The Rhythm Is The Power!
My name is Paul (also known as DjPaulT). I am a huge fan of 80s and 90s 12″ mixes. I was a club DJ for many years and I love the music from the 1980s and early 1990s. I grew up in Oklahoma City and Graduated from Midwest City High School. I now reside in Tulsa, Oklahoma. My passion has always been Music. I am a collector of mostly vinyl 12″ maxi-singles. I sometimes reminisce about how much I loved going into my local Sam Goody or Musicland store and looking at all of the new 12″ singles that had arrived. I always loved how producers could remix a song into something completely new. I loved buying my record and taking it home. I enjoyed looking at the big artwork and reading the production information while I listened to the different mixes. I even love the smell of a new vinyl record. Sadly all of the record shops began to close. I was left yearning for that experience of going to the record shop and finding many gems that are now forgotten. In July of 2007 I became frustrated with the music industry. I started noticing that people were hungry for all of the singles that had disappeared from stores. In July of 2007 I decided to open Burning The Ground on blogger. My goal was to provide the lost masterpieces that have remained mostly out of print. At first I didn’t know much about ripping vinyl. I soon discovered that vinyl ripping really is an art form. So I began ripping my old vinyl and I became more confident. As I got more involved in vinyl ripping, I eventually figured out that I could rip vinyl well. After much trial and error, people finally began loving the sound of my rips. Burning The Ground ended up getting well over a million visitors until blogger shut down the original site in March of 2010. Now a fresh new beginning has begun. Those that have seen me and my posts over the years know that I am very particular about my posts. I take great pride in offering the best quality that I can provide. I always disliked spending my time to download a favorite rare single on the internet and discovering that the single was a low quality copy. I do my best to provide good quality posts. Quality is what sets Burning The Ground apart from other blogs. I also wanted to go the extra mile and provide some liner notes with each post. I like to give information to you about each single. Someone told me once that when anyone ever wanted to know about 80s or 90s dance music and remixes, all they had to do was come to Burning The Ground. I hope that you find something that you like while visiting Burning The Ground. I am so glad I have all of you here with me on this musical journey. DjpaulT

The 12-inch single (often simply called 12″) is a type of gramophone record that has wider groove spacing compared to other types of records. This allows for louder levels to be cut on the disc by the cutting engineer, which in turn gives a wider dynamic range, and thus better sound quality. This record type is commonly used in disco and dance music genres, where DJs use them to play in discos or clubs. They are played at either 33⅓ or 45 rpm. History Of The 12″ The gramophone records cut especially for dancefloor DJs came into existence with the advent of recorded Jamaican mento music in the 1950s. By at least 1956 it was already standard practice by Jamaican sound systems owners to give their “selecter” DJs acetate or flexi disc dubs of exclusive mento and Jamaican rhythm and blues recordings before they were issued commercially. Songs like Theophilus Beckford’s Easy Snappin’ (recorded in 1956) were played as exclusives by Sir Coxson’s Downbeat sound system for years before they were actually released in 1959 – only to become major local hits, also pressed in the UK by Island Records and Blue Beat Records as early as 1960. As the 1960s creativity bloomed along, and with the development of multitrack recording facilities, special mixes of rocksteady and early reggae tunes were given as exclusives to dancehall DJs and selecters. With the 1967 Jamaican invention of remix, called dub on the island, those “specials” became valuable items sold to allied sound system DJs, who could draw crowds with their exclusive hits. The popularity of remix sound engineer King Tubby, who singlehandedly invented and perfected dub remixes from as early as 1967, led to more exclusive dub plates being cut. By then 10″ records were used to cut those dubs. By 1971, most reggae singles issued in Jamaica included on their B-side a dub remix of the A-side, many of them first tested as exclusive “dub plates” on dances. Those dubs basically included drum and bass-oriented remixes used by sound system selecters. The 10″ acetate “specials” would remain popular until at least the 2000s (decade) in Jamaica. Several Jamaican DJs such as DJ Kool Herc exported much of the hip hop dance culture from Jamaica to the Bronx in the early 1970s, including the common Jamaican practice of DJs rapping over instrumental dub remixes of hit songs (See King Stitt, U Roy, Dennis Alcapone, Dillinger), ultimately leading to the advent of rap culture in the United States. Most likely, the widespread use of exclusive dub acetates in Jamaica also led American DJs to do the same. In the United States, the 12-inch single gramophone record came into existence with the advent of disco music in the 1970s. The first 12″ (30 cm) single was actually a 10″ (25 cm) acetate used by a mix engineer (José Rodríguez) in need of a Friday night test copy for famed disco mixer Tom Moulton. As no 7″ (18 cm) acetates could be found, a 10″ (25 cm) blank was used. Moulton, feeling silly with a large disc which only had a couple of inches of groove on it, asked Rodríguez to re-cut it so that the grooves looked more spread out. Because of the wider spacing of the grooves, a broader overall dynamic range (distinction between loud and soft) was made possible. This was immediately noticed to give a more favorable sound for discothèque play. Moulton’s position as the premiere mixer and “fix it man” for pop singles ensured that this fortunate accident would instantly become industry practice. This would perhaps have been a natural evolution: As songs became much longer than had been the average for a pop song, and the DJ in the club wanted sufficient dynamic range, the format would have surely had to be changed from the 7 inch (18 cm) single eventually. Also worth noting is that the visual spacing of the grooves on the 12″ assisted the DJ in locating the approximate area of the “breaks” on the disc’s surface (without having to listen as he dropped and re-dropped the stylus to find the right point). A quick study of any DJ’s favorite discs will reveal mild wear in the “break points” on the discs’ surfaces that can clearly be seen by the naked eye, which further eases the “cueing” task (a club DJ’s tone-arm cartridge will be heavily weighted and mild wear will seldom spoil the sound quality). Many DJ-only remix services, such as Ultimix and Hot Tracks, issued sets with deliberately visualised groove separations (i.e., the record was cut with narrow and wider spacings that could be seen on the surface, marking the mix points on the often multi-song discs). A broader dynamic range or louder recording level requires more space as the grooves’ excursions (i.e., the width of the groove waves and distance traveled from side to side by the turntable stylus) become much greater in amplitude, especially in the bass frequencies so important for dance music. Many record companies began producing 12-inch (30 cm) singles at 33⅓ rpm, as the slower speed enhances the bass on the record. By the same token, however, 45 rpm gives better treble response and was used on many 12-inch singles, especially in the UK. The first very first 12″ single was released in 1973 by soul/R&B musician/songwriter/producer Jerry Williams, Jr. aka Swamp Dogg. 12″ promotional copies of “Straight From My Heart” were released on his own Swamp Dogg Presents label (Swamp Dogg Presents #501/SDP-SD01, 33⅓ r.p.m.), with distribution by Jamie/Guyden Distribution Corporation. It was manufactured by Jamie Record Co. of Philadelphia PA. The B-side of the record is blank. The first official promotional 12″ single was Southshore Commissions’ “Free Man”. At first, these special versions were only available as promotional copies to DJs. Examples of these promos, released at almost the same time in 1975, are GARY TOMS EMPIRE – “Drive My Car”, DON DOWNING – “Dream World”, BARRABAS – “Mellow Blow”, THE TRAMMPS – “Hooked for Life”, ACE SPECTRUM – “Keep Holdin’ On”, SOUTH SHORE COMMISSION – “Train Called Freedom”, THE CHEQUERS – “Undecided Love”, ERNIE RUSH – “Breakaway”, RALPH CARTER – “When You’re Young and in Love”, Michael ZAGER & The Moon Band feat. Peabo BRYSON – “Do It With Feeling”, MONDAY AFTER – “Merry-Go-Round”, THE RITCHIE FAMILY – “I Want To Dance” and FRANKIE VALLI – “Swearin’ to God”. The first song found on a 12″ single is “Love to Love You Baby” by Donna Summer, released worldwide by Atlantic Records in 1975. By 1976, with the release of “Ten Percent” by Double Exposure on Salsoul Records, the new format was being sold to the general public. This song was originally a full side of her North American debut release, but released again in early 1977 backed with “Try Me, I Know We Can Make It”, on the Oasis/Casablanca label. As from 1976, the issued 12″ single trend spread to Jamaica, where hundreds of reggae 12″ singles were pressed and commercially issued as “discomix” to catch on the disco hype. These singles included The Maytones’ “Creation Time” (GG Records, 1976) and Bob Marley and the Wailers’ “Keep on Moving” (Upsetter Records, 1977) produced and remixed by Lee “Scratch” Perry, featuring a dub mix and a rap mix by Wung Chu all gathered on the same side and edited together. The Jamaican reggae and disco trend also hit London, where reggae was popular and many new punk groups such as The Clash (“London Calling”/”Armagideon Times”, 1979) issued 12″ singles – but these were mostly regular A-sides, not remixes. Increasingly in the 1980s, many pop and even rock artists released 12-inch singles that included longer, extended, or remixed versions of the actual track being promoted by the single. These versions were frequently labeled with the parenthetical designation “12-inch version”, “12-inch mix”, “extended remix”, “dance mix”, or “club mix”. Later musical styles took advantage of this new format and recording levels on vinyl 30 cm (12 in) maxis have steadily increased, culminating in the extremely loud (or “hot”) cuts of drum and bass records of the 1990s and early 2000s (decade). Many record labels produced mainly 12-inch singles (in addition to albums) during the 1980s, such as Factory Records, who only ever released a handful of 7-inch (18 cm) records. One of Factory’s resident artists, alternative rock/dance quartet New Order, produced the biggest-selling 12-inch record ever in the United Kingdom, “Blue Monday”, selling about 800,000 copies on the format and over a million copies in total. It was somewhat helped by the fact that Factory did not release a 7-inch version of the single until 1988, five years after the single was originally released as a 12-inch-only release. “Blue Monday” came in 76th on the 2002 UK list of all-time best-selling singles. Maxi-singles The term “12-inch” usually refers to a single with several remixes. Now that advances in compact disc player technology have made the CD acceptable for mixing and “turntablism”, the term maxi single is increasingly used. In the mid-late 1980s, prior to the rise in popularity of the CD single, vinyl maxi-singles for popular artists often included “bonus” songs that were not included on albums, just as a 7″ single included a B-side cut that was often not to be found on the referenced album. Many CD singles contain a number of such cuts, in a manner similar to the older EP vinyl format. In the days of the 7″ single, and especially in R&B releases, the single would occasionally be “flipped” by radio DJs who found the B-side cut to be better for airplay than the intended A-side. One noteworthy example is the now-classic “I’ll Be Around”, the first of the Spinners’ Thom Bell-produced hits for Atlantic Records in the mid-1970s. Around the time 12″ releases became standard for pop records, this practice faded, because of the increase in marketing costs, the reliance on video to sell single releases, and the public’s expectation of quality packaging with photo or picture sleeves.

Tracklist: 01.A Flock Of Seagulls - Heartbeat Like A Drum (6:55) 02.A Flock Of Seagulls - Heartbeat Like A Drum (4:00) 03.A Flock Of Seagulls - Heartbeat Like A Drum (6:55) 04.A Flock Of Seagulls - The Effects Of The Sun (12:29) Left with three members with the departure of Paul Reynolds, the band waited and toured. Brothers Mike and Ali Score wanted to base the band out of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. With past success in the USA, both brothers thought leaving the UK and a new life in America was a perfect solution. With the popularity of the first two albums and the name "A Flock of Seagulls" still having some equity, they had 4 straight sell-out shows in Philadelphia. Mike, Ali and Frank Maudsley all applied for and were conditionally awarded green cards based on celebrity status under the O-1 work visa. The conditional approval was granted to all three, who settled in Philadelphia. Frank became disillusioned with living in a strange city; he loved A Flock of Seagulls but had no family. Missing the UK, he returned to England. Mike and Ali stayed in Philadelphia and satisfied the terms of the visa. With Frank in Britain and the brothers in the USA it would appear the band was split into two camps. In fact it was Frank Maudsley who kept the band communicating. Unfortunately the brothers had a falling out that resulted in Mike remaining as the sole remaining original member of the touring band and Ali going to Boston. Ali played in a hard rock band and then worked for a computer company in Cambridge once the work visa turned into a permanent resident. Frank was the go-between for the brothers and, during the recording of Dream Come True, some have indicated that Ali played on only 3 songs, Frank on 4 and Mike did all 9. One of the songs that all three did play on was entitled "Cosmos (Effect of the Sun)" and was dropped from the album. This dropping of the song brought the track listing down to 9 songs for the album. A large row ensued where Frank and Ali wanted to drop "Love on Your Knees" and include Cosmos. It was with this argument that two videos, "Who's That Girl" and "Heartbeat Like a Drum," were filmed in quick succession. These two videos were the last time the three remaining members were together in a recording or music capacity until 2004. "Heartbeat Like A Drum" was the second single released from the album "Dream Come True" and included the dropped album track "The Effects Of The Sun" as the b-side. "Heartbeat Like A Drum" failed to chart in the US or UK. This Canadian 12" contains the same mix on A1 and B1 and oddly the mixes are not named. **Please note there may be a bit of vinyl noise on B2 as a purist I left this noise as to not further damage the recording with extra processing.
Tracklist: 01.ABC - Vanity Kills (U.S.A. Remix) (5:38) 02.ABC - ABC Megamix (8:52) "Vanity Kills" is a song by English new wave and synth-pop band ABC, released as the third single from their third studio album, How to Be a ... Zillionaire!

Tracklist: 01.AC, DC - Who Made Who (Special Collectors Mix) (4:48) 02.AC, DC - Guns For Hire (Live Version) (5:24) “Who Made Who” is a single by the Australian Hard rock band AC/DC, taken from their 1986 album, Who Made Who. It was one of only three new tracks on Who Made Who, because the album is not only a soundtrack to Stephen King’s Maximum Overdrive, but a compilation album featuring tracks from previous albums. In the UK the single peaked at #16. In the US "Who Made Who" did not make it onto the Billboard Hot 100 but did chart at #23 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart in May 1986.
Tracklist: 01.a-ha - Hunting High And Low (Extended Version) (6:00) 02.a-ha - Hunting High And Low (Remix) (3:45) 03.a-ha - The Blue Sky (Demo Version) (3:16) "Hunting High and Low" is a song by the Norwegian band A-ha. It was released as the final single from the band's debut album of the same name, in 1986. "Hunting High and Low" was released in the summer of 1986 and became the third most successful single from Hunting High and Low on the charts and one of the band's most recognizable and popular songs. The song didn't chart in the U.S., but was a Top 5 hit in Britain and in Ireland. The original album version was produced by Tony Mansfield and is played with synthesizers. For release as a single, the track was remixed, containing additional production by Alan Tarney and features an orchestra. Coldplay, who have made their admiration of A-ha known, have been known to perform this song in concert. The video was directed by Steve Barron, and once again utilises animation techniques which show singer Morten Harket "morphing" into various animals (an eagle, a white shark, and a lion). In 1986, the British TV show Blue Peter featured a special documentary on the making of the "Hunting High and Low" video.
Tracklist: 01.a-ha - I've Been Losing You (Extended Mix) (7:02) 02.a-ha - I've Been Losing You (Dub) (4:26) 03.a-ha - This Alone Is Love (4:32) "I've Been Losing You" is a song by Norwegian band A-ha. It was the first single taken from their 1986 Scoundrel Days album. It reached number one in Norway, and number eight in the UK. It achieved worldwide sales of over 1.1 million copies. The music video was shot in a wide arena in Los Angeles. "This Alone Is Love" was the B-side, in an earlier, rawer form than the one that was re-recorded for Stay on These Roads. Both versions can be easily differentiated by their duration and the use of certain instruments. The earlier version is notable for its organ solo that sets in at 3:36 until the end of the song. The Scoundrel Days version is notable for its guitar solo. It is derived from a song by Waaktaar and Furuholmen's previous band Bridges.
Tracklist: 01.a-ha - Train Of Thought (U.S. Mix) (7:02) 02.a-ha - And You Tell Me (1:50) 03.a-ha - Train Of Thought (Remix 7" Version) (4:12) "Train of Thought" is a song by Norwegian band A-ha, released on 24 March 1986 as the fourth single from their debut studio album, Hunting High and Low (1985). The lyrics for this song were based on the existentialist authors and poets Gunvor Hofmo, Knut Hamsun and Fyodor Dostoevsky – Pål's favourites at the time. It was A-ha's third consecutive top-10 single in the UK, reaching number eight. The song was not released as a single in the United States.
Tracklist: 01.Airborn - Midnight On Mars (Special Power Mix) (6:34) 02.Airborn - Midnight On Mars (Special Mars Mix) (4:02) 03.Airborn - Agony (3:21) "Midnight on Mars" is a 1986 single by German AOR (Album Oriented Rock) band Airborn.

Tracklist: 01.Alice Cooper - He's Back (The Man Behind The Mask) (3:24) 02.Alice Cooper - Billion Dollar Babies (Recorded Live) (3:20) 03.Alice Cooper - I'm Eighteen (Recorded Live) (4:33) "He's Back (The Man Behind the Mask)" is a song by American shock rock musician Alice Cooper. It was released as the lead single from his 1986 album Constrictor, and the theme song of Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives, a slasher film and sixth part of the Friday the 13th film series released in the same year. The song is heard various times throughout the film and in the end credits. Two other songs, "Teenage Frankenstein" (also from Constrictor) and "Hard Rock Summer" (which remained commercially unreleased until 1999) are also featured in the film. The song features the famous "ki-ki-ki ma-ma-ma" (admittedly in its popular misheard version, "ch-ch-ch, ha-ha-ha") sound effect, a trademark of the Friday the 13th series. "He's Back (The Man Behind the Mask)" was a minor chart success, popular among fans of Cooper's later work and enthusiasts of slasher films. It has been called "strangely new wave-ish and said to "perfectly enscapulate the Friday the 13th films and the era in which they came to prominence. The 7" single featured a "live" version of "Billion Dollar Babies" as its B-Side. The 12" single featured "Billion Dollar Babies (Recorded Live)" as well as a haunting "live" version of "I'm Eighteen". Both versions were in fact originally recorded in the studio for the Alice Cooper a Paris TV special in 1982 during the Special Forces era, which were remixed in 1986 with crowd noise to resemble "live" recordings.
Tracklist: 01.Alisha - Stargazing (5:46) 02.Alisha - Stargazing (Radio Edit) (3:56) 03.Alisha - Stargazing (Dub) (7:11) "Stargazing" was the fourth single released by Brooklyn, New York native Alisha from her self titled debut album. "Stargazing" debuted on the US Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart on May 5, 1986 spending eight weeks on the survey peaking at #16 becoming her fourth consecutive top twenty dance single.
Tracklist: 01.Alison Moyet - Is This Love? (L.A. Mix) (Extended Version) (5:23) 02.Alison Moyet - Is This Love? (Seven Inch Version) (3:57) 03.Alison Moyet - Blow Wind Blow (Long Version) (6:18) "Is This Love?" is a song performed by the English singer Alison Moyet and co-written by Moyet and Jean Guiot. The name Jean Guiot is a false one given by Dave Stewart of Eurythmics who actually co-wrote and produced the song. The song was released as the first single from the yet-to-be released album Raindancing in November 1986. The single peaked at #3 on the UK singles chart, #4 Ireland, #3 Norway and #2 South Africa. In the US the single failed to chart. The music video was filmed at Carlyon Bay near St Austell in Cornwall at the now closed down Cornwall Coliseum entertainment venue, and along the Carlyon Bay beach.

It was released only in Europe. This song was described as one of the album's best songs and reminiscent of the kind of music that their contemporaries the Pet Shop Boys might produce.Despite the praise, the song is one of singer Marian Gold's least favorite Alphaville songs ever, saying simply that "the lyrics are the most embarrassing ones I've ever written".

