Altered Images – Don’t Talk To Me About Love (US 12″)

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1983

Vinyl-only U.S. Mix

“Don’t Talk to Me About Love” is a song by Scottish new wave band Altered Images, released as the first single from their third album, Bite. The single reached the top 10 in three countries; number 7 in the UK, and number 6 in both Ireland and New Zealand. The song was their last major hit, as the next three singles only had moderate to minor chart placings (“Bring Me Closer” was their last single to make the top 40 in the UK and Ireland, peaking at numbers 29 and 17, respectively).

The U.S. Mix is exclusive to the U.S. and Australia. To my knowledge, this 6:10 version has not appeared on CD.

Originally posted December 15, 2010

*Vinyl Only

“Romancing the Stone” is a song written, recorded, and produced by Eddy Grant, who released it from his 1984 album Going for Broke. It was intended for the 1984 feature film of the same name, announced by Casey Kasem on the 30 June 1984 edition of American Top 40 as the title song, but ultimately was used only briefly in the film. Clips from the film appeared in at least one official music video for the song, and the song is mentioned in the film’s closing credits. The single release also uses the film’s logo.

In the United States, the song reached number 26 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 22 on Cash Box during the summer of that year. It was a much bigger hit in Canada, reaching number seven. It was also a hit internationally, narrowly missing the Top 40 in Germany and the UK, but reaching number 28 in New Zealand.

“Romancing the Stone” was a hit on two other US charts. On the Soul chart, it went to No. 68, on the Dance charts, it peaked at No. 12.
