BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1991

R E Q U E S T

“Love Is a Stranger” is a song by the British pop music duo Eurythmics, written by Annie Lennox and David A. Stewart. It was orinally released as a single in 1982. From the bands Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This).

In 1991 the song was rereleased in Europe to help promote the duo’s first Greatest Hits album. A Trip Hop feel to the 2 mixes on the A-side, with a rerecorded vocal and a cameo by unheard of rapper J.C. 001, apparently one-time ‘fastest rapper in the world’ but he actually doesn’t do much rapping on here. The best remix is the Coldcut mix on the b-side. The 1991 remix peaked at #54 on the UK singles chart.
