BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1987
“Heart and Soul” is a song by British pop band T’Pau. Featuring vocalist Carol Decker performing overlapping lyrics, the song was released as a single in 1987, taken from the album Bridge of Spies. Following its inclusion in a Pepe Jeans advert, the single reached #4 in both the US and UK charts. Although the 12″ sleeve states “On The Wing” as the b-side it is actually a misprint and does not appear on some copies of US 12″ single.

This was my SONG when it came out – so great to see it again. Thanks for posting this!
Love this song so much! Excited to listen to the 12″ mixes!! Thank you!
Thanks Paul. I only had this on a cassette compilation.
Dear Dj PaulT: I was looking for “China in your hand” maxi 45 T, that includes full lenght version, or any other acoustic or a capella version, have you got anything of this ???, Nowadays is very hard to find at least on the web. Anyway thanks for all the music taht you share with us.- Mario – Argentina

OK, so to clear up the confusion regarding this release. In the US, Virgin Records America released two versions of this 12″. One with the 4 mixes, as posted here, and one with what has become to be known as the Dance Mix, which is timed at 5:04 and two B sides. They were released in very similar (almost identical) sleeves. One version listed the four mixes on the back (2 mixes on side one, 2 mixes on side two). The other listed just one mix on the A Side (the Dance Mix) b/w On The Wing and Heart and… Read more »
If you do not have the alternate pressing, I’d be willing to donate it to your collection
Sounds good Sailer. Send me an email and we can go from there. You can find my email at the top of the blog in Contact/Social Media Tab 🙂
Which country is this T’Pau 12″ from. I have the U.S. 12″ and it the dance mix you have presented here is completely different. Most notably is the heavy use of the keyboard riff throughout and ‘dub’ vocals in the middle bridge. The US version I have is much closer to the standard radio single release, just longer and it includes a small acapella section
I pulled my 12″ out. Virgin Records America 0-96779 (UPC #0-7567-96779-0-7) Side 1: Heart and Soul(Vocal/Dance Mix) 5:04. Side 2: On The Wing (vocal)3:40, Heart and Soul (Vocal 7″ version) 3:40.
The one posted here is the US 12″. There were different pressings with misprinted sleeve. My 12″ says it has “On The Wing” but obviously it doesn’t. Also the track durations are different than what is on the labels. Here is the Discogs page for my 12″: http://www.discogs.com/TPau-Heart-And-Soul/release/394394
Great share. Thanks very much. Awesome!
You are welcome MOC 68!
Hope there’s more T’PAU on the way!!!
Excellent post, Paul…
You’re welcome Juliano. I think this is the only one I have but i’ll have to double check.
LOVING the Beats/Rap mix! Finally can understand the lyrics!
(sorry for the double post)
No problem Mike glad you are enjoying it 🙂
LOVE this song! Bridge of Spies is a great album
The remixes on this are so so good.
Does anyone know any other sites that have FLAC or HQ 12″ singles/Maxis etc?
Burning The Ground is pretty much the best there is. You won’t find another that puts as much time and effort into every post. The rips here are top notch.
I never really liked T’Pau. However this song was quite nice. Thanks Paul.
You’re welcome Omar.
As a big fan of T’Pau, it’s great to find this 12″ single in your site. There are not many dance mixes of their songs around, let alone on CD, so it’s fab to be able to have these files in super high PAULity! 😉
Thanks!!
You’re welcome Josmon10 🙂
Another of my favourites from 1987. Strange that with this massive hit, they didn’t do much since in the US.
Given the number of times (I think it was three) this was released before it became a smash, there are actually numerous 7″ versions and also two different 12″ mixes if I’m not wrong.
I have the German 12″ myself and I can’t wait to hear if yours is the same remix or a different one. Either way I’m still elated!
Thanks Paul, and my, someone is working overtime this week! Don’t work too hard, my friend. 😀
I have two copies of this 12″ but both have the same mixes. There are several other 7″ versions that you mentioned and I think a shorter club mix. I wonder who got the remix credit as the records don’t say? Yeah thought I would throw in a Saturday post since I missed a lot last week 🙂
Thanks for this Paul! Haven’t listened to T’Pau in eons…
You’re welcome George K 🙂
Oh yes!!!!
I remember when i bought the german 12″…
Thank you so much for sharing!!!!
You’re welcome Michael. Enjoy 🙂
Your ability to continue with positive surprises is simply amazing.I used to have both Hanging On A Heart Attack (Dance Mix) and Heart And Soul (Dance Mix) on a same cassette recorded from the 12 inches way back in 1987 and you have posted same records almost side by side.Thank you very much Paul.I will often repeat, (as before), in my comments that you are the king of twelve inches (if you don’t mind). 🙂
Sasomom Thank you i don’t mind at all that is a great compliment 🙂
Thank You, Love T’Pau she has a great voice
Thanks! Thanks!
Patrick
