BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1984

Re-Rip Newly Remastered!

Originally I posted this one on June 29, 2011. 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 Super 30 stylus. This 12? is also being posted in 24 bit flac for the very first time!

“Mighty Mix” is a 1984 UK promo only 12″ released by new wave band Dead Or Alive.

Not quite as rare as the Japanese only “Flip Out” mix but still a rather scarce Dead Or Alive item.
Released only in the UK as a 12″ promo “Mighty Mix” is a megamix featuring tracks taken from Dead Or Alive’s debut LP “Sophisticated Boom Boom”, the “Mighty Mix (Part 1)” did appear as the b-side to You Spin Me Round (Like A Record) in several countries but was labeled as “Mighty Mix (Part 2)”.
