BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1985
Artist spotlight Australian band Pseudo Echo!
Periodically I will be doing blocks of singles by some of my favorite artists. For the next few days, I will be posting the singles that I have in my collection from Pseudo Echo most of these will be their U.S. 12″ singles which differ from singles released in Australia most of which I have already posted in the past. I hope you enjoy this run of singles from one of pop/new wave’s most underrated bands. They were so much more than “Funkytown”.
“A Beat for You” was released in the USA with two separate 12″ singles this is the first release which includes exclusive remixes by Paul Sabu, and Rusty Garner released in 1985 and produced by John Punter. The song originally appeared on the band’s debut LP Autumnal Park (1984).
For the U.S. market an updated 1987 version was included on the group’s follow-up album, Love an Adventure (1987). In the United States, the single did not chart.
To my knowledge, the two mixes included here are vinyl only.
