Book Of Love – Boy (US 12″)

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1985

NEW 2021 Transfer!
NEW Meticulous Restoration!

Originally posted November 19, 2015

“Boy” is the title of the 1985 debut single by the American synthpop band Book of Love. The song was included on the band’s eponymous debut album Book of Love in 1986.

Although the song failed to reach the Billboard Hot 100 chart, it did make the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart, where it peaked at no. 7 in April 1985.

“Boy” was written by band member Theodore (“Ted”) Ottaviano and features a prominent tubular bells melody. The band secured a recording contract when the demo of the song was given to DJ/producer Ivan Ivan, who then passed it along to Seymour Stein of Sire Records.

The song is said to describe the frustrations of a woman with an affection for “a boy who likes boys”, with songwriter Ted Ottaviano adding in a 2016 Village Voice interview that the song was “written about Boy Bar, which was a very exclusive gay club in the East Village.”

Nick Kamen – Each Time You Break My Heart (US 12″)

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1986

An Auditory Gem From The BTG Archives!
NEW 2021 Transfer!
Meticulously Remastered!

Originally posted July 21, 2014

“Each Time You Break My Heart” is a 1986 song recorded by singer Nick Kamen. It was his debut single from his album Nick Kamen, released in 1987. The song achieved success in many European countries, including Ireland, Italy, UK, Swiss, and in the U.S. it was a top-five hit on the dance charts.

Written and produced by Madonna and Stephen Bray, it also cracked both the U.S. dance chart (remix by Shep Pettibone) and the Top 50 in Canada. Madonna had originally written and recorded the song for her “True Blue” album, but it did not make the cut. Her original version remains unreleased officially but has leaked onto the internet. It is almost identical in melody and structure to Kamen’s version.
