Out Mix)” from British band Dead Or Alive. This is one of the most sought after Dead Or Alive promos… very few in existence and very rare. This 12″ was used to promote the album “Rip It Up” and has never appeared on any other Dead Or Alive release. There were only about 100 copies of this 12″ made making it one of the rarest Japanese Dead Or Alive items.

Japanese PROMOS are by far the rarest of all promotional format. When finished with the vinyl, radio stations would either smash or throw away the promos to prevent resale. Japan stopped pressing vinyl mainstream in the mid 1990’s and switched to the CD format for most releases. The very existence of a Japanese PROMO is itself rare, much less a promo from Dead Or Alive!

SIDE B:
