BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1982
This record has my tears on it but I do believe that Pete would want us to celebrate his life and music. Rest in peace Pete.
“It’s Been Hours Now” is the first 12″ EP released by Dead Or Alive on Ian Broudies Black Eyes label in 1982. The tracks on this EP were recorded well before the band signed with a major label. According to front man Pete Burns they recorded the tracks to help finance the purchase of a sequencer so that he could turn his songs into disco records. In 1984 they would release their debut album “Sophisticated Boom Boom” on Epic Records.
