Great song! Never heard the 12″ before … looking forward to hearing it! Thank you, Paul!
This is a blast from the past you just don’t hear anymore! I particularly liked his track Tumblin’ Down with the Tom Tom Club Genius Of Love bit in it. Thanks Paul!
I haven’t heard this single for a while. I liked it first time around.
Thanks Paul for your superior rip 🙂
Thank you, Paul!
You’re welcome Dean 🙂
Paul, like BE.D12” above, I echo his sentiments. It’s great to have remixes here featuring the talents of Justin Strauss and Chep Nunez too. I love them both, but I have a soft spot for the editing talents of Mr. Nunez. Burning The Ground is like this incredible showcase for the Edit Kings like Chep, The Latin Rascals, Greg Royal, Carlos Berrios and Oh-Oh-Omar Santana.

Thank you Jeff. I was needing to post this request for a while buy got caught up in my Associates series. I am so glad to finally have it posted. As you mentioned some of the best in the editing field are represented here 🙂
I don’t know how you do it all Paul. You’re postings are tremendous. I love The Associates postings because you’re giving a lot of the community here the best representation of their 12-inch discography that have been neglected over time. It’s so nice that you’ll be completing what you have. And boy, I just love when you present records that have crazy edits on them. I ADORE your tastes. They surely run the gamut. Just to think, you post disco classics, alternative,new wave and even, Karen Finley!! You are to be celebrated my friend!! Thank goodness we all have you.… Read more »
Oh what a great choice for the beginning of the new week!
I was waiting for the return of great remixers (such as Justin Strauss
here with the editing of Chep Nunez, one of the best ever!!!) – (RIP)
….
any chance to have also Pia Zadora, Shakespear’s Sister, The Jets or others remix
with his incredible touch?
more more more.
many thanks DJ Paul.
You’re welcome BE.D12” I will see what I can find 🙂
Thank you!
You’re welcome Scott. I apologize that it took so long 🙂

You’re welcome Jay65 🙂
