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.

“Change of Heart” is the second single released by American singer Cyndi Lauper from her second album, True Colors on November 11, 1986. The single went gold in the US and peaked at No. 3 in the Billboard Hot 100.

As far as I know, both edits from the 7″ promo are vinyl-only mixes. Since the Shep Pettibone 7″ Edit appears on both sides of this 7″, I also included the “Single Edit” which was taken from another 7″ promo both releases have the same catalog number.