Recorded for the soundtrack of Playing for Keeps, it was released as a single in the US by Atlantic Records. Various session musicians perform the other instruments, including bass (likely Mark Egan), guitar, and possibly drums, as it is unclear whether Roger Taylor had already left the band prior to the song's recording. This record was only released as a promotional 12 inch in the United States. No stock copies were ever made.
Tracklist: 01.Arcadia - The Flame (Extended Remix) (7:16) 02.Arcadia - Flame Game (Yo Homeboy Mix) (2:48) 03.Arcadia - Election Day (Early Rough Mix) (9:05) "The Flame" is the fourth single released by the Duran Duran offshoot band, Arcadia. It was released by Parlophone Records in 1986 and was the group's third UK single. It reached number 58 in the UK Singles Chart. In the U.S. the single was released on Capitol Records and did not chart. The campy, slapstick video was made in the retro style of an Edwardian-era drawing room murder mystery, à la Agatha Christie and Alfred Hitchcock. The storyline revolved around a series of comic disasters that befall an awkward, nerdish character (played by Simon Le Bon) and his girlfriend while visiting a haunted house. Nick Rhodes plays the debonair host of the dinner party at the house, and he frequently uses Le Bon as his comic stooge for a number of macabre and mildly sadistic sight gags. Various unsavory bits of business ensue with revolving walls, trapdoors and mysterious assassins hidden behind paintings and within exotic taxidermied animals. The slapstick comic interplay between Rhodes and Le Bon is faintly reminiscent of Abbott and Costello. At one point, John Taylor (at the time a member of The Power Station, the other Duran Duran side project) comes out of the closet with a contract for the band to sign. This is an especially pointed inside joke, as it was around this time that the three remaining Duran Duran members were preparing to write and record their next album, Notorious, while in legal negotiations with their now-estranged guitarist Andy Taylor. The video's treatment is said to have been written by Rhodes and the various near-fatal pratfalls that occur to Le Bon's character was intended as punishment for his decision to enter the Fastnet yachting race that almost cost him his life in August 1985. In fact, Le Bon was in the middle of the South American leg of the 1986 Whitbread Round the World yacht race when he had to fly to Spain in April to shoot the video. He then flew straight back to rejoin his team in Uruguay. The video was directed by longtime collaborator Russell Mulcahy.
Tracklist: 01.Aretha Franklin & George Michael - I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me) (Extended Remix) (7:25) 02.Aretha Franklin & George Michael - I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me) (Percappella) (5:14) 03.Aretha Franklin & George Michael - I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me) (Edited Remix) (5:30) "I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)" is a Grammy Award-winning number-one song performed by Aretha Franklin and George Michael as a duet in 1987. It was written by Simon Climie and Dennis Morgan. It also stands as Franklin's biggest hit at the Adult Contemporary chart, spending several weeks at number two. The song was a one-off project that helped Michael achieve his ambition to sing with one of his favorite artists, and it reached number-one in both the UK Singles Chart and Billboard Hot 100. The song was Franklin's first and only UK number-one hit, and only her fourth top ten achievement in the country since "I Say a Little Prayer", nearly two decades earlier. This was also the last of Franklin's seventeen top 10 hits in the Billboard Hot 100. For Michael, it became his third consecutive number-one in the UK since going solo, following 1984's "Careless Whisper" (though the single was actually from the Wham! album Make It Big) and 1986's "A Different Corner". In the US, it was Michael's fourth number-one hit, counting his Wham! days. The single was the first Michael had recorded (as a lead artist) that he had not written himself. The co-writer, Simon Climie, was unknown at the time, although he later had success as a performer with Climie Fisher in 1988. On the US Billboard Hot 100, "I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)" debuted at number 59, the week of February 21, 1987, reaching number-one in its ninth week, April 18, 1987, and remaining there for two consecutive weeks.

Tracklist: 01.Bananarama - A Trick Of The Night (The Number One Mix) (8:15) 02.Bananarama - A Trick Of The Night (Tricky Mix) (7:17) 03.Bananarama - A Trick Of The Night (Dub Mix) (4:31) "A Trick of the Night" is a mid-tempo ballad recorded by English girl group Bananarama. It was written and produced by Steve Jolley and Tony Swain and released as the final single from Bananarama's album True Confessions. The song was re-recorded for UK single release, with new synthesizer tracks and vocal arrangement by the Stock Aitken Waterman (SAW) production trio, at the request of London Records for the UK release. The cautionary message in the lyrics are directed towards a friend who has gone to seek his fortune in the big city and ended up a rentboy. "A Trick of the Night" was a top-40 hit in the UK, peaking at number 32. The SAW-remixed version received the most airplay in their home country, while the ballad version stalled at number 76 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. The single spent one week in the Australian Kent Music Report top 100 singles chart, where it peaked at number 99. "A Trick of the Night" peaked at number 24 in Ireland. The song was included on the CD version of Greatest Hits Collection as a bonus track; it was not included on the vinyl version nor their 2001 compilation The Very Best of Bananarama. It was included on the soundtrack to the 1986 American film Jumpin' Jack Flash. Lyrics from the Number One Mix, were sampled on Bananarama's "I Heard a Rumour" B-side song "Clean-Cut Boy". Two videos were filmed for the song. The North American version was directed by Andy Morahan featured the girls singing the song in a house at night, with their images projected on movie screens. The release of the single in the UK was delayed until February 1987, so that Bananarama could participate in a BBC television show called In at the Deep End. Each week Chris Serle or Paul Heiney would have to master a new skill - in this case, Paul Heiney had to master the art of directing a pop music video (the episode was similar to MTV's Making the Video programme) for this song. Group members Sara Dallin, Siobhan Fahey and Keren Woodward hated the final product.
Tracklist: 01.Bananarama - More Than Physical (Muscle Mix) (10:00) 02.Bananarama - More Than Physical (Garage Mix) (8:45) 03.Bananarama - More Than Physical (Dub) (4:58) "More Than Physical" is a song written and performed by English girl group Bananarama. It was one of two tracks on the group's True Confessions album produced by the Stock Aitken Waterman (SAW) trio instead of Jolley & Swain. The album version of the track is different from the single. In order to capitalize on the number-one success of previous single "Venus" (the other True Confessions track produced by SAW), "More Than Physical" was given a Hi-NRG-influenced make-over to sound similar to the dance-oriented chart-topper. Even with heavy exposure on MTV, "More Than Physical" did not duplicate the success of "Venus", stalling at number forty-one on the UK singles chart and number seventy-three on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. It was a top-forty success in Australia, where it peaked at number twenty-eight in the ARIA chart. Its biggest success was in nightclubs, and "More Than Physical" became a top-five hit on the U.S. Hot Dance Club Play chart. "More Than Physical" was featured in the 1986 British film Rita, Sue and Bob Too starring Michelle Holmes and Siobhan Finneran. The song is featured in the scene where the girls are babysitting for Bob and Michelle, and they dance around the living room while the video to "More Than Physical" plays on the television. The bassline of the track is derivative of the 70's disco hit "Boogie Oogie Oogie" by A Taste Of Honey. The remixed single version's music video further capitalized on Bananarama's new glamorous and sexy visual image by including several well-muscled, topless men in a montage of shots of the group members. Some of the shots were made with colored filters, and are juxtaposed with tightly cropped shots of body parts or movements in slow motion.
Tracklist: 01.Bananarama - Venus (The Hellfire Mix) (9:20) 02.Bananarama - Venus (Fire & Brimstone Mix) (6:44) 03.Bananarama - Venus (Extended Version) (7:26) 04.Bananarama - Venus (Dub Version) (8:17) "Venus" is a 1969 song written by Dutch musician Robbie van Leeuwen. In 1970, the Dutch rock band Shocking Blue took the song to number one in nine countries. In 1986, the British female pop group Bananarama returned the song to number one in seven countries. "Venus" had been a part of Bananarama's repertoire for several years before they actually recorded it. The group's three members, Sara Dallin, Siobhan Fahey, and Keren Woodward, had the idea of turning the song into a dance music tune, but they were met with resistance from their producers at the time, Steve Jolley and Tony Swain. Bananarama brought the idea to the production trio of Stock Aitken Waterman, and it became Bananarama's first collaboration with them. Dallin, Fahey, and Woodward had nearly completed recording their third album, titled True Confessions, with Jolley and Swain. Stock, Aitken and Waterman also resisted the idea because they believed that "Venus" would not make a good dance record. After persistence by the women, SAW relented. Bananarama's "Venus" went to number one in the US, Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland, Mexico, and South Africa. It hit number two in Germany and Hong Kong and was a top ten success in Italy, Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Portugal, Spain, and their native UK (number 8 on UK Singles Chart). It also went to number one for two weeks on the US Dance chart. The collaboration on "Venus" led Bananarama and SAW to work together on the group's follow-up album Wow! the following year. The music video, directed by Peter Care, with choreography by Bruno Tonioli, received extensive play on MTV and video channels across the world, and presented Bananarama in various costumes, including a she-devil, a French temptress, a vampiress, and several Greek goddesses. In one sequence of the video, The Birth of Venus, the painting by Sandro Botticelli is adapted as a tableau vivant. The video marked a pivotal shift towards a more glamorous and sexual image for the girls that contrasted with the tomboyish style of their earlier work.

After the single's release Geffen Records thought Bang`s sounds were too underground to release on an album, so the band ended up recording independent singles for Trax Records. Band founders Vince Lawrence and Evie formed the production company J.X. Bang and concentrated more on producing other artists, they quit making Bang Orchestra records in late 1987.

The song reached a peak of number three on the UK Singles Chart in November 1986 and reached number one in the US on December 20, staying at the top of the Hot 100 for four weeks, carrying it over into January 1987. The song is the first song by an all-female group playing their own instruments to top the Billboard singles chart. The success of the song and "Manic Monday" propelled Different Light to number two on the Billboard 200 chart, making it the group's most successful album. "Walk Like an Egyptian" was one of the songs which were claimed to have been banned by Clear Channel following the September 11, 2001 attacks. Snopes in researching this found that the list was simply suggestions regarding songs to be sensitive in regards to when playing. It was also included in a "list of records to be avoided" drawn up by the BBC during the Gulf War.
Tracklist: 01.Beat Rodeo - Everything I'm Not (4:45) 02.Beat Rodeo - I'm Not Afraid (Doesn't Matter To Me) (3:00) "Everything I'm Not" is a 1986 single by American band Beat Rodeo from New York City.

The single was produced by Scott Litt who produced six albums for R.E.M. in the late 1980s and early to mid-1990s during the band's most successful period. Although "Everything I'm Not" got some airplay at college stations, none of Beat Rodeo's albums or singles were hits, and IRS dropped them from the label; the band broke up soon thereafter. "Everything I'm Not" was taken from the band's second and final LP Home in the Heart of the Beat.
Tracklist: 01.Benjamin Orr - Stay The Night (4:26) 02.Benjamin Orr - That's The Way (4:08) "Stay the Night" is a song by The Cars vocalist and bassist Benjamin Orr. It was included on his 1986 solo debut album The Lace, and released as a single in the end of 1986. "Stay the Night" reached #24 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the beginning of 1987, becoming Orr's only Top 40 hit as a solo artist. Prior to recording his solo album, Orr had been a founding member, along with singer and songwriter Ric Ocasek, of The Cars. The Cars' first Top 40 hit, "Just What I Needed", featured Orr on lead vocals, as did their biggest hit, "Drive", from 1984's Heartbeat City. Following The Cars' 1985 Greatest Hits release, the band split up to pursue solo projects, with both Orr and Ocasek releasing solo albums in 1986, lead guitarist Elliot Easton having released one in 1985. Weeks before "Stay the Night" entered the US Top 40, Ocasek himself was in the Top 40 with his own solo hit "Emotion in Motion". In both cases, those would become the only US Top 40 solo hit for both Cars members respectively. The band reunited to record 1987's Door to Door, which produced "You Are the Girl", their last Top 40 single. Sadly Benjamin Orr died of pancreatic cancer on October 3, 2000 at age 53.
Tracklist: 01.Berlin - Like Flames (Extended Version) (7:02) 02.Berlin - Trash (3:40) 03.Berlin - You Don't Know (Extended Version) (5:32) 16Bit "Like Flames" is a song by American band Berlin released in 1986 as the lead-off single of their third album Count Three & Pray. Berlin worked with Canadian producer Bob Ezrin on the album. The producer, best known for his work with Alice Cooper and KISS, gave the record a radically different '80s pop-rock guitar sound than Berlin's previous releases, which had a more new wave/synth-pop sound. Berlin singer Terri Nunn and their label, Geffen Records, were approving of the change of sound, but it did not sit well with founding member John Crawford and drummer Rob Brill, who wrote the song. The recording of the album wasn't a relaxed affair, as differences of opinion between band members plagued the recording sessions. These clashes were further exacerbated by the recording of the group's previous single, the worldwide #1 hit "Take My Breath Away" from the soundtrack of the film Top Gun, which Nunn was eager to record, while the other two members were not excited about due to the song not being written by them (it was written and produced by Giorgio Moroder), and with a sound not representative of the band. "Like Flames" was released as the lead-off single from the album in October 1986 and, following up "Take My Breath Away", a #1 record in September of that year, was expected to do well. However, the record and the album did not find chart success, peaking at #82 in the US and becoming their last chart hit in that country. In Europe, the record performed better on the strength of "Take My Breath Away", reaching the top 20 in several countries, but still it was only a moderate hit. In the UK, "Like Flames" was released as the second single off the album in March 1987, following "You Don't Know", which was released as the next single elsewhere. It peaked at #47 there. Nunn has blamed the lack of success to the sudden change of style for the band, which alienated their established fanbase of their synth-pop albums, and failing to gain new fans from their new-found fame with "Take My Breath Away", because the album sounded nothing like it, although the hit song was included on the album at the insistence of Geffen to capitalize on its success. The record's lack of success and their internal clashes eventually led to the demise of the band in 1987.

The "Mother of Mercy Mix" differs quite significantly from the single version; it is a harder sounding song, with a prominent heavy guitar riff dominating most of the track and an 'interlude' with distorted female groans. It is this version that is featured on the remix compilation album Vital Idol 1987 US/1988 Japan editions. The UK 12" was also released as a limited-edition picture disc.

It was a comeback hit (their first release on Polydor Records), achieving their highest chart placing for four years. The song was written by Mike Myers and Tony Gibber and was produced by Myers along with the group's regular producer Andy Hill. According to the group, the recording of the song took an unusually long time due to the vocal tracks. As well as the group recording their vocals repeatedly, there was also a children's choir and gospel choir used on the track. The musicians in the studio also were used on distant back-up vocals. Member Cheryl Baker remembers one version where Hill instructed them to deliberately sing out of tune, which she found difficult. The original mix of the song was completed in February 1986. "New Beginning" (as it is very often more simply referred) was originally recorded a year earlier by Force 8 - who were actually pop group The Dooleys under an assumed name. The theme of the song is one of hope where the narrator talks about building a happier world, with some parts of the song sung in Swahili and Spanish. The video for the single depicts the group performing the song in a Metropolis-type setting backed by dancers and drummers - due to the heavy drum sound on the track. The song was released in May 1986 and was seen as a comeback single as it was their first release in eight months and featured new member Shelley Preston who had replaced Jay Aston a year earlier. It was also their first release on new record label, Polydor after their five-year contract with RCA had finished. The song was notable for its full and lavish production and multi-layered vocal work and received much praise from critics as well as becoming very popular on radio. The song became a big hit in the Summer of 1986. After entering at No.55, the song rose sharply to No.24 becoming instantly their biggest hit for three years. Two weeks later the single entered the top 10 at number eight where it stayed the following week. The song remained on the charts for 10 weeks and became the 93rd biggest-seller of the year. "New Beginning" achieved their highest chart position for four years, but was also their last UK top 40 hit. In the United States the single did not chart.

Bowie was good friends with the film's director, Julien Temple (who had worked with him in 1984 on the Jazzin' for Blue Jean short film), and landed both the supporting role of Vendice Partners, and the deal to record the theme song. The sessions, at Abbey Road Studios, were set up in a novel way, with a group of session musicians all receiving a card to work at the studio with "Mr X", who turned out to be Bowie. The sessions were completed rapidly, but the song was delayed due to the problems with completing the film. Virgin wanted the release to tie in with the film's opening. Shortly after the sessions wrapped, Mick Jagger flew in to record "Dancing in the Street", which used many of the same musicians. The song fused 1950s-style doo-wop with Bowie's 1980s sound. The single reached No. 2 in the UK charts, and No. 53 in America. Bowie has since performed it live on his Glass Spider and 2000 tours.

It was released as a single in limited markets worldwide in January 1987. Bowie wrote and recorded five songs for Labyrinth, in which he also starred as Jareth, the king of the goblins. "Magic Dance" was written for a scene in which Jareth and his goblins entertain a crying baby that has been wished away to them by the film's heroine, Sarah Williams. In the film, Bowie performs the number with Toby Froud as the baby, and 50 puppets and 12 costumed extras as the goblins. Described as a "simple dance number that's driven by electric bass and emphatic drums" "Magic Dance" includes song lyrics that refer to the film The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer (1947) starring Cary Grant and Shirley Temple, in which the two have a call and reply verse: "You remind me of a man." "What man?" "The man with the power." "What power?" "The power of hoodoo." "Who do?" "You do!". In "Magic Dance," "man" is replaced with "babe" and "hoodoo" with "voodoo". According to Nicholas Pegg, the verse is an "old playground nonsense-chant" that was originally popularized by The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer. Bowie performed the baby's gurgles in the song recording of "Magic Dance", as backing vocalist Diva Gray's baby, the intended vocalist, wouldn't gurgle on the microphone. In the actual scene of the film, baby vocals were dubbed in by a more cooperative infant. During the movie's production, and in the end credits, the song was referred to as "Dance Magic." Magic Dance" is the third track on the Labyrinth soundtrack, released in July 1986 to coincide with the film's US premiere. In 1987 the song was released on 12" in limited markets, including the US. A single version was mixed but never released, and an edit of the "Dance Mix" (incorrectly labeled as the 'single mix') was released on the New Zealand edition of Best of Bowie (2002). The single was not released commercially in the UK until the digital download version was made available in early 2007. In 1986, "Magic Dance" peaked at #40 in New Zealand. At the time of Bowie's death in 2016, "Magic Dance" was the 19th highest selling Bowie song digitally downloaded in the United Kingdom.
Tracklist: 01.David Bowie - Underground (Extended Dance Version) (7:51) 02.David Bowie - Underground (Dub Mix) (5:58) 03.David Bowie - Underground (Instrumental Version) (5:54) "Underground" is a song from the soundtrack of the film Labyrinth, performed by David Bowie. The track was something of an experiment for Bowie, dabbling in gospel music to a small extent, helped by a large chorus of backing vocalists and blues guitarist Albert Collins, but retaining use of synthesizers. The song also featured backing vocals by Cissy Houston, Chaka Khan, Luther Vandross and others. The single reached #21 in the UK Singles Chart. In the US the single reached #22 on the Billboard dance chart.
Tracklist: 01.David Bowie - When The Wind Blows (Extended Mix) (5:40) 02.David Bowie - When The Wind Blows (Instrumental) (3:47) "When the Wind Blows" is a song from the soundtrack of the film of the same name, performed by David Bowie. It marked the second contribution from Bowie to a film based on a Raymond Briggs book – he contributed a filmed introduction to The Snowman in 1982. Bowie's song was the result of a collaboration with multi-instrumentalist Erdal Kizilcay, who would work with Bowie in the future, most notably on The Buddha of Suburbia. The single peaked at UK No. 44, promoted by a video that featured a montage of clips from the film, with Bowie's animated face overlaid. Since then, the song has become something of a rarity, appearing rarely on reissues and best-of compilations. Unlike most instrumental B-sides from the 1980s, the instrumental version of "When the Wind Blows" is not simply a version of the song with vocals dubbed, but a completely different orchestral recording.

