BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1987
Re-Rip Remaster + Bonus Track
“Hooked On Love” was the third single released from Dead Or Alive’s third album “Mad, Bad and Dangerous To Know” continuing their association with the Stock Aitken Waterman production team.
“Hooked on Love”, suffered from very little promotion due to what the record company felt was a “Gothic” overtone that had been added to the song in a post-production remix. The single barely managed to scrape into the UK top 70 peaking at #69. “Hooked On Love” was only released in Europe, Australia and Japan.
As a bonus track I have added the live version of “Cake And Eat It” taken from the Ltd. Edition UK “Brand New Lover” 12″. All of the live tracks were recorded in 1985 at the Hammersmith Odeon.
This japanese first pressing contains a large fold out poster.
