BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1986
Although the UK received the most releases form Dead Or Alive, Japan somehow managed to make its mark in collectors eyes. As Dead Or Alive have received much adoration from the Japanese, the releases there have carried them far beyond Radio One. “Son Of A Gun” is one of those items released only in Japan. The track would become the fifth and final single released from “Mad, Bad And Dangerous To Know. The single was released just prior to the “Rip It Up” album and tour hence the picture sleeve. It is rumoured that the single is slightly remixed because Pete and the band always remixed their 7″ singles much like their 12″ counterparts. The track durations are a little different than the LP versions but not much.
This is a pretty rare Japanese item and one of my favorites from my collection.