The song became Dead or Alive's second Top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100, as well as their first number-one single on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart. The song was a moderate international success.
Tracklist: 01.Dead or Alive - Brand New Lover (Up Ducky Mix) (6:28) 02.Dead or Alive - Brand New Lover (The Dust Monkey's Love Bubble Club Mix) (9:04) I originally posted the U.S. 12" way back in July, 2012 that single contained four tracks at 33 RPM which I always thought lacked a bit of dynamic range since the tracks are a bit more compressed onto the record. This time around I decided to give the 45 RPM pressed Japan 12" a new restoration/transfer I had posted it in 2011 but removed it after posting the U.S. 12" in 2012 sonically I think it sounds much better giving each mix it's own side to strech out it's grooves. I hope you guys enjoy this new transfer. "Brand New Lover" is a song recorded by the British band Dead or Alive. It was the lead single released from the band's third album, Mad, Bad, and Dangerous to Know on Epic Records. It achieved international success when released as a single in 1986. The lyrics describe the singer's desire to leave his current partner for one who is more exciting. His motivation is that he admittedly does not desire a stable relationship with one partner, but rather is "a pleasure seeker." The song proved to be more successful in the U.S. and in Japan than in the band's native UK, where it reached number 31. In the US, "Brand New Lover" peaked at number 15 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart (The band's second and last single to reach the top 20), and spent two weeks at #1 on the American dance chart in December 1986.

Continuing their association with the Stock Aitken Waterman production team, “Something In my House” reached #85 on the US Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart and also topped the US Billboard Hot Dance Chart peaking at #3. The song also did well in the UK where it peaked at #12. This particular US 7" promo is quite rare.

The album included one of the band's best-known songs, "Something in My House", tonally very Gothic and with a sleeve depicting Pete Burns in front of what appears to be a Satanic altar, featuring an inverted crucifix. A 12" version of the song, the "Mortevicar Mix", featured sampling of dialogue from the soundtrack of "The Exorsist" and a sampling from the George A. Romero American movie trailer from his film "Day of the Dead" (1985). The US 12" includes four hot mixes. My favoriteis the latin flavored "Flamenco Mix".
Tracklist: 01.Dead Or Alive - Something In My House (Mortevicar Mix) (6:59) 02.Dead Or Alive - Something In My House (XXX Naughty Mix) (6:59) “Something In My House” Clean & Dirty Mixes is a rare 1986 UK 2-track white label promo-only 12" featuring the “Mortevicar Mix” and the now legendary “XXX Naughty Mix” with explicit samples from The Excorist. This 12″ was pressed to only 500 copies and was distribeted by Dead Or Alive after Epic Records refused to release it. The “Mortevicar Mix” is a cleaned up edit of the “XXX Naughty Mix” containing samples from the 1985 horror film "House" along with samples from "The Exorcist". “Something In My House” was released in the UK in December 1986 as the second single from the band's third studio album, Mad, Bad and Dangerous to Know.

Tracklist: 01.Dead Or Alive - Son Of A Gun (4:16) 02.Dead Or Alive - Come Inside (4:19) Although the UK received the most releases form Dead Or Alive, Japan somehow managed to make its mark in collectors eyes. As Dead Or Alive have received much adoration from the Japanese, the releases there have carried them far beyond Radio One. "Son Of A Gun" is one of those items released only in Japan. The track would become the fifth and final single released from "Mad, Bad And Dangerous To Know. The single was released just prior to the "Rip It Up" album and tour hence the picture sleeve. It is rumoured that the single is slightly remixed because Pete and the band always remixed their 7" singles much like their 12" counterparts. The track durations are a little different than the LP versions but not much. This is a pretty rare Japanese item and one of my favorites from my collection.
Tracklist: 01.Dead Or Alive - Youthquake Medley (Razormaid Mix) (10:11) 02.Dead Or Alive - It's Been A Long Time (Razormaid Mix) (6:21) "Youthquake" is the second studio album by the English pop band Dead or Alive, released on 3 May 1985 by Epic Records. The album was their commercial breakthrough in Europe and the United States, due to the lead single "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)", which was a UK No. 1 hit and a Top 20 hit in the United States. Additional single releases from the album included "Lover Come Back to Me", "In Too Deep" and "My Heart Goes Bang (Get Me to the Doctor)". This was Dead or Alive's first collaboration with the Stock Aitken Waterman production team. The recording was marked by tension and clashes between band and producers, which engineer Phil Harding alleges almost escalated to violence. In 1986 one of the most influential Remix services Razormaid released Chapter A.2 which included a medley of tracks taken from "Youthquake" along with a remix of the downtempo album track "It's Been A Long Time" both were remixed by razormaid c-founder Joseph watt. Both tracks were originally released on Yellow transparent vinyl on the issue Razormaid Chapter A.2. I also created custom art for this release.
Tracklist: 01.Debbie Harry - French Kissin' (Dance Mix) (7:25) 02.Debbie Harry - French Kissin' (Edit) (4:12) 03.Debbie Harry - French Kissin' (Dub Version) (8:02) 04.Debbie Harry - Rockbird (LP Version) (3:10) "French Kissin" a.k.a. "French Kissin' in the USA" is a song recorded by the American singer Debbie Harry. Released in 1986, it was the first single to be taken from her album Rockbird. It was written by Chuck Lorre, who would later create the hit television sitcoms Dharma & Greg and Two and a Half Men among others. The song was released as the album's first single in November 1986, and became a moderate radio hit in the US, peaking at #57 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song was also Harry's biggest success in the UK, where it reached #8 (her only solo Top 10 single there to date). For promotion, Harry did a live performance of "French Kissin" and "In Love with Love" on Saturday Night Live, as well as a handful of television interviews in the UK and U.S. in late 1986. A music video was also made and subsequently played on video stations. Besides the regular formats 7" and 12" the single was also released as a limited edition 12" picture disc in the UK. Harry also recorded a French language version of the track which was released as the B-side of other Rockbird singles and was also included on the 1988 Blondie/Debbie Harry remix compilation Once More into the Bleach. A cover of the song by Carol Chapman was also featured in the 1989 movie Troop Beverly Hills.
Tracklist: 01.Depeche Mode - But Not Tonight (Extended Mix) (6:17) 02.Depeche Mode - Breathing In Fumes (6:04) 03.Depeche Mode - Stripped (Highland Mix) (6:42) 04.Depeche Mode - Black Day (2:37) "But Not Tonight" is a single released in the United States by synth-pop band Depeche Mode. In the UK the single was flipped and "Stripped" was the A-side released as the first single from Black celebration. The band's U.S. label Sire Records, however, decided to use the B-side "But Not Tonight" on the soundtrack to the movie Modern Girls and included the song on US editions of Black Celebration. As a result, the single was flipped, and released as "But Not Tonight" in the United States to help promote the movie. The band was not happy with this decision, seeing "But Not Tonight" as a useless pop track recorded in less than a day. The single did not chart. Surprisingly, despite previous criticism of the song by the band, an acoustic version of "But Not Tonight" was sometimes performed by Martin Gore on Depeche Mode’s Delta Machine Tour and is included in the 2014 album "Live in Berlin. The two B-Sides are "Breathing in Fumes" and "Black Day". "Breathing in Fumes" was a new song using samples from "Stripped", mixed by the band and Thomas Stiehler. "Black Day" is an acoustic, alternate version of "Black Celebration" sung by Martin Gore, and is co-written by him, Alan Wilder, and producer Daniel Miller – the only Depeche Mode song where Miller receives a writing credit. The 7" and 12" versions on the US "But Not Tonight" single are different versions than used on the UK singles – they were remixed by Robert Margouleff.

It is the second Depeche Mode single with Martin Gore on lead vocals, after "Somebody", and the first to be released in its own right. However, the 12" single was released as a double A-side with "A Question of Time" in the US, like "Somebody". The single hit number 28 in the UK singles charts. In West Germany, the single became a top ten hit. In the US a "Remix Edit" was done by Robert Margouleff and can only be found on this 12" promo and Canadian and US 7" promo singles.

Tracklist: 01.Duran Duran - Notorious (Extended Mix) (5:15) 02.Duran Duran - Notorious (45 Mix) (3:59) 03.Duran Duran - Winter Marches On (3:24) "Notorious" is the fourteenth single by the English new wave band Duran Duran. It was released internationally by EMI on 20 October 1986. "Notorious" was the first single issued from Duran Duran's fourth album Notorious (1986), and the first released by Duran Duran as a 3-piece band after the departure of Roger Taylor and Andy Taylor. It was a commercial success worldwide, reaching number seven on the UK Singles Chart and number two on the US Billboard Hot 100, and was a success in various other countries. "Notorious" marked the debut of the new streamlined trio version of Duran Duran, as Andy Taylor and Roger Taylor had left the band by the time the album was released. In fact, the acrimonious nature of Andy Taylor's departure was reflected in the song to a certain degree. According to songwriter Simon Le Bon, the lyric "Who really gives a damn for a flaky bandit" was a direct dig at the guitarist. As a trio, the band had enlisted the help of Nile Rodgers to take over production duties. His funk influences can be heard throughout the single - for example, the tempo and the use of The Borneo Horns brass section. Rodgers also played the guitar on the single. For the first time, the B-side to the 7" single was not an original recording; "Winter Marches On" was an unaltered version of the Notorious album track. Before this, Duran Duran had always provided either completely original songs or previously unheard remixes on the B-side. As a first for the band, "Notorious" was released as two separate 12" singles. The first had a Nile Rodgers produced "Extended Mix" while the second featured a remix by The Latin Rascals.

Dub) (7:16) "Meet El Presidente" is the 16th single from Duran Duran, and the third single from the Notorious album. According to a studio report in Star Hits magazine, one of the early drafts of this song was called "One of the Faithful". A demo version using that name can be found on several bootlegs. The album version of the song is considerably different from the version used on the single and remixes and on the video. The album version has the same tempo but slightly different drums during the chorus, while the other versions use stronger basslines, a horn section, increased percussion (most notable during the lyric "Hell has no fury like a young girl's ego"), and female backing vocals (including a recurring "Ooh ooh" hook). In these ways, the non-album version is somewhat more similar to songs recorded for the subsequent Big Thing album than it is to other songs on Notorious. "Meet El Presidente" peaked at #24 (April 25, 1987) in the UK and #70 (May 2, 1987) on the US Billboard Hot 100). In Italy the single reached #10.

Tracklist: 01.Electric Light Orchestra - Getting To The Point (4:28) 02.Electric Light Orchestra - ELO Megamix (10:07) 03.Electric Light Orchestra - Secret Lives (3:28) I found "Getting To The Point" to be very fitting for the world that we find ourselves in today. "Getting to the Point" is a song by the rock group Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) from their 1986 album Balance of Power. Released in the UK as the last single from the album in July 1986, it was the last original release from the band for 15 years. Due to a strike on Epic's distribution department at the time of its release, the single did not make much of an impression on the singles chart. It peaked at number 95 in the UK. There was no release in the rest of Europe. The B-Side of this single is the 1986 Balance of Power album-track "Secret Lives". It was meant to be a separate single outtake as labelled on the Balance of Power album cover (Dutch pressings with JET or EPIC Label Catno. 26467). There was also a UK 12 inch Epic 3 track version with the "ELO Megamix" on the B-side. The mix featured the songs from A New World Record, Out of the Blue, Discovery, Time and Balance of Power. It was mixed by Paul Dakeyne for DMC.

The Fine Young Cannibals' music video for the song was filmed in black & white, and remains so for the majority of the song. However, the video is noted for its innovative use of colorization, following the bridge section of the song. The video pays its homage to Elvis, both in its use of the monochrome filming (common during Elvis' early career) and the shiny spangled suits that the band wear in the second half of the video. In the United States the single reached No. 23 on the Billboard Dance chart on June 28, 1986.

The article stated: "Floy Joy, much praised but barely charted (like Working Week, another of our undiscovered faves), sound like they have the key to both the U.S. and U.K. charts with "Weak in the Presence of Beauty" (Virgin/U.K.), a Don Was production that's sort of Shannon-meets-"Every Breath You Take". Addictive."

Taking on a rockier edge, "Rage Hard" was the first single culled from the album. In a 1986 interview, singer Holly Johnson was asked about the meaning of the song explaining, "Have you read the poem 'Do Not Go Gently Into That Good Night' by Dylan Thomas? It was kind of inspired by that. It's an incantation against death and lethargy, and it's supposed to encourage lots of creative idealism in the listener." Not only was it the first Frankie single to be featured on CD single, it was also the first single to not feature a cassette release—new rules limited the number of items that could count towards the official charts, following the earlier ZTT excesses. "Rage Hard" eventually hit number 4 in the UK Singles Chart and number 1 in Germany for two weeks, #5 in Switzerland, #7 in the Netherlands, #12 in Austria, #19 in Sweden and #32 in France.

Tracklist: 01.George Michael - A Different Corner (Single-Edit) (3:57) 02.George Michael - A Different Cornar (Instrumental) (4:13) 03.George Michael - A Different Corner (Full-Length Version) (4:30) "A Different Corner" is a song written and performed by George Michael that was released on Epic Records (Columbia Records in the US) in 1986. "A Different Corner" was written by Michael while Wham! were at their peak as a duo, and during a low point in his life: "I felt like shit. I went in and recorded exactly the way I felt, and that's the way it sounds. It was partly Wham! and partly the end of a relationship. It was the farthest I'd ever fallen, and in a very short period of time. I had to get rid of it somehow, I had to write about it. That's a really perverse side that I'm sure a lot of writers have—'I feel like shit, but maybe I'll get a good song out of it.'" Michael admitted that "A Different Corner" was the "most honest" and personal song he had ever done. He elaborated further on the song's meaning: "That was about a very quick relationship, a here today gone tomorrow one. It's amazing how emotional you can get in a short period of time and how long it can last. Someone can really shake you up and it takes you a long time to get yourself back on your feet; that was what that was about." According to Michael, the song took roughly 14 hours to write and record from beginning to end. The synthesizer textures were created with a Roland Juno-60 synthesizer. At the time of its release in March 1986, Michael was still a member of pop duo Wham! (the song is included on Wham!'s album Music from the Edge of Heaven only released in Japan and North America, as well as their compilation album The Final, released worldwide), though he and partner Andrew Ridgeley had announced that they would split in the summer after a farewell single, album and concert. Michael had already enjoyed a solo number one on the UK Singles Chart in 1984 with "Careless Whisper", which was credited as Wham! featuring George Michael in the US. After radio DJ Simon Bates first aired "A Different Corner" on Radio 1, he rated the song so highly that he immediately played it again from the beginning. Michael went back to the top of the UK chart with "A Different Corner", becoming the first solo act in the history of the UK chart to reach number one with his first two releases, although he was hardly an unknown or new act on either occasion due to his previous hits with Wham!. The song reached number 7 on the US Billboard Hot 100, thus becoming the first single credited solely to Michael to become an American top-ten hit which was enough to make American executives at Epic Records confident that Michael would be viable as a solo artist and helped get the gears in motion for his solo album debut Faith. It was the first song to reach number one in the UK charts to be written, performed and produced by the same person. The song was also remixed for his compilation Ladies & Gentlemen: The Best of George Michael. This version omitted the guitar and Michael's background vocals during the instrumental break.

It was released in January 1986 as the lead from their debut album, The Thin Red Line. The song reached number-one in Canada and number 2 in the United States. The song features backing vocals by rock singer Bryan Adams. In 1985, Glass Tiger chose Jim Vallance to produce the band's debut album. At the time, Vallance was primarily known as a songwriter, having written most frequently (and successfully) with Bryan Adams. He also had some previous production experience, having produced one album apiece by Adams, Doug and the Slugs and CANO in the early 1980s. The band's lead vocalist Alan Frew recalled: "It worked out great because we were all at the same stage of development. He didn't change the sound of the band at all. He let us experiment but wasn't afraid to get heavy-handed when he had to." Vallance composed "Don't Forget Me (When I'm Gone)" with the band, while Adams provided backing vocals. Frew - "On the very first day that we met Jim Vallance, he picked us up at the airport and to break the ice asked us what we were listening to. One was Tears For Fears. We went to his house and drank tea and listened to some tunes. 'Everybody Wants to Rule the World' came on and we really liked the shuffle beat. So we went into the studio and based on this shuffle beat, we wrote 'Don't Forget Me (When I'm Gone)'. First day, first song." "Don't Forget Me (When I'm Gone)" topped the Canadian Singles Chart in March 1986, and spent two weeks at number 1. The single was certified platinum by the Canadian Recording Industry Association in July. The song entered the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in July, peaked at number 2 in October - kept from number 1 by Janet Jackson's "When I Think of You" - and spent 24 weeks on the chart. It reached number 1 on the Singles Sales chart and number 6 on the Hot 100 Airplay chart. The song also peaked at number 17 on the Mainstream Rock chart, number 30 on the Adult Contemporary chart, and number 34 on the Billboard Year-End singles chart of 1986. The single reached the top 15 in Australia, number 27 in New Zealand, number 29 in the United Kingdom, and number 40 in the Netherlands. Frew credited the song's chart performance to "solid record company involvement" and the band's international appeal. "We aren't rewriting musical history by any means," he added. "But our melody lines are strong and mature enough to appeal to the English-speaking world." The song won the 1986 Juno Award for Single of the Year, and was named top Canadian single in the Rock Express magazine readers' poll awards in 1987. In 1996, the Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada honored the song for airing more than 100,000 times on Canadian radio.

Tracklist: 01.Howard Jones - No One Is To Blame (Extended Mix) (5:14) 02.Howard Jones - The Chase (2:54) 03.Howard Jones - No One Is To Blame (The Long Mix) (3:09) "No One Is to Blame" is a song by British musician Howard Jones. The song, in its original version, can be found on his second studio album, Dream into Action, which was released in 1985. Following the success of the previous singles taken from the album, the original track for "No One Is to Blame" was re-recorded to give the song a more radio-friendly sound. Phil Collins and Hugh Padgham produced the re-recording, with Collins adding his own backing vocals and drum work. This new version of the song was included on the 1986 US EP Action Replay as well as the CD version of Jones's 1986 studio album, One to One. "No One Is to Blame" was released as a single in March 1986 and became Jones's biggest hit in the United States, peaking at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song also became the first of his two #1 songs on the U.S. adult contemporary chart ("Everlasting Love" would top this chart in 1989). The song was also a top 10 hit in Australia and a #16 hit in the U.K.. The song is about unfulfilled attractions, saying that they're normal and commonplace ("We want everyone - no one ever is to blame"). It uses a number of metaphors, such as "You can look at the menu, but you just can't eat" and "It's the last piece of the puzzle, but you just can't make it fit," to describe the frustration of experiencing attraction but being unable to act on it, for whatever reason. On a deeper level it describes the frustration and pain of unfulfilled desires and dreams inherent in the human condition. "The Long Mix" is significantly shorter than the single; it is actually not a remix, but an entirely different piano and vocal-only version of the song recorded in session for the BBC Radio 1 Janice Long show.

