Kim Wilde – You Came (The Shep Pettibone Mix) (US 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1988

“You Came” is the second single from the Kim Wilde album Close.

The single became one of the biggest hits of her long career topping the charts throughout Europe and reaching #3 in the UK Singles Chart. Although it did not continue her United States success, on the pop chart, it peaked at number ten on the dance chart.

The song was released during the summer of 1988, while Wilde was supporting Michael Jackson on the European leg of his tour (the video for “You Came” showed material from the concerts as well as backstage footage). With the Close album becoming a best-seller, this was arguably the point where Wilde was at the pinnacle of her career as “You Came” reached the top ten in charts all over the world.

The song was written by Wilde and her brother after the birth of his first child, Marty.

Kim Wilde – Go For It (US 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1985

Re-Rip Remaster

Originally I posted this one on August 10, 2010. But for those who may have missed it or if you are a new reader just discovering BTG. I decided to give this one a new rip with my newer Ortofon 30 stylus. This 12″ is also being posted in 24 bit flac for the very first time!

This is the North American release of the single “The Second Time” re-titled “Go For It”. The single also contains different mixes than what appeared on the European release.

“The Second Time”/”Go for It” was also the first Wilde song of which there were several remixes released both commercially and promotionally on the 12″ format.

In the US the single reached #65 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was a top 40 dance track reaching #31. The song was also used on season 4 of the US television show “Knight Rider” on the episode titled “Knight Racer”. In addition “Go For It” was also used on the TV show “Misfits Of Science” bothe shows aired on NBC just weeks apart.

Kim Wilde – The Second Time (UK 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1984

“The Second Time” is the first single from Kim Wilde’s 1984 album Teases & Dares. It was re-titled “Go for It” for the North American market. The song was written by Kim Wildes father (Marty Wilde) and brother (Ricky Wilde).

The track was also Wilde’s first release on the MCA record label. Her last few releases on her original label had failed to make an impact on the world’s charts, but this one finally put her back into the limelight in several European countries, and made #29 in the UK. It also marked her second chart entry in the US, where it peaked at #65.

The b-side “Lovers on a Beach” (an exclusive non-album track), was also extended for the 12″ single in some nations.
