BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1989

“I’m Not Scared” is a 1988 song recorded by British pop band Eighth Wonder. The group’s fifth single, the first single from the album Fearless, was released in 1988. It achieved success in France, Italy, Switzerland, Germany and the UK, where it was a top ten hit. Written by the Pet Shop Boys, the original version contains several words in French. “J’ai pas peur”, the B-side of the vinyl, is the French adaptation of “I’m Not Scared”.

The Pet Shop Boys also released their own version of the song, with Neil Tennant vocals, on the album Introspective.