Tracklist: 01.Human League - Human (Extended Version) (5:06) 02.Human League - Human (A Cappella Version) (2:01) 03.Human League - Human (Instrumental Version) (5:04) "Human" is a song recorded by British synthpop band The Human League, and released as the first single from their 1986 album Crash. The track, which deals with the subject of infidelity, was written and produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. In 1985, the recording sessions for the Human League's fifth album were not going well, and the band did not like the results, which was causing internal conflict. Virgin Records executives, worried by the lack of progress from their at-the-time most profitable signing, suggested the band accept an offer to work with producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, who already had material to work with; and had expressed an interest in the band from their U.S. releases. Jam and Lewis had recently emerged as in-demand talent due to their success with Janet Jackson and her Control album. Of the ten songs on Crash, Jam and Lewis wrote three, "Human" being one of them. It is a mid-tempo ballad which lyrically is an exchange between a man and a woman in a relationship who have reunited after a separation. In the first two verses Philip Oakey is apologizing to his partner for being unfaithful during her absence, and in the song's breakdown Joanne Catherall's spoken-word confession reveals that she too was unfaithful. The song's title is derived from the chorus, in which both parties in the relationship explain that they are "only human" and "born to make mistakes". The song is a composition in common time with a tempo of 102 beats per minute. It is set in a key of A♭ major, with a chord progression from D♭-E♭-f. "Human" became the second million-selling and final number-one single for The Human League on the US Billboard Hot 100 (after "Don't You Want Me") and their second chart-topper on the U.S. Hot Dance Club Play chart (after "(Keep Feeling) Fascination"). Jam and Lewis' R&B-based production was also popular on American urban radio, bringing the Human League into the top ten of the U.S. R&B chart for the first time. The song hit #1 in the US; however, in the UK, where R&B was less popular, "Human" peaked at number eight in the UK singles chart.

This 12" is the third released by the band after they were signed to Tommy Boy Records. Producer Joey Gardner heard the song and brought it to Tommy Boy Records, a forward-thinking label that specialized in rap and freestyle. Gardner remixed the track for Tommy Boy, which released the song as a single in 1986. The song did well in dance clubs and on radio, earning the group an album deal with Tommy Boy. That self-titled album was released in 1988 and included the track. Group founder Paul Robb wrote this song with Murat Konar, who was associated with Information Society for just a short time but was key in putting together Creatures Of Influence. Like most of the songs on the album, Konar handled the lead vocals. When Tommy Boy Records remixed the track they replaced Konar's vocals with Kurt Harland's, since Harland had emerged as lead singer and Konar had moved on to other pursuits. The longing lyric finds the singer in real pain and feeling very alone. In an interview with Paul Robb, he explained: "It's basically someone who is in a relationship where it's not working, and you have a sense of things falling apart. You're doing your best to keep it together, but it doesn't seem to be working. There's also a certain level of nostalgia in that song, too - that's what really hooked a lot of people. It does have that monstrously huge dance beat, the electro feel, but the song that's laid over the top is very romantic and nostalgic sounding." After being remixeed the re-issue of "Running" peaked at #10 on the U.S. Billboard Dance Chart on July 21, 1986 after spending nine weeks on the survey. **The 12" was housed in the same picture sleeve as the previous 1985 release except with an orange Tommy Boy Records hype sticker added.

In Australia, the single effectively became a double-A side when the B-side "Under the Boardwalk" received significant airplay and both tracks were listed together on the singles chart, reaching #18. According to Mellencamp biography Born in a Small Town, Mellencamp was initially reluctant to include "R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A." on Scarecrow, feeling the song was too light-hearted to include alongside the otherwise grim songs such as "Rain on the Scarecrow" and "Face of the Nation". Mellencamp told Timothy White in a 1986 article for the Illinois Entertainer of his decision to include "R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A." on Scarecrow: "It was one of those absolute last-split-second decisions. I was only including it on the cassette and CD copies of Scarecrow as a bonus party track, but my manager loved the energy of it and I thought, 'Yeah! What the hell!'" Mellencamp required his band to learn how to play about 100 songs from the 1960s before recording Scarecrow, and the song includes several direct musical references to 1960s songs, including The Troggs' "Wild Thing". The song was recorded at Belmont Mall in Belmont, Indiana. The recording was produced by Mellencamp (under the alias "Little Bastard") and Don Gehman, engineered by Gehman and Greg Edward; backing Mellencamp on the recording were Kenny Aronoff (drums), Toby Myers (bass), Mike Wanchic (guitars, background vocals), Larry Crane (guitars, flutophone), John Cascella (keyboards), and Sarah Flint (background vocals). Cash Box called it a "no-holds-barred rocker." Billboard said that it "evokes, without quite quoting, reference points from 'La Bamba' to '96 Tears.'" A music video for the single was released in 1986. The video was directed by Mellencamp and Faye Cummings, and it was filmed using a kinescope camera. It featured an African American-vocal group and a Caucasian-instrumental group with the two groups playing together at the end of the video.

The song was written by Brian Elliot with additional lyrics by Madonna, and produced by Stephen Bray and Madonna for her third studio album True Blue, released in June 1986. The song’s musical style combines pop and classical stylings, and its lyrics deal with teenage pregnancy and abortion. It was based on teen gossip he heard outside Elliot’s studio, which has a large front window that doubles as a mirror where schoolgirls from the North Hollywood High School in Los Angeles regularly stopped to fix their hair and chat. Released as the album’s second single in mid-1986, the song was a commercial success.

It portrayed a storyline where Madonna is trying to tell her father about her pregnancy. The images are juxtaposed with shots of Madonna dancing and singing in a small, darkened studio, and spending a romantic evening with her boyfriend. Shortly after its release, the song caused heated discussions about its lyrical content. Women’s organizations and others in the family planning field criticized Madonna for encouraging teenage pregnancy, while groups opposed to abortion saw it as a positive pro-life message. The song also caused her first conflict with the Vatican, as she dedicated it to Pope John Paul II, who urged Italian fans to boycott her concerts during the Who’s That Girl World Tour in 1987.

Colin Hay told Songfacts: “The chorus is really about the selling of Australia in many ways, the over-development of the country. It was a song about the loss of spirit in that country. It’s really about the plundering of the country by greedy people. It is ultimately about celebrating the country, but not in a nationalistic way and not in a flag-waving sense. It’s really more than that. This 12" was released in Australia to promote the band's first Greatest Hits package titled "81-85" which was issued in November 1986.

The song achieved success in many European countries, including Ireland, Italy, UK, Swiss, and in the U.S. it was a top-five hit on the dance charts. Written and produced by Madonna and Stephen Bray, it also cracked both the U.S. dance chart (remix by Shep Pettibone) and the Top 50 in Canada. Madonna had originally written and recorded the song for her "True Blue" album, but it did not make the cut. Her original version remains unreleased officially but has leaked onto the internet. It is almost identical in melody and structure to Kamen's version.

It has been recorded by numerous artists over the years, including notable versions by Chuck Jackson in 1962, Alan Price in 1965, Elvis Presley in 1969, and Ronnie Milsap in 1982. In 1987 Kamen recorded it for his debut album.

These two women deliver a song that is infectiously danceable, yet puts forth a very strong message. The song originally appeared on the compilation album Animal Liberation (1987) and later on Tame Yourself (1991) both to benefit PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals).

Tracklist: 01.Oingo Boingo - Dead Man's Party (Party 'Til You're Dead Mix) (8:36) 02.Oingo Boingo - Stay (Stay Late Mix) (6:00) "Dead Man's Party" is a song by American band Oingo Boingo released as the third single from their fifth studio album Dead Man's Party. The lyric "I hear the chauffeur coming to my door/Says there's room for maybe just one more" is a reference to "The Bus-Conductor", a short story involving a hearse driver by E. F. Benson, published in The Pall Mall Magazine in 1906. The story has been adapted several times and spawned an urban legend, with each version using the catchphrase, "Room for one more." The song is perhaps best known for its appearance in the 1986 film Back to School and its accompanying soundtrack; Oingo Boingo appears in the film performing the song.
Tracklist: 01.Olivia Newton-John - Toughen Up (Dance Remix) (8:04) 02.Olivia Newton-John - Toughen Up (Instrumental Remix) (5:16) “Toughen Up” was the second single taken from the thirteenth studio album “Soul Kiss” by Australian singer Olivia Newton-John on MCA Records. Written by Graham Lyle and Terry Britten (What's Love Got To Do With It) “Toughen Up” had originally been offered to Tina Turner but was rejected. “Toughen Up” failed to make a dent on the U.S. Billboard charts but was quite popular in dance clubs due in part to a 12″ dance remix by John “Jellybean” Benitez. “Toughen Up” did chart in Australia peaking at #69. The song includes a guitar solo by Grammy winning guitarist Lee Ritenour. The music video opens showing a topless Olivia wearing riding pants and holding a riding crop. In the video directed by David Mallet Olivia plays the part of a head mistress for a girls school where she teaches her female students to “Toughen Up” against the men that have done them wrong. Neither track have appeared on CD or digitally.
Tracklist: 01.Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - (Forever) Live And Die (John "Tokes" Potoker - Extended Mix) (5:47) 02.Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - (Forever) Live And Die (7" Version) (3:36) 03.Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - This Town (3:46) This is the first U.K. 12" pressing for the Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark (OMD) single "(Forever) Live and Die". Remixed by American remixer John "Tokes" Potoker. The story behind this remix is that the band was not happy with it so it was withdrawn. Virgin Records had already printed about 5,000 copies crediting John "Tokes" Potoker as the remixer. Some of these copies did make it into record shops. The band later went with the Tom Lord-Alge remix and ir was later released. I posted that mix back in April 2014. The single was a Top 10 hit in Canada and many European territories, and a Top 20 hit in the United States, Australia, New Zealand and Ireland. It was the last of the group’s singles to reach the UK Top 20 before Humphreys left in 1989, and Andy McCluskey continued OMD on his own.

It was the last of the group's singles to reach the UK Top 20 before Humphreys left in 1989, and Andy McCluskey continued OMD on his own. Producer Stephen Hague had made his production debut the previous year on OMD's Crush. He is also known for his work with the Pet Shop Boys, often using a chorus effect on Neil Tennant's voice, as he did with Humphreys on this song. The b-side "This Town" is a non-lp track.

Tracklist: 01.Paul Jabara - Special Intro - Ocho Rios (That 12" Mix) (10:03) 02.Paul Jabara - Ocho Rios (LP Instrumental Mix) (8:49) "Ocho Rios" was the final single released by American actor, singer, and Oscar winning songwriter of Lebanese ancestry, born in Brooklyn, New York, Paul Jabara. The song was taken from the concept musical De La Noche: The True Story – A Poperetta, featuring guest vocals from Leata Galloway, Diva Gray and Pattie Brooks. Though one of 1986's most adventurous and fascinating albums, “De La Noche” got off to a rocky start. The problem stems from the constant references in the song, “Ocho Rios,” to “that Negro from Ocho Rios.” Some blacks consider the word Negro offensive. Dance clubs played the single but radio snubbed it. So did MTV. Too controversial, Jabara was told. Bleeping the word Negro out of the single seemed the obvious answer. But Jabara was against this, insisting it would ruin the song: “If it was blacks talking, they’d say I met a Caucasian in Ocho Rios. That’s funny. If they said ‘I met a white boy in Ocho Rios,’ that’s not funny. The word Negro is funny in ‘Negro From Ocho Rios.’ It’s not a hate word, like all those other names for blacks. What’s all the fuss about?” Actually, there was no fuss. Just the threat of a fuss killed the single before it developed any momentum. Sadly this would become Paul Jabara's last project he died from complications from AIDS in 1992.
Tracklist: 01.Paul Lekakis - Boom Boom (Let's Go Back To My Room) (6:54) 02.Paul Lekakis - Instrumental Room (4:48) "Boom Boom (Let's Go Back to My Room)" is the debut single by American singer and model Paul Lekakis. Released in 1987 on ZYX Records, then picked up by Polydor Records for a wider release, the song peaked at number 43 on the US Billboard Hot 100, number six on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart and number 60 on the UK Singles Chart.

It also peaked at number four in Canada and number seven in New Zealand. In 1990 the song was included on Lekakis' first album, Tattoo It, which was released on Sire Records.

Tracklist: 01.Pet Shop Boys - Love Comes Quickly (Pettibone Mastermix) (7:36) 02.Pet Shop Boys - Love Comes Quickly (Dub Version) (6:56) 03.Pet Shop Boys - Love Comes Quickly (Dance Mix) (6:49) 04.Pet Shop Boys - That's My Impression (Disco Mix) (5:17) "Love Comes Quickly" is a song by UK synthpop duo Pet Shop Boys, released as the third single from their 1986 debut album Please, and the last of its singles to be released before the album itself. Although a Top 20 hit in the UK, and cited as one the band's own favourite songs, its chart performance was disappointing given that it followed the worldwide number one "West End Girls". It peaked at number 19 in the UK in March 1986. The song is about the inevitability of falling in love, even for those who deliberately shun the idea. Producer Stephen Hague receives a co-writing credit for writing the first two chords of the middle section of the song. Andy Mackay of Roxy Music plays the saxophone parts towards the end of the song. As with "Opportunities", the 12" version of the single contains remixes by 1980s producer Shep Pettibone. The remixes of "Love Comes Quickly" and "That's My Impression" reached the top ten on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart in October 1986. Later, in 2003, new remixes by Blank & Jones were produced for the promotion of the singles collection PopArt. The cover, featuring Chris Lowe in a baseball cap emblazoned with "BOY" in block letters, has become an iconic Pet Shop Boys image. Neil Tennant of the duo later recollected that he had expected the image of the cap to be the group's coming out moment, calling it "incredibly gay". Directed by Andy Morahan and Eric Watson, the video to the song is very simple, utilising facial shots of Tennant singing, interposed with blurry montages of the faces of various other people; at points, shots of Lowe, lying on top of a construction of a square grid, are superimposed over these shots. Watson would later call it a "complete disaster".
Tracklist: 01.Pet Shop Boys - Opportunities (Let’s Make Lots Of Money) (Shep Pettibone Mastermix) (7:18) 02.Pet Shop Boys - Opportunities (Let’s Make Lots Of Money) (Reprise) (4:27) 03.Pet Shop Boys - Opportunities (Let’s Make Lots Of Money) (Original Dance Mix) (6:45) 04.Pet Shop Boys - Was That What It Was? (5:14) “Opportunities (Let’s Make Lots of Money)” is a song by UK duo Pet Shop Boys, released as a single in 1985 and then in 1986, gaining greater popularity in both the United Kingdom and United States with its second release, reaching number 11 in the UK Singles Chart and number 10 in the US Billboard Hot 100. The song’s indirect attack on its subject matter has come to exemplify the Pet Shop Boys as ironists in their songwriting. This 12″ is for the 1986 re-release which becam a worldwide hit and features remixes by noted 1980s producer Shep Pettibone. Shep Pettibone did not mix “Was That What It Was?”; he was booked to do so, but missed his plane, and his manager, Jane Brinton, mixed the song in his absence. It is unknown if Shep Pettibone was consulting the manager over the phone. This fact went unnoticed until Pet Shop Boys revealed it in the liner notes for the Alternative anthology of B-sides and rarities (1995), though Jane Brinton gets a “Thanks to” mention on the 12″ cover. After a Super Bowl ad featuring the song, it re-entered the Billboard's Dance/Electronic Digital Song Sales chart at No. 5 on February 20, 2021.
Tracklist: 01.Pet Shop Boys - Paninaro (Italian Remix) (8:36) 02.Pet Shop Boys - Paninaro (Ian Levine Mix) (9:54) Limited Edition Italy-only 12″. 5000 copies exist. “Paninaro” is a song by English synthpop duo Pet Shop Boys. Originally a B-side to the 1986 single “Suburbia”, it was released as a limited-edition single in Italy during the same year. “Paninaro” was produced by the band themselves, and is the first track which features Chris Lowe on lead vocals, although he speaks the lyrics, rather than sings them. While all 7″ and 12″ releases of “Suburbia” contained only the 7″ version of “Paninaro”, the 12″ version was featured on “Disco: The Remix Album”. Another remix by Ian Levine was done, but only appears as the second track from the Italian 12″ single. “Paninaro” was written entirely by Chris Lowe, and was originally based on an idea brought forth by Tom Watkins, who later removed himself from the project. The Paninari is the name of a 1980s Italian youth subculture known as the paninari; derived from the word panino, Italian for sandwich, they were known for congregating in restaurants serving sandwiches and in the first US-style fast food restaurants, as well as their preference for designer clothing and 1980s pop music such as the New Romantic music of Duran Duran. Neil Tennant has said that they were drawn to the concept due to having shared those preferences. The band wanted to remove Versace from the lyrics because Vercase was not really a designer favoured by the Paninari, but it was edited out of every version except the 12″ There was in fact a video shot for ‘Paninaro’, even though it wasn’t a bonafide single. It featured shots taken around Milan and fed through a digital imaging processor to give it a pixelated feel. It was released originally on the “Television” video compilation and again on the “Pop Art” DVD. “Paninaro” was remixed and released a second time in 1995 as “Paninaro 95” in conjunction with the b-sides compilation “Alternative”.
Tracklist: 01.Pet Shop Boys - Suburbia (Club Vocal Mix) (7:06) 02.Pet Shop Boys - Suburbia (Dub Version) (7:58) "Suburbia" is a song by UK synthpop duo Pet Shop Boys. It was remixed and released as the fourth single from the album Please in 1986 and became the band's second UK Top 10 hit, peaking at #8. In the United States Arthur Baker was commissioned to do remixes for the 12" promo with edits by Junior Vasquez. These remixes are exclusive to this release and have never appeared on any official Pet Shop Boys CD.
Tracklist: 01.Pet Shop Boys - Suburbia (The Full Horror) (8:57) 02.Pet Shop Boys - Suburbia (Edited Version) (4:03) 03.Pet Shop Boys - Jack The Lad (4:31) "Suburbia" is a song by UK synthpop duo Pet Shop Boys. It was remixed and released as the fourth single from the album Please in 1986 and became the band's second UK Top 10 hit, peaking at number 8. The song's primary inspiration is the 1984 Penelope Spheeris film Suburbia, and its depiction of violence and squalor in the suburbs of Los Angeles; in addition, the tension of the Brixton riots of 1981 and of 1985 hanging in recent memory led Neil Tennant of the duo to thinking about the boredom of suburbia and the underlying tension among disaffected youth that sparked off the riots at the least provocation. "Suburbia" was partly inspired by the film, 'Suburbia', a New World Production, produced by Roger Corman, directed by Penelope Spheeris.
Tracklist: 01.Pet Shop Boys - West End Girls (Remix '86) (5:02) 02.Pet Shop Boys - Theme For The Pet Shop Boys (Part 1/Remix '86) (5:04) "West End Girls" was the first Pet Shop Boys song released on a label, and is arguably the song most commonly associated with the band. The original version of the song was released in 1984 produced by famed Hi-NRG mogul Bobby Orlando, the single was released on his Bobcat Records label. It was not a huge hit in the Boys' home country, but it did fairly well in the States and in Italy. Under the Bobby O umbrella, 'West End Girls' was remixed and repackaged several times, saturating the world's record stores with multiple formats of this single. In 1986 after the band signed with Parlophone Records the song was remixed, and titled "Remix '86" this was to capitolize off of the re-recorded hit version that had been released in 1985.
Tracklist: 01.Pet Shop Boys - West End Girls (Dance Mix) (6:30) 02.Pet Shop Boys - A Man Could Get Arrested (4:18) 03.Pet Shop Boys - West End Girls (3:57) "West End Girls" is a song by the British pop duo Pet Shop Boys. Written by Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe, the song was released twice as a single. The song is influenced by hip hop music, with lyrics concerned with class and the pressures of inner-city life which were inspired partly by T. S. Eliot's poem The Waste Land. It was generally well received by contemporary music critics and has been frequently cited as a highlight in the duo's career. The first version of the song was produced by Bobby Orlando and was released on Columbia Records' Bobcat Records imprint in April 1984, becoming a club hit in the United States and some European countries. After the duo signed with EMI, the song was re-recorded with producer Stephen Hague for their first studio album, Please. In October 1985, the new version was released, reaching number one in the United Kingdom and the United States in 1986.
Tracklist: 01.Pete Shelley - On Your Own (New York Mix) (5:24) 02.Pete Shelley - On Your Own (New York Dub Mix) (5:34) 03.Pete Shelley - Please Forgive Me.. But I Cannot Endure It Any Longer (Extend Version) (7:42) "On Your Own" is a single released by English singer, songwriter and guitarist Pete Shelley. The song was taken from Shelley's fifth solo album Heaven and the Sea (1986). Unlike many of Pete Shelleys earlier singles "On Your Own" which was produced by American producer Stephen Hague has a more mature polished sound and lacks the nervous pop energy that was a hallmark of those earlier records. "On Your Own" failed to chart in the U.K. but fared much better in the United States where it peaked at #10 on the Billboard Dance chart on August 2, 1986 becoming Pete Shelley's fifth and final charting single in the USA.

