Jay Messina – Burning The Ground: DjPaulT's 80's and 90's Remixes

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1979

“Dirty Livin’ / 2.000 Man” is a Germany only 12″ single by American Rock band KISS both tracks were taken from the band’s seventh studio album “Dynasty” released in 1979.

“Dirty Livin’ ” features vocals by Peter Criss, and the only song on “Dynasty” on which Peter Criss drums, with the rest of the album being the work of session drummer Anton Fig. “Dirty Livin’ ” is also the second disco mix released by the band remixed by Jim Burgess who had also remixed the band’s previous 12″ “I Was Made For Lovin’ You” both singles released on Casablanca Records. The effect of the remix would be to take the pulsating rhythm of the original recording and make it more disco sounding, somewhat similar to the overall feel of “I Was Made For Lovin’ You.” This remixing would provide a rearrangement of the song and would also stretch the song’s length to 6:00. A 3:15 edit of this Jim Burgess remix was released as a promotional single in Mexico (Casablanca/PolyGram SN-210).

“2,000 Man,” is a cover of the 1967 Rolling Stones song, with Ace Frehley on vocals.
