Billy Idol – Eyes Without A Face (US 12″ Promo)

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1984

Request

“Eyes Without a Face” is a song by the English rock musician Billy Idol, from his second studio album Rebel Yell (1983). It was released in June 1984 as the second single from the album. The song is softer and more ballad-like than most of the album’s other singles. It reached No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Idol’s first top-10 hit in the US. The recording features the voice of Perri Lister—she appeared in the banned video for “Hot in the City”—who sings “Les yeux sans visage” (French for “Eyes without a face”) as a background chorus. The title of the song refers to the English title of French director Georges Franju’s horror film Les Yeux sans visage (1960). The “Single Version” was not included on the 2024 expanded Edition of “Rebel Yell”.

Seduction – You’re My One And Only (True Love) (US 12″ Promo)

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1989

Request

“(You’re My One and Only) True Love” is a single by Seduction. Although uncredited, the lead vocals and background vocals were performed by Martha Wash, with additional background vocals by Seduction.

In 1989, Wash recorded the song “(You’re My One and Only) True Love” as a demo, produced by David Cole who would later form C+C Music Factory. Cole later gave the song to the then-upcoming female group Seduction. The song appeared on Seduction’s debut album Nothing Matters Without Love, released in September 1989, retaining the use of Wash’s lead vocals and adding Seduction’s background vocals to the song. In addition, she was only credited for her background vocals and Cole remixed and altered Wash’s lead vocals of the song to make her voice less recognizable on the song.

“(You’re My One and Only) True Love” was released as Seduction’s second single in July 1989. The single became an unexpected success when it peaked at number twenty-three on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and number three on the Dance chart. Wash would file a lawsuit against the producers and A&M Records for unauthorized use of her voice. The case reached an out-of-court settlement in December 1990.

Martha Wash was also uncredited as lead vocalist on tracks from Black Box, and C+C Music Factory.

Martha Wash did not appear in the song’s music video instead Seduction lip-synced to her vocals.