It was his second top-ten single on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at #8. "Big Time" alternates mode between A♭ minor (Aeolian) in the chorus and A♭ Dorian during the verses and is played at the speed of 116 bpm. The song’s bass guitar part is unique in that backing bassist Tony Levin and then-backing drummer Jerry Marotta teamed up for the main bassline. Using one of Levin’s fretless basses, Levin handled the fingerings while Marotta hit his drumsticks on the strings, which is why the bass part sounds percussive. Inspired by this sound, Levin later invented Funk Fingers, which were little drumstick ends that could be attached to the fingers to achieve a similar bass guitar effect in concert. Police drummer Stewart Copeland plays drums on the song.
Tracklist: 01.Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer (Extended Dance Remix) (7:20) 02.Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer (Extended Mix) (5:40) 03.Peter Gabriel - Don't Break This Rhythm (3:50) 04.Peter Gabriel - I Have The Touch (85 Remix) (3:44) "Sledgehammer" is a song by British musician Peter Gabriel from his 1986 album So.

The song's music video has won a number of awards, including a record nine MTV Awards at the 1987 MTV Video Music Awards, and Best British Video at the 1987 Brit Awards. Gabriel was also nominated for three Grammy Awards: Best Male Rock Vocal Performance, Song of the Year, and Record of the Year.

Tracklist: 01.Queen - A Kind Of Magic (Extended Version) (6:25) 02.Queen - A Dozen Red Roses For My Darling (5:03) "A Kind of Magic" is the title track of the 1986 album of the same name by the British rock band Queen. It was written by the band's drummer, Roger Taylor, for the film Highlander. The single reached number three in the UK Singles Chart, top ten in a number of European countries, and #42 on the US Billboard Hot 100. The song is the opening track on the band's compilation albums, Greatest Hits II, and Classic Queen. The phrase "a kind of magic" is used in Highlander by Connor MacLeod (Christopher Lambert) as a description of his immortality. Roger Taylor liked the phrase so much that he used it as inspiration for the song. There are references to the film in the lyrics: "one prize, one goal"; "no mortal man"; and "there can be only one". The single's cover art features an image of Clancy Brown in character as the film's villain, The Kurgan. Taylor wrote the melody and chords for the version that appeared in the film, which Brian May described as "quite lugubrious and heavy". Freddie Mercury composed a new bass line, added instrumental breaks, and changed the song's order to make it more chart friendly. Mercury and David Richards produced this new version. The song was still credited only to Taylor. Whilst Taylor's version is at the end of the film, Mercury's version appears on the album. Taylor's version of A Kind of Magic did not see official release until it was included on the extra EP for the 2011 special edition of the album. The b-side track is an instrumental version of Don't Lose Your Head.

The song was taken from their debut LP The Circle & the Square. During this period the group found themselves at odds with their record company regarding what it perceived as a lack of mainstream appeal in their choice of material, despite the success of of their previous single "Lean on Me" in the UK and Europe. Toulson-Clarke responded to WEA's request for something to appeal to American radio with the sardonic "For America", which lambasted what he saw as the style-over-content approach of the American media, as well as alluding to American military involvement in Grenada and Nicaragua. The song was not a hit in the United States, though it did worldwide outsell "Lean on Me", reaching number one in six countries and the top ten in several others including the UK, where it spent twelve weeks in the chart peaking at number ten.

The single also crossed over to the pop singles chart, where it peaked at #10 and also made the Top 30 on the Soul Singles chart. “Baby Love” would be her only single to chart on both the Pop and Soul Singles chart. The song was written by Regina with Steve Bray, who had written several hits for Madonna. It was intended for Madonna, with Regina deciding to record the song herself when Madonna declined. With Bray’s production, it sounded similar to Madonna’s own recordings and was sometimes mistaken for one. The song also includes backing vocals by R&B singer Sediah Garrett and Saxophone by David Sanborn . The first released version of the song was by Dutch girl group The Star Sisters, who released it on their 1985 album Danger.

It was Ocasek's only U.S. top 40 hit as a solo artist. In Australia the song peaked at #8 on the Kent Music Report. Ocasek was a founding member, lead singer and principal songwriter of the new wave rock band The Cars. Following the group's 1985 Greatest Hits release, its members split up to pursue solo projects. Lead guitarist Elliot Easton released a solo album in 1985, and both Ocasek and singer/bassist Benjamin Orr did the same in 1986. Just as "Emotion in Motion" was Ocasek's only solo song to reach the Top 40, Orr's "Stay the Night" was the latter's only solo Top 40 hit. The band reunited to record 1987's Door to Door, which produced "You Are the Girl", the group's last Top 40 single.

Additionally, the song went to #1 on the American dance chart for one week in February 1987. Internationally, the song reached #3 on the United Kingdom charts. The song went to #1 almost exactly 20 years after Frank Sinatra's song "That's Life" (which is the English translation of the song title) did the same.

Tracklist: 01.Robin Stanley - Get Ready (Club Mix) (6:28) 02.Robin Stanley - Get Ready (Yahney's Dub) (5:10) 03.Robin Stanley - Get Ready (Instrumental) (6:29) Despite the “Death Of Disco” at the end of the 1970s, the desire for a different type of dance music was being demanded by the gay clubs in the U.S., and U.K.. Hi-NRG dance music filled that need and became all the rage in the mid to late 1980s. One of those records that I remember dancing to at an after hours club called The Wreck Room in Oklahoma City was"Get Ready" by Robin Stanley a cover of a Motown song written by Smokey Robinson, which resulted in two hit records for the label: a U.S. No. 29 version by The Temptations in 1966, and a U.S. No. 4 version by Rare Earth in 1970. Robin Stanley's 1986 version is a 138 BPM floor filling Hi-NRG dance track released on the legendary Oak Lawn Records label based in Dallas Texas. "Get Ready" was the only single Robin Stanley ever released there is not much information about her or the recording available.

Tracklist: 01.Run-DMC - Walk This Way (5:09) 02.Run-DMC - Walk This Way (Instrumental) (3:36) 03.Run-DMC - My Adidas (2:48) "Walk This Way" is a song originally recorded by the American rock band Aerosmith. Written by Steven Tyler and Joe Perry, the song was originally released as the second single from the album Toys in the Attic (1975) from their LP Toys in the Attic. In 1986, the hip hop group Run-DMC covered "Walk This Way", in collaboration with Aerosmith (with its leaders Steven Tyler and Joe Perry on vocals and guitars, respectively). While working on Raising Hell, Rick Rubin pulled out Toys in the Attic. At shows, Run-DMC had freestyled over the first few seconds of the song on a loop, not knowing what the full song sounded like, or even hearing the lyrics. While Joseph Simmons and Darryl McDaniels had no idea who Aerosmith were at that time, Rubin suggested remaking the song. Neither Simmons nor McDaniels liked the idea, though Jam Master Jay was open to it. They didn't want the record to be released as a single even after recording with Tyler and Perry, and were shocked when it was played on both urban and rock radio stations. "I never even thought 'Walk This Way' would be a single," Rubin recalled. "Not that I didn't like it, but I didn't think in those terms." DMC called it "a beautiful thing" in a trailer for Guitar Hero (This later appeared in a scene from the 2011 film The Smurfs). This version of "Walk This Way" charted higher on the Billboard Hot 100 than the original, peaking at number 4. It was also one of the first big hip hop singles in the UK, peaking at number 8. The song marked a major comeback for Aerosmith, as they had been largely out of mainstream pop culture for several years while Tyler battled addiction and Perry and Brad Whitford were out of the band. Their 1985 comeback album, Done with Mirrors, had also not met commercial expectations. Aerosmith followed "Walk This Way" with multi-platinum albums and Top 40 hits, starting with Permanent Vacation and its hit "Dude (Looks Like a Lady)" in 1987. In 2008, "Walk This Way" was ranked number 4 on VH1's "100 Greatest Songs of Hip Hop". This version of the song is currently ranked as the 148th greatest song of all time, as well as the second best song of 1986, by Acclaimed Music. The chorus of Run-DMC's cover contains a pitch alternation that Aerosmith adopted in most future live performances. In collaborations, the other singer often says "talk this way" every alternate line of the chorus. This rap-style delivery may explain why the song worked so well as a hip hop song when it was covered eleven years later.

It begins with a sample from Stanley Kubrick's 1971 film A Clockwork Orange where Malcolm McDowell's character Alex, professes his fondness for a bit "of the old ultra-violence".

After the release of the album Playback (1983) with the band SSQ, Stacey Q began working with Jon St. James on her solo material. St. James brought her the song "Two of Hearts," suggesting that she record it. "Two of Hearts" was a tune St. James initially produced for Sue Gatlin, who co-wrote the song with John Mitchell and Tim Greene, recording her own version.

Stacey Q's first recording of the tune was released by On The Spot Records in 1985 and featured on her self-titled debut EP from the same year.

World AIDS Day was the first ever global health day, held for the first time in 1988. I thought it fitting to feature one of the many artists who were taken from us in the 1980's by this horrible disease. "Someone Like You" is a 1986 dance single by Sylvester. The song was written by Len Barry and McKinley Horton. It was produced by Ken Kessie and Morey Goldstein. The single was Sylvester's second and last entry to reach number one on the dance charts, where it stayed for one week. "Someone like You", also went to number nineteen on the soul chart, and was Sylvester's highest chart entry, since 1978. An activist who campaigned against the spread of HIV/AIDS, Sylvester died from complications arising from the virus in 1988, leaving all future royalties from his work to San Francisco-based HIV/AIDS charities. The single sleeve was designed by artist Keith Harring who was an American artist and social activist whose work responded to the New York City street culture of the 1980s by expressing concepts of birth, death, sexuality, and war. Haring's work was often heavily political and his imagery has become a widely recognized visual language of the 20th century. The theme of AIDS permeates Haring's late work, most likely because it had a heavy influence on his personal life. Midway through Haring's journals there is mention of the disease claiming his friends' lives, and later passages show Haring worrying increasingly about his own HIV status. Haring died on February 16, 1990 of AIDS-related complications.

—Roland Orzabal, on why the song was re-recorded The new song was meant to be included on the 2006 remaster of Songs from the Big Chair, but was mistakenly replaced by a repetition of the album version (incorrectly labeled as the '7" version' (such a version does not exist)); the album's liner notes confirm this.

In the early '80s, Palmer worked as an assistant engineer at Utopia Studios in London, England, helping musicians like Mark Knopfler and Dead Or Alive. In the latter half of the '80s, Palmer became a producer, and his keen ears and technical knowledge contributed to edgy post-punk groups such as The Mighty Lemon Drops, The Mission, Gene Loves Jezebel, and House Of Love acquiring airplay on U.S. modern rock stations; Palmer gaves the band a radio-friendly sheen that didn't mollify their sound. In 1989, Palmer produced David Bowie's debut LP with Tin Machine. The Big Supreme is one of those great obscure 80s offerings that really make you crave more of them sadly they never released a full-length LP, and disappeared just as fast as they began.

Tracklist: 01.The Human League - I Need Your Loving (Extended Version) (7:18) 02.The Human League - I Need Your Loving (Acapella Version) (3:46) 03.The Human League - I Need Your Loving (Dub Version) (6:43) 04.The Human League - I Need Your Loving (Instrumental Version) (3:46) "I Need Your Loving" is a song by English synth-pop band the Human League, released as the second single from their fifth studio album, Crash (1986). The song was written by Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, David Eiland, Langston Richey, Danny Williams and Herman Davis (a.k.a. Randy Ran). As were many other tracks from the album, "I Need Your Loving" was aimed towards the US market, where the first single from Crash, "Human", had reached number one. The single was recorded at the Flyte Time studios Minneapolis under the production of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis while the Human League had been in residence from February until April 1986. In the UK it was promoted with a cheaply and badly filmed music video and it became the band's worst showing in the UK charts ever, only reaching number 72. The song was savaged by critics at the time and has now been largely disowned by the band since. In the United States the song reached number 44 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart on January 24, 1987 after spending eleven weeks on the survey. "I Need Your Loving" also peaked at number 52 on the Billboard R&B chart.
Tracklist: 01.The Lover Speaks - Every Lover's Sign (New Extended Mix) (5:53) 02.The Lover Speaks - Every Lover's Sign (Dub Mix) (6:37) "Every Lover's Sign" is a song by the British duo The Lover Speaks, released in 1986 as the third single from their self-titled debut album. It was written by David Freeman and Joseph Hughes, and produced by Jimmy Iovine and The Lover Speaks. In October 1986, "Every Lover's Sign" was released as the bands third single (and second in America). For its release as a single, Bruce Forest and Andy Wallace were hired to remix the song. Together, at Sigma Sound Studios in New York, they created a 7" remix, along with an extended version (known as "New Extended Mix" or "New York Mix") and a "Dub Mix", both designed for club play. The "Dub Mix" was edited by The Latin Rascals (Albert Cabrera and Tony Moran) and additional keyboards provided by David Coles. Although it failed to chart in the UK, the song became a club hit in America, reaching No. 6 on the Billboard Dance Club Songs Chart on December 13, 1986 and remaining on the chart for nine weeks. Attempts to capitalise on the club success of the song, A&M tried to generate airplay to break the song onto the Billboard Hot 100, but they were unsuccessful. It was the duo's only chart entry in the States.
Tracklist: 01.The Mission - Garden Of Delight (3:26) 02.The Mission - Like A Hurricane (4:56) Released as a double A side "Garden Of Delight"/"Like A Hurricane".

"Like A Hurricane" is a cover of a 1977 Neil Young song and was later included on the compilation album First Chapter (a compilation of their first singles) and Ever After - Live. This edit of "Garden Of Delight" can only be found on this single & the limited edition UK 12".

Tracklist: 01.The Police - Don't Stand So Close To Me '86 (Dance Mix) (6:24) 02.The Police - Don't Stand So Close To Me '86 (4:51) 03.The Police - Don't Stand So Close To Me (Original Version) (4:00) 04.The Police - Don't Stand So Close To Me (Live) (4:02) "Don't Stand So Close to Me" is a 1980 song and hit single by the British rock band The Police. It concerns a schoolgirl's crush on her young teacher which leads to an affair, which in turn is discovered. The Police won the 1982 Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal for this song. In 1986, a re-recorded version of the song was released as "Don't Stand So Close to Me '86". The song was re-recorded in 1986 with a new, brooding arrangement, a different chorus and a more opulent production. The new version appeared as "Don't Stand So Close to Me '86" on the album Every Breath You Take: The Singles, and was released as a single, reaching number 24 in the British charts. It also reached number 11 in Ireland, number 14 in New Zealand, number 19 on the Netherlands MegaCharts Singles Chart (number 20 on Dutch Top 40), number 27 in Canada and number 46 on Billboard Hot 100 (number 10 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks). Because of the decrease in tempo, a slight lyric change is found in the line "Just like the old man in that book by Nabokov" (the word 'famous' was added). A new music video was produced for the reworked song by Godley and Creme, notable for its early use of animated computer graphics. Because drummer Stewart Copeland had broken his collarbone and was unable to drum, he opted to use his Fairlight CMI to program the drum track for the single. While singer/bassist Sting pushed to utilize the drums on his Synclavier instead, the group's engineer found the Synclavier's programming interface difficult—and it ended up taking him two days to complete the task. Copeland ultimately finished the drum programming and claimed that the Fairlight's then-legendary "Page R" (the device's sequencing page) saved his life and put him on the map as a composer. In a Qantas inflight radio program named "Reeling in the Years", Copeland was quoted as saying that the argument over Synclavier versus Fairlight drums was "the straw that broke the camel's back," and that this led to the group's unraveling. As the Police had already disbanded by the time the 1986 single was released, this, aside from the then-unreleased "De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da '86," was the last recording before the band's reunion and the most recent studio recording the band has released.

The song inspired the 1986 film of the same name and a re-recorded version of the song was included on the film’s soundtrack. The original version of “Pretty in Pink” peaked at number 43 on the UK Singles Chart in July 1981. Allmusic writer Bill Janovitz credits producer Steve Lillywhite for finding “the ideal sound for the band, with a perfect blend of classic pop, punk, and art rock elements”. Janovitz called it “the definitive take” of the song. The 1986 version reached number 18 in the UK and number 41 on the United States Billboard Hot 100 chart. Janovitz described this version as “ho-hum, streamlined, (and) radio-ready”.
Tracklist: 01.The Rolling Stones - Harlem Shuffle (NY Mix) (6:35) 02.The Rolling Stones - Harlem Shuffle (London Mix) (6:19) 16Bit "Harlem Shuffle" is an R&B song written and originally recorded by the duo Bob & Earl in 1963. In 1986 it was covered by The Rolling Stones on their album Dirty Work. The Rolling Stones' cover version, with Bobby Womack on backing vocals, appeared on their 1986 album Dirty Work, and went to #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and #13 in the UK. Keith Richards had been looking for songs to possibly include on the album and had been working up songs with Ronnie Wood and Womack while waiting for Jagger to return to the studio in Paris after doing promo work on his solo album. To Richards' surprise, Jagger liked the feel and cut the vocals quickly. It became the first cover song the Stones had released as an opening single off a new studio album since 1965.
Tracklist: 01.The Rolling Stones - One Hit (To The Body) (London Mix) (7:02) 02.The Rolling Stones - One Hit (To The Body) (Edit) (4:08) 03.The Rolling Stones - Fight (3:10) In memory of drummer Charlie Watts 1941-2021. Watts had been a member of the Stones since January 1963, when he joined Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Brian Jones in their fledgling group. Watts helped them become, with The Beatles, one of the bands who took rock 'n' roll to the masses in the 60s with classics like (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction, Jumpin' Jack Flash, Get Off My Cloud and Sympathy for the Devil. He will be deeply missed. "One Hit (To the Body)" is the opening track to English rock band The Rolling Stones' 1986 album Dirty Work. The first Rolling Stones single to feature a Ron Wood co-writing credit with Jagger and Richards, it charted in the USA, Netherlands and Australia. Reaching number 80 in the UK, it was their poorest charting single at the time. Credited to lead singer Mick Jagger, guitarist Keith Richards and guitarist Ron Wood, "One Hit (To the Body)" was largely the work of Richards and Wood. Both guitarists contributed heavily to Dirty Work overall, with Wood receiving credit alongside Jagger and Richards on another three songs. A sign of Wood's heavy contribution is the song's distinctive opening of an acoustic piece. Wood used Richards' own 1967 Martin D-18 to perform the jam in an attempt to come up with a proper electric riff, but the acoustic version remained. The band is known for their use of acoustic guitars to "shadow" their electric guitars; "Brown Sugar" is a prime example. Both Richards and Wood played electric, but the solo was provided by Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page. Page's contribution was the result of a short studio session between him and Wood after Page's request to hear what the band was working on. Drummer Charlie Watts provides the song's driving beat as well as its notable cymbal opening, while Bill Wyman plays bass. Backing vocals on the song were provided by Richards, Wood, Bobby Womack, Patti Scialfa, Don Covay, and producer Steve Lillywhite's wife Kirsty MacColl. Recording and re-recording lasted throughout much of 1985. Two locations used were the Pathé Marconi Studios in Paris and New York City's RPM Studios. "One Hit (To the Body)" was released as Dirty Work's second single on 16 May in the United Kingdom and 9 May in the United States with album track "Fight" as its B-side. The single reached the top 30 in the US. Dirty Work has long been known as the album produced at the height of Jagger and Richards' feud during the 1980s.

