Talk Talk/Duran Duran – The Big Mouth Mega-mix / The Knock-out Mix (US 12″)

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1991

This is the scare DJ Service Megamix 12″ single from U.S.-based label ON-USound (Later known as Euro-Mixx). The 12″ features on the A-side “The Big Mouth Mega-Mix” by the British band “Talk Talk” who are best known for their 1984 hit “It’s My Life” which is featured as well as the 1982 hit “Talk Talk” in this nearly twelve-minute mega-mix of some of the band’s well-known tracks.

The flip side is for Duran Duran fans and is a must-have. The “Knock-out Mix” which features most of Duran’s biggest hits all continuously mixed. This megamix alone is worth hunting down this 12″ vinyl treasure, you will not be disappointed it’s a Duranie’s dream come true twelve minutes of Duran Duran bliss…

As with most of the ON-USound/Euro-Mixx titles, multiple sources were used to create these megamixes so quality does vary from track to track. I have made every effort to ensure the best-sounding transfer.

These are great Fan and DJ records, but most of the people on the dance floor get confused when I spin them

I love these On-USound vinyls (and Euro-Mixx and Black Wax). They are so hard to find! Thank you for adding another one to my collection!

yeah, that’s awesome. I only discovered your site about a year ago or so, but I generally replace my existing versions with yours, as they tend to be better quality!

Thanks for being so meticulous!

I’m pretty sure Paul wouldn’t mind, as it doesn’t interfere with his concept! But we should definitely wait for him to confirm… And I agree: I don’t doubt at all that his rips are a million times better. His transfers tend to even be superior to official digital releases. Crazy!

I have the 2 Black Wax compilations, if you need them. They are very similar to the Euro-Mixx megamixes.

Paul, you will probably have to approve the upload I just submitted (and let me know how long you want me to leave the links, perhaps 7 days?)

Martika, thank you for these very nice addition to my mix collection!
The only thing that irritates me is the difference between the tracks and the track list.

yeah, they were bootleg pressings (obviously) and came in various Vinyl and CD-R formats. I pulled the covers off Discogs just for reference, because my copies only had the front covers.Unfortunately, the catalogue/list on Discogs for this label is incomplete.

Thanks for sharing these rarities Christian! There must be 30-some odd megamixes between On-USound and Euro-Mixx, not counting the duplicate pressings. Even Paul might not have all of them in his vast library now that they are so difficult to source.

I would bet that Paul has a lot of them … perhaps we could persuade Paul to am an On-USound Advents Calendar this year … 24 On-USound vinyls in December leading up to Xmas!

They had to change the name because Adrian Sherwood, owner of the UK label On-U Sound Records, threatened to sue.

I’ve said it before, and I will continually say it: You DjPaulT are a GOD!!! Without even hearing this, I am blowing my load!!! Sorry for being crude, but these kinds of records are big time orgasms for me!! I love megamixes, especially with wild and insane edits. I can’t thank you enough Paul for this. Once heard, your followers will climax hard like me!!

Now to change my underwear!!
