Eurythmics – I Need A Man (US 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1987

“I Need a Man” is a song recorded by British pop music duo Eurythmics. It was written by band members Annie Lennox and David A. Stewart and produced by Stewart. Taken from their album Savage, the song was released as the third single in the UK and the first single in the United States.

The track is a pop/rock number with aggressive, commanding vocal work from Lennox, who lyrically explains all of the things she does not want in a man (“…and he don’t wear a dress!”). The music video was the second part of a series directed by Sophie Muller. Part one, for the song “Beethoven (I Love to Listen To)”, ended with Lennox’s character leaving her home after transforming herself from a dowdy housewife into a disco vixen à la Marilyn Monroe. Here, the character ends up performing “I Need a Man” in a dimly-lit nightclub.

“I Need a Man” climbed to number twenty-six in the UK singles chart. The first single released from Savage in the U.S., the song peaked at number forty-six on the Billboard Hot 100. The song was paired as a double A-side with “Beethoven” on the American 12 inch single and hit number six on the Hot Dance Club Play chart.

Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson – Say Say Say (US 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1983

NEW 2020 Transfer!
Meticulously Remastered!

Originally posted August 29, 2013

“Say Say Say” is a song written and performed by English musician Paul McCartney and American singer Michael Jackson, released in October 1983 as the lead single to McCartney’s 1983 album Pipes of Peace. Produced by George Martin, the song was recorded during the production of McCartney’s 1982 Tug of War album, about a year before the release of “The Girl Is Mine”, the pair’s first duet from Jackson’s album Thriller (1982).

After its release in October 1983, “Say Say Say” became Jackson’s seventh top-ten hit inside a year. It was a number one hit in the United States (his sixth number-one single there), Canada, Norway, Sweden, and several other countries, reached number two in the United Kingdom, and peaked within the top ten in Australia, Austria, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and over 20 other nations. In 2013, Billboard magazine listed the song as the 41st biggest hit of all time on the Billboard Hot 100 charts. It has also been voted the ninth-best collaboration of all time in a Rolling Stone readers poll.

The single was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America in December 1983, representing sales of one million copies. The single was promoted with an influential music video directed by Bob Giraldi. The short film centers around two con artists called “Mac and Jack” (played by McCartney and Jackson).