Making Of… "Octomnipent Zeitgeist" Medley's To create the medley, Glenn Cattanach worked with two other DJ's - Greg Lee and Jeff McKeehan. Glenn owned all the equipment, and Greg and Jeff were local club DJ's in Lexington, Kentucky. The three of them had previously made two other medleys together - the "1984 Top 40 Medley" and the "Best of Hot Tracks 1984." Both medleys appeared on Hot Tracks during 1985, which was the 4th year for Hot Tracks. Glenn, Greg & Jeff came up for the idea of a BIG two-part medley for 1985 and started work on it in October of 1985. Greg was really the mastermind behind the medley, being the one with most of the ideas, but the medley was a group effort. Greg reviewed dance charts and came up with the list of songs to include. They named the two-part medley "Octomnipent Zeitgeist" which loosely meant "THE Spirit of '85." These guys wisely kept logs on the entire project, noting the settings for the turntable speed, mix board levels, equalizer settings, tape speed, etc. This enabled them to later re-edit any part that needed perfecting. All the work was done with two turntables, a ¼" track 15 IPS reel to reel recorder, a cassette deck with dbx noise reduction and a variable speed 7½ IPS reel to reel recorder. Digital recording was uncommon in 1985 and no samplers or effects (delay, reverb, echo, and no CD players!) and no multi-track tape recorders were used. The key to the entire medley was what was called the Kentucky Multi-Track method (named that because they were living in Lexington, Kentucky at that time). They would record 8 to 16 beats of a percussion piece to use "under" the song being edited. They looped those beats by splicing a length of edited tape together, sometimes several meters long, and playing it repeatedly while recording that rhythm track to a cassette deck (with dbx noise reduction) for 3 minutes. They would then play that cassette back, mixing in the record/song they were adding to the medley with the rhythm track. To transition to another song, they would use the same rhythm track under the next song to make it sound similar to the previous song. Frequently, several rhythm tracks were sampled, layered and cross-faded. This method was often subtle and always effective. This way the songs did NOT sound like a bunch of turntable mixes that were simply chopped up and edited back together. They used more than 70 or 80 different "loops" or rhythm tracks for the entire medley. Final preparations for "Octomnipent Zeitgeist" included breaking the 35 minute medley into two parts, adding mix breaks between the two parts, and adding a Wizard of Oz theme (since they were calling the separate parts OZ-I and OZ-II). The medley ends with a trickling ultra-high-speed voice-over describing the origin of OZ. Hot Tracks published the medley in January and February 1986 as Series 5, Issues 1 and 2. The mix took 600 man-hours and over three months to complete. It was a labor of love for these guys. They figured out what they had spent on tape (remember, back then everything was on ¼" tape, no hard drive recording) and the vinyl records, they each made only about $40 US. They didn't care.

Tracklist: 01.Wham! - The Edge Of Heaven (4:31) 02.Wham! - Where Did Your Heart Go? (5:41) 03.Wham! - Battlestations (Extended Edit) (6:36) "The Edge of Heaven" is a song by English pop duo Wham!, released on Epic Records in 1986. It was written and produced by George Michael, one half of the duo, and was promoted in advance as Wham!'s farewell single. With the known desire of George Michael to move into a more adult market, Wham! had announced in the spring of 1986 that Michael and his musical partner Andrew Ridgeley would go their separate ways after a farewell single, album and concert. The album was called The Final and the concert was held in front of 72,000 fans at London's Wembley Stadium on Saturday 28 June 1986. Prior to the official release date of the single, the song had been performed during their 1985 "Whamamerica!" tour. The single, a five-minute tale of emotional and physical frustration within a relationship, was a slick and upbeat — albeit harder-edged than earlier works — pop tune which became the fourth and final No. 1 in the UK Singles Chart (and the final US Top Ten hit, reaching #10) for the duo. Elton John, a friend of Michael and Ridgeley, played piano on the track. Michael has said the lyrics to the song were "deliberately and overtly sexual, especially the first verse". The reason for this, he says, was he thought no one would care "because no one listens to a Wham! lyric. It had got to that stage." Epic released a double record set in the UK, with an updated version of Wham!'s early signature song "Wham Rap! (Enjoy What You Do)" on the flip of disc one, and two new songs - "Battlestations" and a cover of the Was (Not Was) song "Where Did Your Heart Go?"—on the flip of the second disc. "Where Did Your Heart Go?" was later given an equal billing and reached a lowly position in the UK Top 40 as a result. In the United States, "The Edge of Heaven" was backed with a live version of "Blue" from Wham!'s tour of China. "Where Did Your Heart Go?" was released separately as the follow-up and the fourth and last single from Music from the Edge of Heaven (the shortened American version of The Final), and charted at #50 (backed with "Wham! Rap '86"). **As a special bonus track I have added the mega rare "Extended Edit" of "Battlestations" which should have been released as a single in my opinion. The track is remixed and edited by Steven Bourasa for the Hot Tracks remix service.
Tracklist: 01.Wham! - Where Did Your Heart Go? (Edit Version) (5:00) 02.Wham! - Wham! Rap '86 (6:33) "Where Did Your Heart Go?" is a song written by American musicians David Was and Don Was. The song was first recorded and released by the writers' disco-dance-rock ensemble Was (Not Was). "Where Did Your Heart Go?" was covered by the British pop duo Wham! in June 1986 as one of the three B-sides to "The Edge of Heaven" in the UK, where it reached #1. The song was also released separately as Wham!'s final single in several territories most notably in the US where it peaked at #50 on the Billboard Hot 100 in November 1986. It was produced and re-arranged by George Michael with engineering by Chris Porter. In common with most Wham! songs, Andrew Ridgeley's contribution is notable by its absence, though he receives a co-writing credit for its b-side: "Wham Rap '86". "Where Did Your Heart Go?" was also included on the albums Music from the Edge of Heaven and The Final. The single version of "Where Did Your Heart Go?" is an edit of the album version which fades out about fourty seconds early.

"Nevermore" was the groups 1985 breakthrough single , produced by Harpo who had a #1 Swedish single in 1975 titled "Moviestar" a song which featured backing vocals by Anni-Frid Lyngstad (Frida) from ABBA. "Nevermore" was released as a 12" in 1987 in the U.S. recieving heavy club play peaking at #35 on the Billboard Dance Chart. The song was also a favorite of Richard Blade who played it often on the legendary U.S. radio station KROQ in Los Angeles. The group released three singles and one album titled "Young Europeans" before falling into 80s obscurity.
Tracklist: 01.ABC - When Smokey Sings (Miami Mix) (7:03) 02.ABC - Chicago (Parts I & II) (6:37) 03.ABC - When Smokey Sings (7" Version) (4:23) 04.ABC - When Smokey Sings (Bonus Beats) (4:39) 05.ABC - When Smokey Sings (Detroit Mix) (6:45) "When Smokey Sings" is a song by English band ABC, released as the first single from their fourth studio album, Alphabet City (1987). The lyrics and title of the song are a tribute to R&B and soul singer Smokey Robinson. In the United States, Robinson himself was on the Billboard 100 pop chart with his single "One Heartbeat" at the same time as this tribute song; for the week ending 3 October 1987, both songs were in the Billboard Top 10 simultaneously. "When Smokey Sings" and its B-side, "Chicago" also topped the Hot Dance Club Play chart. The song reached No. 11 on the UK Singles Chart and proved to be their second American Top 10 hit, peaking at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100. There is a slight difference in the lyrics between the album and single version in the bridge of the song. In the album version, references are made to "Luther", "Sly", "James", and "Marvin" (most likely referring to Luther Vandross, Sly Stone, James Brown, and Marvin Gaye, respectively). In the single version, this is replaced by alternate lyrics, followed by a short saxophone solo. Pitchfork Media were favourable for the Miami Mix, saying "can you fuck with...the proto–freestyle of the "Miami mix" of ABC's "When Smokey Sings"?...No, of course you cannot." The bass line of the song is a homage to Robinson's composition, "The Tears of a Clown." Smokey Robinson himself praised the song, saying, "Well, of course, that’s a form of flattery, and I really appreciate it."

Tracklist: 01.Aerosmith - Dude (Looks Like A Lady) (Urban Dude Mix) (6:45) 02.Aerosmith - Dude (Looks Like A Lady) (Dude This Way) (A Cappella) (4:16) 03.Aerosmith - Dude (Looks Like A Lady) (Extended Rockin' Dude Mix) (5:46) 04.Aerosmith - Dude (Looks Like A Lady) (Rockin' Dude Edit) (3:51) "Dude (Looks Like a Lady)" is a song by American rock band Aerosmith. It was released as the lead single from the band's ninth studio album Permanent Vacation in 1987. The track reached number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100, number 41 on the Hot Dance Club Play chart, number four on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, number 22 on the Canadian RPM Top Singles chart and number 45 on the UK Singles Chart. It was re-released in early 1990 and peaked at number 20 in the UK. It was certified gold in the UK for sales and streams exceeding over 400,000 units. The song was written by lead singer Steven Tyler, lead guitarist Joe Perry and songwriter Desmond Child. The song talks about a man who is mistaken for a woman. According to Desmond Child, Steven Tyler came up with the idea after mistaking Mötley Crüe singer Vince Neil for a woman with long blonde hair. Tyler's bandmates made fun of him, joking about how the "dude looked like a lady". In his book The Heroin Diaries, Mötley Crüe's Nikki Sixx concurs that the song was inspired by Neil. Despite the song's mainstream success, "Dude (Looks Like a Lady)" has been accused of being transphobic, with "its lyrics and music video’s offensive insinuations about trans women." In 2012, Desmond Child said, "I talked Aerosmith into the whole scenario of a guy that walks into a strip joint and falls in love with the stripper on stage, goes backstage and finds out it's a guy." In 2019, Child confirmed that the song was about a man who "just walks into a bar and sees this gorgeous blonde up on the stage and then goes backstage after the show and then she 'whips out a gun, tries to blow me away.'" Vox's Abbey White pointed out that "the song also plays on the idea that trans women intentionally deceive men or are 'in disguise', that they are unattractive or repulsive ... and at one point mixes pronouns, going from 'Oh she like it' in one line to 'Oh, he was a lady,' in the next." Child has refuted all allegations of transphobia, describing the song as "accepting" because of the lyric, "Never judge a book by its cover, or who you're going to love by your lover." On August 27, 2013, Fox News played this song while introducing Chelsea Manning. As well as the network's use of masculine pronouns and Manning's deadname, playing this song received backlash from commentators. After Caitlyn Jenner called "Dude (Looks Like a Lady)" her "theme song" in 2017, backlash ensued from fans and from LGBT activists due to the perceived transphobia. The video for "Dude (Looks Like a Lady)" features the band performing live onstage as well as random moments of characters portraying drag queens, including a cameo appearance by A&R man John Kalodner dressed up in a wedding dress at one point. This is a joke based on the fact that Kalodner always dresses in white. Joe Perry's wife Billie also appears in the music video, pretending to play the saxophone on stage. There are also some provocative sexual performances, both led by singer Steven Tyler as well as a presumed female who has her skirt torn off to reveal the Aerosmith "wings" tattoo on her buttocks. The video was directed by Marty Callner. "Dude" picked up two MTV Video Music Award nominations in 1988 (the first for the band). It was nominated for Best Group Video and Best Stage Performance, but failed to gain the wins. The band made up for it eventually, winning over 10 "moon-men" and 4 Grammys in the 1990s.
Tracklist: 01.Age Of Chance - Kiss (Vocal) (3:06) 02.Age Of Chance - Kiss (Collision Cut) (4:11) 03.Age Of Chance - Crash Conscious (2:56) "Kiss" is a 1986 single originally recorded by Prince and The Revolution. An industrial cover of the song was released in November 1986 by British alternative rock-dance crossover band Age of Chance. Bass player Geoff Taylor described it as: "We basically removed the sex and replaced it with lump hammers." The single reached No. 1 on the UK Indie Charts in late 1986. It spent 11 weeks on the mainstream pop charts in the United Kingdom, starting at 6 December 1986 and peaking at No. 50 in early 1987. In New Zealand it charted for four weeks, peaking at No. 21. In the United States, it spent six weeks on the Billboard Dance Club Play chart, peaking at No. 35 on 23 May 1987.
Tracklist: 01.a-ha - The Living Daylights (Extended Version) (6:51) 02.a-ha - The Living Daylights (7 Inch Version) (4:16) 03.a-ha - The Living Daylights (Instrumental) (4:43) "The Living Daylights" is a song performed by Norwegian pop group A-ha for the 1987 James Bond film of the same name. It was written by guitarist Pål Waaktaar. After first appearing in the context of the film, a revised version was included in the band's Stay on These Roads studio album, which came out in 1988. John Barry was listed on the credits as co-writer and producer, and the initial release of the song was his version. A second version of the song, re-worked by A-ha in 1988, later appeared on their third album, Stay on These Roads. When interviewed on a late-night show in 1987, Barry said that he found working with the band exhausting secondary to the band's insistence on using their own version of the song for release. In an interview with Hot Rod Magazine, keyboardist Magne Furuholmen said that "[the band's] fight with Barry left a rather unpleasant aftertaste. Apparently, he compared us to Hitlerjugend in a newspaper interview." Waaktaar stated that although Barry produced the track, he never contributed to the songwriting process and should not have been credited as such (the band Duran Duran made similar claims after they worked briefly with Barry on the theme to the previous Bond film, "A View to a Kill", in 1985). However, Waaktaar has also said: "I loved the stuff he [John Barry] added to the track. I mean, it gave it this sort of really cool string arrangement. That's when it, for me, started to sound like a Bond thing." "The Living Daylights" was released in the summer of 1987. The song peaked at number five in the United Kingdom and number one in Norway. In the United States the single failed to chart. The song remains one of A-ha's most played songs in live concerts and has often been extended into a "sing-along" with the audience, as featured on the live album How Can I Sleep with Your Voice in My Head. In live performances, Paul Waaktaar often included the main James Bond Theme in his guitar solo.
Tracklist: 01.Alan Rankine - The Sandman (Remix) (7:06) 02.Alan Rankine - Can You Believe Everything I See (Part 3) (6:19) 03.Alan Rankine - The Sandman (7" Version) (3:44) "The Sandman" is the debut solo single by Scottish musician and record producer Alan Rankine best known as keyboardist/guitarist for the new wave band Associates, which he co-founded with Billy Mackenzie in the late 1970s. "The Sandman" was taken from Rankine's second studio album "She Loves Me Not". A very underrated track "The Sandman" failed to chart and ends up as one of my recommended 12" singles.
Tracklist: 01.Alexander O'Neal Featuring Cherrelle - Never Knew Love Like This (Extended Version) (5:41) 02.Alexander O'Neal Featuring Cherrelle - Never Knew Love Like This (A Cappella) (3:28) 03.Alexander O'Neal Featuring Cherrelle - Never Knew Love Like This (Instrumental/Reprise) (9:03) "Never Knew Love Like This" is a top ten US R&B hit, and a top ten UK hit song duetted by American R&B singers Cherrelle and Alexander O'Neal; released in 1988. The song peaked at #2 in the US R&B chart, #26 in the UK and #28 in the Billboard Hot 100. It was the second time Alexander O'Neal and Cherrelle sang together. They sang "Saturday Love" together in 1985 on Cherrelle's gold album High Priority. "Never Knew Love Like This" is featured on Alexander O'Neal's 3× platinum album Hearsay which was released in 1987. The music video was filmed in London. Side B "Instrumental" and "Reprise" are listed as seperate tracks but are actually one continuous track.
Tracklist: 01.Alison Moyet - Weak In The Presence Of Beauty (Extended Remix) (6:07) 02.Alison Moyet - Weak In The Presence Of Beauty (Single Version) (3:40) 03.Alison Moyet - To Work On You (4:16) "Weak in the Presence of Beauty" is a song written by Michael Ward and Rob Clarke which was first released by their band, the British soul and jazz-influenced pop group Floy Joy, in 1986. The song was later covered by singer Alison Moyet in 1987 and became a hit for her. Over the last decade, Moyet has revealed that the song was only recorded as she knew it would be a hit single, and that she is not actually fond of the song at all. To promote her 2004 album Voice, Moyet appeared on This Morning. On the show the introductory clip used was a snippet of the song's music video. Immediately after Phillip Schofield commented "You just said you hate that song? Why'd you hate that song?" Moyet stated "Oh, because I know how cynical I was being when I recorded it. I recorded it 'cause I knew it was a hit rather than the fact that I loved it, and that will teach me, you know? You have a massive hit with something you're not particularly fond of, and it's not a good feeling." Schofield added "Of course it's gonna haunt you forever then." Moyet stated "Oh yeah it does, you know?" In an interview by Ian Wade for The Quietus in May 2013, Wade had commented "You seem much happier that you have fuller control over everything." Moyet mentioned the song in her response, where she stated "What I must say is that it's sometimes very easy to sit there and rescind responsibility, but sometimes I couldn't be arsed. That's the truth of it. We can all make the right choices, but sometimes we're just too lazy to. And sometimes I was just too lazy to do it myself. "Love Letters" and "Weak in the Presence of Beauty" – neither song I enjoy now – they're both my fault. I found them. That was when I was feeling smart, thinking that I knew what a hit was - I don't know what's a fucking hit! But they were hits, and now I'm forever to fucking sing them years later!" In a June 2013 interview by Chi Ming Lai for The Electricity Club, Moyet spoke of the song and her reason for recording the track. Lai asked "Was that the same circumstances when you released "Love Letters" after the success of "Raindancing"?" Moyet replied "Love Letters" was me shooting myself in the foot! That was me being a show-off! That was me showing I had an A&R thing... "oh, I know what a hit is"! I did that twice, I did it with that and with "Weak in the Presence of Beauty"! Two times that I recorded songs knowing they were hits as opposed to the fact I loved them! I say that honestly, that's the only time I've ever recorded anything cynically!" "Weak In The Presence Of Beauty" failed to chart in the US but was a top ten hit in the UK peaking at #6. The song also charted in several other countries, Ireland #4, New Zealand #7, Norway #4 and #9 in France.

Tracklist: 01.Aretha Franklin & George Michael - I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me) (4:00) 02.Aretha Franklin & George Michael - I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me) (Instrumental) (4:00) "I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)" is a Grammy Award-winning #1 song performed by Aretha Franklin and George Michael as a duet in 1987. It was written by Simon Climie and Dennis Morgan. It also stands as Aretha's biggest hit at Adult Contemporary radio, spending several weeks at #2. Despite selling more than a million US copies, the single was never certified. The song was not originally written as a duet. Climie and Morgan pitched the song to Tina Turner as well to Aretha Franklin and Arista Records head Clive Davis. It was Davis' idea to get Franklin and George Michael to record the song as a duet. Narada Michael Walden, who worked with Aretha on her Who's Zoomin' Who album, produced this track. He also produced the song this displaced at the top spot of the Hot 100: "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" by Starship. This made him the eighth producer in the Rock Era to score back-to-back #1 hits. The "Instrumental" only appears as the b-side of the 7" single releases.

It was after this album that then-lead singer Barbara Weathers left the band to begin a solo career.
Tracklist: 01.Ava Cherry - Good Intentions (Two Left Shoes Mix) (7:39) 02.Ava Cherry - Good Intentions (Dub Mix) (6:46) 03.Ava Cherry - Majic Castle (3:30) "Good Intentions" is a 1987 single by American singer and model Ava Cherry. She collaborated with English musician David Bowie between 1972 and 1975; the two met in New York City when she was a nightclub waitress and Bowie was touring for The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. Afterwards, they began a period of personal and artistic collaboration that heavily influenced the Young Americans "blue-eyed soul" era. Following this, she struck out as a solo singer and backing artist for musicians such as Luther Vandross and Chaka Khan. "Good Intentions" was the first single taken from her third and most successful studio LP "Picture This" (1987). "Good Intentions" debuted on the Billboard Dance Chart on August 8, 1987 peaking at #16 after spending eight weeks on the survey.
Tracklist: 01.Bangles - Hazy Shade Of Winter (Purple Haze Mix) (5:01) 02.Bangles - Hazy Shade Of Winter (7" Dub Mix) (2:15) 03.Bangles - Hazy Shade Of Winter (7" Version) (2:46) 04.Bangles - Hazy Shade Of Winter (Shady Haze Version) (2:46) "A Hazy Shade of Winter" is a song by American music duo Simon & Garfunkel,originally released on October 22, 1966. In 1987, The Bangles recorded a cover version of the song for the Less Than Zero soundtrack; that version peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100. Their cover, simply titled "Hazy Shade of Winter," was a harder-edged rock song that removed most of the bridge section. The record, like the rest of the soundtrack album, was produced by Rick Rubin. After a fruitful but disappointing experience with the producer of their Different Light album, David Kahne, where they were given little input in the production of the songs, the group decided to take more control for the recording of this song, and they were given an additional producer credit. Michael Steele later commented that "we sounded the most on this record the way we actually sound live", and that "If we hadn't been so messed up as a band, it could have been a turning point for us." Lead vocals were performed jointly by all four members of the group, with a short solo led by Susanna Hoffs towards the end of the song. This was a rare occurrence in the Bangles songs, as they mostly had just one member singing lead on their songs. Due to pressure from their record label, The Bangles removed the verse from the original song that contained the line "drinking my vodka and lime." According to liner notes on the Soundtrack album, Steve Bartek from the band Oingo Boingo played guitar on the track. When released as a single in November 1987, "Hazy Shade of Winter" became a huge hit, surpassing the popularity of the original version, peaking at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100, only behind "Could've Been" by Tiffany, and also #11 in the UK. It was also a hit around Europe. The music video for the song featured the band singing in a studio surrounded by television screens on the walls, similar to a scene of the Less Than Zero film. Scenes of the film also appear throughout the video. "Hazy Shade of Winter" was not included on any of the band's studio albums, but was later included on the band's first official Greatest Hits in 1990, and on many of the band's subsequent compilations. The accompanying Greatest Hits video compilation did not feature the "Hazy Shade of Winter" video, due to complications with the licensing of the movie rights of the Less Than Zero scenes that appear on the video clip. The Bangles version was commonly used as bumper music for late night radio talk show Coast to Coast AM hosted by Art Bell in the mid to late 1990s.
Tracklist: 01.Bangles - Walking Down Your Street (Extended Dance Mix) (5:26) 02.Bangles - Walking Down Your Street (Dub Version) (5:04) 03.Bangles - Walking Down Your Street (Instrumental Version) (3:27) "Walking Down Your Street" is a song by The Bangles. It is the fourth single from their album Different Light. It was released as a single in 1987 and charted at #11 on the Billboard Hot 100, #16 on the UK Singles Chart, and #56 on the Australian Kent Music Report chart. The next single, "Following", was only released in the UK, making "Walking Down Your Street" the final single from Different Light in the US. The original LP version varies slightly from the 7" single version and the version included with their Greatest Hits compilation. It was written by Louis Gutierrez, guitarist Susanna Hoffs and producer David Kahne - making it the Bangles' first in a string of US Top 40 hits written by at least one band member. The video boasts appearances by Randy Quaid and Little Richard.

Tracklist: 01.Beastie Boys - She's Crafty (Special Version) (3:36) 02.Beastie Boys - No Sleep Till Brooklyn (Special Version) (4:07) "No Sleep till Brooklyn" is a song by the New York hip hop group the Beastie Boys, and the sixth single from their debut studio album, Licensed to Ill. One of their signature songs, it describes an exhaustive tour and all the events that make it tiresome, but also emphasizes their determination not to rest until they reach their home base of Brooklyn. "No Sleep till Brooklyn" was a popular concert favorite for the Beastie Boys and traditionally used as their closing song. Among other references to then-popular metal, the title is a play on the Motörhead album No Sleep 'til Hammersmith. The song has been several covers and parodies including Stutter Rap (No Sleep til Bedtime) by Morris Minor and the Majors. Kerry King, guitarist for Slayer, played the guitar riffs and solo; Slayer had released an album produced by Rick Rubin in 1986 (Reign in Blood). In a different tuning, the song interprets "TNT" by AC/DC. More metal commentary and adaptation is added by the video, directed by Ric Menello, as a parody of glam metal. Later in their career, the Beastie Boys continued to perform the song live, although with altered lyrics. "M.C.A.'s in the back because he's skeezin' with a whore," was changed to "M.C.A.'s in the back with the mahjong board", and "Autographed pictures and classy hoes" was changed to "Autographed pictures to nobody knows." The song features one of many homages to New York City's boroughs, and has been described as "joyful ranting". Bob Dylan played the song on the "New York" episode of Season 1 of his Theme Time Radio Hour show in 2007, noting the Beastie Boys were not merely a "flash in the pan" in his introduction.

(Vocal) (7:06) 04.Bee Gees - E.S.P "Extra Energy" (Dub) (6:42) 05.Bee Gees - Overnight (LP Version) (4:23) "E.S.P." was a single by the Bee Gees. Released in 1987, it was the follow-up to their successful single "You Win Again". The a cappella intro found on the album version was edited out for radio airplay. The original title of the song is "XTC" or "Ecstasy" before the Gibbs realized that it sounded like a drug reference so they changed it to "E.S.P.". The single did not do as well as the previous single "You Win Again", reaching only number 13 in Germany and outside the top forty elsewhere. Warner Bros. pushed "E.S.P." even more heavily with many alternate mixes on 12-inch singles. The reprise, a piece of the a cappella opening, was used as the closing number of the album. The single failed to chart in the United States.
Tracklist: 01.Bee Gees - E.S.P (Extended Version) (6:15) 02.Bee Gees - Overnight (LP Version) (4:20) 03.Bee Gees - E.S.P (LP Version) (5:33) E.S.P peaked at #51 in the UK and #8 in China, the song also di well in Germany entering the top 20 and peaking at #13. E.S.P did not chart in the United States. This UK 12" includes the Arif Mardin Extended version and the LP version which both include the acapella intro that was edited out of the single mix. I previously posted the Arthur Baker remixes of the song you can find it here.
Tracklist: 01.Bee Gees - You Win Again (Extended Remix) (5:15) 02.Bee Gees - Backtafunk (LP Version) (4:22) "You Win Again" is a 1987 song written by Barry, Robin & Maurice Gibb and performed by the Bee Gees. Released as a single in late 1987, it marked the start of the group's comeback, becoming a No. 1 hit in many European countries, including the UK—their first to do so in over eight years, and made them the first group to score a UK No. 1 hit in each of three decades: the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. As songwriters, the Gibb brothers received the 1987 British Academy's Ivor Novello award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically. In 1988, the band received a Brit Award nomination for Best British Group. In a UK television special on ITV in December 2011, it was voted second (behind "How Deep Is Your Love") in "The Nation's Favourite Bee Gees Song". "You Win Again" was a No. 1 single in Britain, Ireland, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Denmark and Norway, as well as making the top 10 in Italy, the Netherlands, Australia and Sweden. It also topped the Eurochart for four weeks. When the song reached No. 1 on 17 October 1987 in the UK, it made the Bee Gees the first group to score a UK No. 1 hit in each of three decades: the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. "You Win Again" entered the UK Singles Chart in September at No. 87, eventually staying at No. 1 for four weeks keeping off George Michael's single "Faith". It was less successful in the US however, only reaching No. 75 in the Billboard Hot 100.

Upon release, Cash Box listed the single as one of their "feature picks" during June 1987. They described the song as a "danceable, feverish single".
Tracklist: 01.Billy Idol - Mony Mony ("Hung Like A Pony Remix") (7:00) 02.Billy Idol - Mony Mony ("Steel Toe Cat Dub") (6:35) 03.Billy Idol - Mony Mony (Live) (4:10) 04.Billy Idol - Mony Mony (Single Edit) (5:02) "Mony Mony" is a song originally released in 1968 by American pop rock band Tommy James and the Shondells. British rock artist Billy Idol released a cover version in 1981 (on the Don't Stop EP). Along with the track "Baby Talk", Idol's version of "Mony Mony" went to #7 on the Billboard dance chart. A live recording of the song became a hit for Idol in 1987 as well, while promoting his then-forthcoming compilation work Vital Idol. The live version went to No. 1, coincidentally displacing Tiffany's cover of another Tommy James song, "I Think We're Alone Now", from the top spot. It also finished directly behind the Tiffany song at #19 in the 1987 year-end Billboard chart. Idol's version gave rise to an interesting custom. When the song was performed live in concert or played at a club or dance, people would shout a certain formulaic (and usually obscene) phrase in the two measures following each line, for example, "Hey! Get laid, get fucked!" This led to the song being banned at high-school dances across North America, although the custom continues at Idol concerts today.
Tracklist: 01.Billy Idol - Don't Need A Gun (The Beyond Melt Down Mix) (9:28) 02.Billy Idol - Don't Need A Gun (Dub Version) (5:15) 03.Billy Idol - Fatal Charm (3:41) "Don't Need a Gun" is a song by Billy Idol from his 1986 studio album Whiplash Smile.

Tracklist: 01.Book Of Love - Modigliani (Lost In Your Eyes) (I Dream Of Jeanne Mix) (7:42) 02.Book Of Love - Modigliani (Requiem Mass) (3:59) 03.Book Of Love - Mo'Dub'Iani (5:10) 04.Book Of Love - Modigliani (Lost In Your Eyes) (7" Re-Mix) (3:54) "Modigliani (Lost In Your Eyes)" is the fourth single released by the American synthpop band Book of Love. The song was included on the band's eponymous debut album Book of Love in 1986. The B-side to the single is a remixed version of "Modigliani" by Omar Santana, titled "Mo'dub'iani". "Modigliani (Lost In Your Eyes)", was released as a single in early 1987, making it the fourth and final single release from their debut album. The song was a dance club hit, peaking at no. 17 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart, becoming as popular as New Order and Depeche Mode singles in clubs at its peak. "Modigliani (Lost in Your Eyes)" is an ode to Italian painter Amedeo Modigliani. The track was penned by Jade Lee, Susan Ottaviano, and Ted Ottaviano (not related despite having the same last name), who had all been art school students and were inspired by the Italian painter's paintings and history. "Amedeo Modigliani had always been the band’s own version of a rock star. After all, we were all art school students. At the time I was working on the [Requiem Mass] remix I became submerged and almost obsessed in his life story. It read like a Bronte sisters novel. I wrote a short biography for the front cover of the 12 inch." -Ted Ottaviano on Modigliani, 2008. The cover of the single featured one of Modigliani's famous paintings of his mistress Jeanne Hebuterne, along with Ted's short bio: "Born in Livorno Italy on July 12, 1884, Amedeo Modigliani received little recognition for his paintings and sculpture during his lifetime. He had only a single one-man show, which instead of success brought scandal because of several nude paintings. He died of Tuberculosis at the age of 36. The day after his death, his mistress Jeanne Hebuterne, pregnant with his child, leaped from a fifth story window, killing both herself and the child. Within two years ironically, Modigliani's work began to be recognized and his reputation was soon established." For the back sleeve of the 12 inch single, Susan Ottaviano made drawings of each member of the band in the style of Modigliani. Similar, yet alternate large portrait drawings of the band were later used as large stage props behind the band on their Lullaby Tour in 1989. The last line of lyrics in the song are in Italian, "Amedeo Amedeo, gli occhi tuoi, mi anno fatto innamorare" roughly translates to "Amadeo Amadeo, I fell in love with you when I saw your eyes." The four-minute 'Requiem Mass' remixed version of "Modigliani (Lost in Your Eyes)" was featured in an episode of Miami Vice on November 6, 1987, and both the original single and 'Requiem Mass' remix were used in the 1987 film Planes, Trains and Automobiles.
Tracklist: 01.Boy George - Everything I Own (Extended P.W. Botha Mix) (7:13) 02.Boy George - Everything I Own (Dub Version) (4:32) 03.Boy George - Use Me (3:50) "Everything I Own" is a song written by David Gates. Originally recorded by Gates's rock band Bread in 1972. Boy George covered the song which reached number one on the UK singles chart for two weeks in March 1987, becoming his first hit as a solo artist. It was also his first solo single after a departure from his band, Culture Club. Owing more to the Ken Boothe version, the sweet reggae style was reminiscent of his earlier debut hit with Culture Club, "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me?". Coming at the time of his arrest for possession of heroin, it provided a major boost to his career. It was a number one in many countries (including the UK, Canada, Italy, Norway and South Africa) and top 10 in many markets too. In the US the track failed to make an impact on the Billboard Hot 100 but did peak at #45 on the Dance chart after spending two weeks on the survey becoming a certified gold single. The b-side "Use Me" is a non LP track.
Tracklist: 01.Boy George - Keep Me In Mind (4:02) 02.Boy George - State Of Love (Extended Mix) (6:50) 03.Boy George - I Pray (Remix) (4:40) "Keep Me In Mind" was the second single released from the 1987 album Sold recorded by Boy George. Radio 1 did not support this single nor did America. This single reached the UK Top 30 at No.29 also scored No.3 in Italy and No.55 in Germany and No.21 in Ireland. George claims this song as his "most American sounding" and geared it for an American audience with its glamour video and all. Ironically, Virgin America refused to release it in the US, due to its poor chart performance overseas as well as the lack of success with "Everything I Own" in the US charts. The b-side contains two non album tracks produced by Roy Hay. "I Pray" was originally released on the Culture Club album From Luxury To Heartache but has been remixed for this single.
Tracklist: 01.Boy George - Live My Life (12" Soul Remix) (7:23) 02.Boy George - Live My Life (The Quake Dub) (6:20) 03.Boy George - Live My Life (12" Klub Mix) (7:33) 04.Boy George - Live My Life (Klub Dub) (6:18) "Live My Life" is the fifth solo single by English singer-songwriter Boy George.

Tracklist: 01.Boy George - Sold (12" Version) (6:49) 02.Boy George - Everything I Own (Go Go Mix) (7:18) 03.Boy George - Are You Too Afraid? (4:43) "Sold" was the third single to be released from the debut solo album of the same name by English singer-songwriter Boy George. Like the previous singles from the album "Sold" did well in many European countries but was ignored in America this may be due in part to the fact that George was prohibited by US authorities from travelling to the United States for several years because of his British drug charges. He was therefore unable to be in America to help promote the album and it's singles. The single debuted on the UK singles chart on July 18, 1987 peaking at #24. The b-side "Are You Too Afraid?" was produced and co-written by Culture Club band mate Roy Hay the track does not appear on the album. The "Go Go Mix" of "Everything I Own" is the same mix that appears on the US 12" single titled 12" Remix. This version is remixed by Freddy Bastone.

(7" Version) (4:02) "Who The Am Dam Do You Think You Am" was the first single taken from the second LP of the same name by British band Boys Don't Cry best known for the hit single "I Wanna Be a Cowboy", which peaked at No. 12 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in 1986 and charted around the world. The band's second studio album which, for obscure reasons, was retitled to "Boys Don't Cry" for the US-market. This happened to be the title of their debut album (which was also released in the USA under that name). "Who The Am Dam Do You Think You Am" peaked at No. 94 UK on the singles chart for two weeks in May 1987. The single failed to chart in the USA making the band one-hit wonder in that country. This 12" was pressed on translucent orange vinyl.

Although it was released as the first single from the group's debut album All That Jazz, "Hands to Heaven" was not Breathe's debut single; the group had recorded and released songs prior to signing an album deal with A&M Records. One of these songs, "Don't Tell Me Lies", reached #77 on the UK Singles Chart in 1986 before being included on Breathe's debut album and subsequently being reissued. "Hands to Heaven" was, however, Breathe's breakthrough hit in both the UK as well as the United States. The ballad peaked at #4 on the UK Singles Chart in August 1988. In the US, it logged two weeks at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart that same month (kept from the summit by "Roll with It" by Steve Winwood) and spent 16 weeks in the Top 40. "Hands to Heaven" also peaked at #2 on the Billboard adult contemporary chart. The song also reached #4 in Norway and #14 in Sweden. This song was one of a number of singles, many by British and Australian bands, that helped to shape the smooth jazz radio format in the US in the mid to late 1980s. Other associated artists include Swing Out Sister, Johnny Hates Jazz, Icehouse and Sade.

The song is very popular among Bryan Adams fans and it won Canadian Music Publisher's Association Rock Song Of The Year Award. According to Billboard magazine, it was the 84th most-listened-to song of the year. The song was partly inspired by the film noir classic The Third Man, starring the actor-director Orson Welles. The darkness of the lyrics was further influenced by a trip Bryan and Jim Vallance took to Berlin in March 1986, before the wall came down.

In mid 1987 Australian singer and actress Carol Hitchcock had a top 20 hit on the Australian Kent Music Report Singles Chart with her cover version of the song7. It also peaked in the top 60 in the United Kingdom and top 50 in New Zealand. In 1985 Hitchcock had acted in the TV series, Prisoner. According to Hitchcock Stock Aitken Waterman recommended the track for her and she felt that "they were so wonderful to work with." As a bonus track I have added the Australian only "Earth To Moonbase Mix" which was released on a seperate Australia 12".
Tracklist: 01.Charlie Sexton - In Deep (Extended Version) (5:45) 02.Charlie Sexton - In Deep (Single Version) (4:15) 03.Charlie Sexton - In Deep (Dub Version) (4:25) Charles Wayne Sexton (born August 11, 1968) is an American guitarist, singer and songwriter best known for the 1985 hit Beat's So Lonely and as the guitarist for Bob Dylan's backing band from 1999 to 2002 and since 2009.

In 1987 Sexton was an occasional opening act for David Bowie on his Glass Spider Tour and contributed songs to various motion picture soundtracks, including True Romance and Air America while making a cameo fronting a bar band in Thelma & Louise. In 1987 Charlie Sexton contributed "In Deep" to the soundtrack for the Eddie Murphy film Beverly Hills Cop II. The song was released as a 12" single with remixes by Shep Pettibone but failed to chart.
Tracklist: 01.Cher - I Found Someone (Extended Version) (4:04) 02.Cher - Dangerous Times (3:00) 03.Cher - I Found Someone (3:41) "I Found Someone" is the name of a chart single originally written and composed for Laura Branigan by Michael Bolton and Touch keyboardist Mark Mangold. The song was a bigger hit for Cher in 1987, reaching the Top 10. The most successful version was released by American singer/actress Cher as the first U.S. and European single from her nineteenth album, "Cher" and was released on November 19, 1987 by Geffen. The song debuted on the UK Singles Chart in November 1987 at number 91 and peaked at number five in January 1988 and spent thirteen weeks in the chart. Part of a much-heralded musical comeback at the height of her movie career, a big-budget music video featured the singer-actress with her then-boyfriend Rob Camilletti. The couple were a big story in the tabloids at the time, as he was seventeen years her junior, and the video was the aspiring actor's debut. The video was in heavy rotation on MTV and Cher's version went to #10 in the U.S. and to #5 in the UK. An alternative concert video features Cher in a dress that was also used in The Black Rose Show in 1980. "I Found Someone" began a three-album association with Bolton and Cher's other contributors, including Branigan alumnus Diane Warren as well as Jon Bon Jovi and future boyfriend Richie Sambora, and their song-writing partner Desmond Child.

The basic melodic hook of the song is taken from a hit by Club Nouveau member Jay King's previous project as producer, Timex Social Club (namely, the song "Thinkin' About Ya"). The song has been sampled several times by other musicians. Hip-hop duo Luniz interpolated the song on their hit single "I Got 5 on It"; that song was then sampled by Sean 'Puff Daddy' Combs, on his hit single, "Satisfy You"; as well as "I Like It" by Mr. Capone-E and "I Know" by Yo Gotti. Singer Ashanti sampled the song for her hit single "Only U", as well as Jennifer Lopez on "I'm Gonna Be Alright". No Doubt singer Gwen Stefani cited the song as the reason she recorded her solo debut album Love. Angel. Music. Baby., after she listened to it while the band was on tour. "Why You Treat Me So Bad?" reached #2 on the Billboard R&B Chart, #22 (Dance), #39 on the Billboard Hot 100 sibgles Chart.

The single was produced by Steve Nye who has worked with artists such as Japan, Bryan ferry, Penguin Cafe Orchestra and XTC.

In 1989 the band changed their name to Shrine Of Eight and re-released "Burning Flame" as "Perfect Crime" which I posted in 2013 you can find it here. Pretty sure the "The Islamix" is the same as the "Generic Mix" on Side A of the "Burning Flame" 12".
Tracklist: 01.Curiosity Killed the Cat - Misfit (Extended Version) (7:03) 02.Curiosity Killed the Cat - Misfit (7" Edit) (4:05) 03.Curiosity Killed the Cat - Misfit (Club Mix) (5:23) 04.Curiosity Killed the Cat - Misfit (Dub Mix) (4:05) "Misfit" is the debut single by English band Curiosity Killed the Cat, originally released in August 1986. The song was not particularly successful and only reached number 76 on the UK Singles Chart. However, the following year, after the success of "Down to Earth" and "Ordinary Day", "Misfit" was re-released in June 1987, upon which it was much more successful, peaking at number 7 in the UK. In the United States "Misfit" peaked at number 42 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, and number39 on the Billboard Dance chart. The music video was directed by Andy Warhol and also features a cameo appearance by him. It was also one of his last assignments before his death the following year. The band met Warhol at an exhibition in Mayfair and he took a shine to bass player Nick Thorp. He then invited the band to a banquet he was having later at the Café Royal and said he was interested in hearing some of their music. After listening to "Misfit", Warhol said he'd 'love to do a video for you boys' after Phonogram had said they weren't going to make a video for it. The video was then shot in New York in a week.

It reached No. 9 on the US Billboard Hot 100, making the song their second biggest hit in the United States.
Tracklist: 01.Cyndi Lauper - Boy Blue (Remix) (3:56) 02.Cyndi Lauper - The Faraway Nearby (3:00) "Boy Blue" is a pop song written by Cyndi Lauper, Stephen Broughton Lunt, and Jeff Bova for Lauper's second album True Colors (1986). It was released as the album's fourth single in 1987. The single version is a remix (which cuts much of Lauper's more impressive vocal wailing, presumably in effort to make it more commercially accessible). Charting at #71 on the US Billboard Hot 100, it was Lauper's first solo single that failed to make a real impact on the charts. Proceeds from the sale of the single were donated to AIDS organizations. The official video was a live clip of the song in Paris, France and it was pulled from the concert video Cyndi Lauper in Paris. The video received heavy airplay on MTV when the single was released (during June and July 1987) and was rarely played after. A live version of "Boy Blue" was later released as the B-side of her single "Hole in My Heart (All the Way to China)". Thematically like "True Colors" on the album, Lauper wrote this song for a friend who died of AIDS, and the title comes from a poem by Eugene Field called "Little Boy Blue".
Tracklist: 01.Dalbello - Tango (Dance Mix) (8:16) 02.Dalbello - Tango (Single) (4:08) 03.Dalbello - Tango (Dub Mix) (4:31) "Tango" is a single by Canadian recording artist, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and voice actress Dalbello.

In the UK the song reached #4 on the Indie charts.
Tracklist: 01.David Bowie - Day-In Day-Out (Groucho Mix) (6:28) 02.David Bowie - Day-In Day-Out (Extended Dance Mix) (7:16) 03.David Bowie - Day-In Day-Out (Single Version) (4:11) 04.David Bowie - Julie (3:40) "Day-In Day-Out" is the first track on David Bowie's album Never Let Me Down. It was issued as a single in March 1987, ahead of the album's release. Bowie wrote the song out of concern for the treatment of the homeless in the US. The song's R&B roots were reminiscent of some of Bowie's R&B work in the 1970s with one author saying that the song is "an example of Bowie's strength in the R&B genre." The single's B-side, "Julie," was described by one reviewer as the "catchiest" song of all the songs from Never Let Me Down, and lamented that the song was relegated to b-side status This Limited Edition US 12" contains the "Groucho Mix" remixed by Paul "Groucho" Smykle and is only commercially available on this 12". It did also appear on a UK 12" promo.
Tracklist: 01.David Bowie - Day-In Day-Out (7" Dance Edit) (3:36) 02.David Bowie - Day-In Day-Out (Extended Dub Mix) (7:17) 03.David Bowie - Day-In Day-Out (Edited Dance Mix) (4:30) "Day-In Day-Out" is the first track on David Bowie's album Never Let Me Down. It was issued as a single in March 1987, ahead of the album's release. The song criticised the urban decay and deprivation in American cities at the time, concerned largely with the depths a young mother has to sink to feed her child, including attempting to shoplift and becoming a prostitute. The video was banned and censored as a result. The single was modest hit, entering the top 10 charts in several countries worldwide. This US 12" promo contains special edits by Shep Pettibone exclusive to this release. The sleeve and labels also list track A2 incorrectly it is actually the "Extended Dub Mix".
Tracklist: 01.David Bowie - Never Let Me Down (Extended Dance Remix) (7:02) 02.David Bowie - Never Let Me Down (7" Remix Edit) (3:57) 03.David Bowie - Never Let Me Down (Dub/Acapella) (5:59) 04.David Bowie - Never Let Me Down (Instrumental) (4:02) 05.David Bowie - '87 And Cry (Single Version) (4:20) "Never Let Me Down" is the title track on David Bowie's album Never Let Me Down. It was issued as the third single from the album in August 1987, and would be Bowie's last solo single until 1992's "Real Cool World", barring a remix of "Fame" (1990). The least successful single from the album, it failed to enter the top 10 singles chart in any country in the world (its highest placement was number 15 on the US rock chart), and it was Bowie's last single to chart in the top 40 of the US Billboard Top 100 charts until his 2015 single "Lazarus". Bowie performed the song on BBC's Top of the Pops on 16 September 1987, and it was aired on the first broadcast of the American version of the show. Bowie described the song as a "pivotal" track for himself, calling it the most personal song he had written for an album to that point in his career. The song is about Bowie's long-time personal assistant, Coco Schwab. Bowie described their relationship, saying: It's platonic. But there is a romance in it, I guess, inasmuch as it's hard for two people to feel totally at ease in each other's company for that period of time and not expect too much from each other. Always being prepared to be there if the other one needs someone, you know? There's not many people you find in life that you can do that with, or feel that way with. Bowie had started with his own chord structure for the song but wasn't happy with it, calling it "ponderous and funereal." Long-time collaborator and co-song writer Carlos Alomar reworked the chords for the song into the final version, which was recorded in one day during the last week of mixing the album at New York's Power Station studios in early 1987. The record sleeve and labels show the "Dub" and "Acapella" as two seperate tracks. They are actually one continuous song.
Tracklist: 01.David Bowie - Time Will Crawl (Dance Crew Mix) (5:34) 02.David Bowie - Time Will Crawl (Dub) (5:15) 03.David Bowie - Girls (Japanese Version) (4:01) “Time Will Crawl” is the second track on David Bowie’s album Never Let Me Down and was issued as the second single from the album. The single was a minor hit, breaking into the top 10 charts in the US. This is the UK release of the 12" which includes European only mixes of "Time Will Crawl" by Chris Lord Alge. Rumour has it that this 12" was deleted after five days of it's initial release in 1987.
Tracklist: 01.David Bowie - Time Will Crawl (Extended Dance Mix) (6:10) 02.David Bowie - Time Will Crawl (4:18) 03.David Bowie - Girls (Extended Edit) (5:35) 04.David Bowie - Girls (Japanese Version) (4:01) "Time Will Crawl" is the second track on David Bowie's album Never Let Me Down and was issued as the second single from the album. The single was a minor hit, breaking into the top 10 charts in the US. The song is generally considered the best song from an otherwise poorly received album, and in 2008 Bowie named the track as one of his favorites of his entire career. The song was written about the pollution and destruction of the planet by industry (Bowie has cited hearing of the Chernobyl disaster in April 1986 as the genesis of the lyric). In an 1987 interview, Bowie said the song "deals with the idea that someone in one's own community could be the one responsible for blowing up the world." Bowie also stated at the time that it was his favorite song from the album, and later put the song on his list of all-time favorites by including a newly remixed version of the song (the "MM Remix") on his iSelect album. The b-sdie "Girls" is a non album track written by David Bowie and Erdal Kizilcay. The song was also recorded by Tina Turner for her album Break Every Rule.
Tracklist: 01.Dead Or Alive - Hooked On Love (The Big Revolver Mix) (8:17) 02.Dead Or Alive - Hooked On Love (La Vie En Rose Mix) (3:54) 03.Dead Or Alive - You Spin Me Round (Like A Record) (Live) (6:51) 04.Dead Or Alive - Big Daddy Of The Rhythm (Live) (3:27) 05.Dead Or Alive - In Too Deep (Live) (4:35) 06.Dead Or Alive - Cake And Eat It (Live) (5:36) "Hooked On Love" was the third single released from Dead Or Alive's third album "Mad, Bad and Dangerous To Know" continuing their association with the Stock Aitken Waterman production team. "Hooked on Love", suffered from very little promotion due to what the record company felt was a "Gothic" overtone that had been added to the song in a post-production remix. The single barely managed to scrape into the UK top 70 peaking at #69. "Hooked On Love" was only released in Europe, Australia and Japan. As a bonus track I have added the live version of "Cake And Eat It" taken from the Ltd. Edition UK "Brand New Lover" 12". All of the live tracks were recorded in 1985 at the Hammersmith Odeon. This japanese first pressing contains a large fold out poster.
Tracklist: 01.Dead Or Alive - I'll Save You All My Kisses (The Sonia Mezumbda Memorial Mix) (5:18) 02.Dead Or Alive - I'll Save You All My Kisses (The Long Wet Sloppy Kiss Mix) (7:10) 03.Dead Or Alive - I Wanna Be A Toy (3:58) The picture sleeve for the fourth single from Mad, Bad And Dangerous To Kow, "I'll Save You All My Kisses", originally featured Pete Burns with a metal "Sex" belt buckle in front of his lips, but Epic Records covered up the word "Sex" with a sticker that said "Kiss" after retailers objected and refused to display the single. The music video was banned by MTV because of its overtly gay content, which depicted Burns in black tights and a leather jacket singing the song from a baseball diamond while a number of men, some of them shirtless, clung to a fence and ogled him. However, despite these setbacks, the band continued to have chart success in Australia, Europe and (particularly) Japan, where they had reached superstar status with nine #1 singles up to 1988. In the US the 12" single peaked at #48 on the Billboard Hot Dance Music/Maxi-Singles Sales chart.
Tracklist: 01.Dead Or Alive - Rip It Up (Flip Out Mix) (8:10) 02.Dead Or Alive - Rip It Up (Flip Out Mix Edit Version) (5:16) 03.Dead Or Alive - Brand New Lover (Brand New Edit) (6:30) Here is the MEGA RARE 1987 Japanese PROMO-ONLY 12″ “Rip It Up (Flip Out Mix)” from British band Dead Or Alive. This is one of the most sought after Dead Or Alive promos… very few in existence and very rare. This 12″ was used to promote the album “Rip It Up” and has never appeared on any other Dead Or Alive release. There were only about 100 copies of this 12″ made making it one of the rarest Japanese Dead Or Alive items. Japanese PROMOS are by far the rarest of all promotional format. When finished with the vinyl, radio stations would either smash or throw away the promos to prevent resale. Japan stopped pressing vinyl mainstream in the mid 1990’s and switched to the CD format for most releases. The very existence of a Japanese PROMO is itself rare, much less a promo from Dead Or Alive!
Tracklist: 01.Debbie Gibson - Out Of The Blue (Club Mix) (5:50) 02.Debbie Gibson - Out Of The Blue (Bonus Beats) (4:21) 03.Debbie Gibson - Out Of The Blue (Drumapella) (4:04) 04.Debbie Gibson - Out Of The Blue (Dub Version) (3:56) "Out of the Blue" is the third single by American singer-songwriter-actress Deborah Gibson. Released as a single in January 1988, "Out of the Blue" gave Gibson her highest chart placing at the time by reaching number three in the U.S. In the UK, it did slightly less well than her two previous singles, stalling at number nineteen.

Originally recorded in the spring of 1987, the song is written by Gibson herself and produced by Fred Zarr. It was released in September 1987 and reached #4 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in December that year. It was her breakthrough single in the U.K., reaching #7 in early 1988. The 12" single reached #1 on the U.S. Maxi-Singles sales chart. Although Side A lists the "Vocal/Club Mix" and "Bonus Beats" as two seperate tracks it is actually one twelve minute version without any gap between songs. I have left it this way to keep the integrity of the original vinyl release.
Tracklist: 01.Debbie Gibson - Staying Together (Remix) (6:01) 02.Debbie Gibson - Staying Together (Dub Version) (5:44) 03.Debbie Gibson - Staying Together (Bonus Beats) (1:35) "Staying Together" is the fifth single from American singer-songwriter-actress Debbie Gibson, and the fourth released in support of her album Out of the Blue. However, it did not perform as well as any of the previous singles, stalling at #22 on the Billboard Hot 100. The single reached #53 in the UK in 1988.

In the US two seperate 12" singles were released the first included remixes by American remixer Justin Strauss. These remixes were only released in the US. Also of note track B1 is listed as 12:00 on the record label. This is incorrect the actual track duration is 7:46.
Tracklist: 01.Debbie Harry - In Love With Love (London Extended Mix) (7:16) 02.Debbie Harry - In Love With Love (London Mix Edit) (3:21) 03.Debbie Harry - In Love With Love (Heart Of Fire Mix) (7:15) 04.Debbie Harry - Secret Life (LP Version) (3:44) The UK single version of "In Love With Love," was remixed and produced by the Stock Aitken Waterman production team, who at the time were producing many popular singles in both the UK and the US by artists such as Bananarama, Dead or Alive, Rick Astley, (and later Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan). As a result, Geffen Records issued a second 12" of the song in the US including these UK mixes, labelling them "London Mixes". "In Love With Love" debuted on the US Billboard Hot 100 on July 4, 1987 spending seven weeks on the survey peaking at #70. In the UK the single peaked at #45 in May 1987.

The single was written by Franne Golde, Dennis Lambert and Duane Hitchings. It peaked at #2 on the Billboard Black Singles chart and peaked at #72 on the Billboard Hot 100. In the UK, the song peaked at #45. Guitar, bass and drum programming is by Paul Jackson, Jr. The music video for the song has been described as "what ... might be the worst video ever". However, given the rudimentary style of video making utilized at the time, many believe that the video was of, at least, moderate quality. Despite its simplicity, some early video aficionados descride the video as "awesomely terrible". Regardless of how critics view this video, most agree that it is visual accompaniment for one of the greatest soul songs of the 1980s.

The b-side "Pimpf" is a dark instrumental that is mostly piano, named after a magazine of the Hitler Youth organizations. "Pimpf" later shows up as the final track on Music for the Masses. There is also a remix available on some "Strangelove" single releases called "Fpmip" ("Pimpf" backwards). This is the first US 12" release for "Strangelove" released May 20th, 1987. Significant to the US 12 inch single release (20696-0) is the "Blind Mix". Unlike every other release of this mix worldwide, the US release fades the mix out prematurely (by a little under a minute). This abnormal mastering job was also available on the Sire Records promotional CD compilation "Hit It", and on other US releases of the remix, until the 1991 CD single box sets.
Tracklist: 01.Dokken - Dream Warriors (Remix) (4:43) 02.Dokken - Back On The Attack (3:51) 03.Dokken - Paris Is Burning (3:38) "Dream Warriors" is a song by American band Dokken, that was written by members George Lynch & Jeff Pilson for the movie A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors. The song was released as a single in 1987, charting at number 22 on the Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, and was also released on Dokken's fourth album, Back for the Attack. In addition to "Dream Warriors," the single contained the songs "Back for the Attack" - a previously unreleased track from the Under Lock and Key album sessions, and "Paris Is Burning," from the album Breaking the Chains.
Tracklist: 01.Donna Summer - All Systems Go (Dance Mix) (7:57) 02.Donna Summer - Fascination (LP Version) (4:28) Produced by Harold Faltermeyer "All Systems Go" was the final single from the Donna Summer album of the same name. Edited from its original album version, it became a minor hit in countries such as the United Kingdom, where it reached number fifty-four. In the US the single was only released as a promo 12" single and failed to chart despite a remix by Bruce Forest. David Geffen's response to the commercial disappointment of All Systems Go was to assign Summer to work with the Stock, Aitken and Waterman production team whose dance pop singles were dominating the UK charts and who had had US success with Bananarama and Rick Astley. Ultimately Geffen, after misguiding her career and fatally misjudging her material since 1981, dropped Summer from the roster rather than release the resultant Another Place and Time. The album was picked up for release in the US by Atlantic Records in 1989. Ironically, Geffen Records had misjudged once again as the album would be a bigger success than her previous Geffen Records release All Systems Go. Another Place and Time had provided Summer with one final solid commercial success and her last top ten US single, fourteen years after the release of her first top ten hit "Love to Love You Baby" had hit the charts.
Tracklist: 01.Donna Summer - Dinner With Gershwin (Extended Version) (7:43) 02.Donna Summer - Dinner With Gershwin (Instrumental Version) (4:52) "Dinner with Gershwin" is song written by Brenda Russell. It was first recorded by Donna Summer in 1987, which Russell co-produced with Richard Perry. "Dinner With Gershwin" was the first single off Summer's All Systems Go album which was Summer's first album of new material released in four years. "Dinner With Gershwin" returned Summer to the Billboard R&B Top Ten - at #10 - for a final time but became the first lead single off a Donna Summer album of new material since 1978 to fall short of the Pop Top 40, peaking at #48. "Dinner With Gershwin" was better received on the UK charts entering the Top 30 in November 1987, with Summer's 19 November appearance on Top of the Pops - her first - assisting the track to a #13 peak. Brenda Russell later recorded her own version of the song for her 1990 album Kiss Me With The Wind.
Tracklist: 01.Donny Osmond - I'm In It For Love (Full Mix) (5:20) 02.Donny Osmond - Keep Me Hummin' (3:45) 03.Donny Osmond - What Am I Here For (Instrumental) (3:24) "I'm In It For Love" is a 1987 one off single only released in Europe by American pop singer Donny Osmond. The original version of the song later appeared as a bonus track on the US CD edition of Donny's self titled album in 1988. The two tracks on the b-side "Keep Me Hummin'" and "What Am I Here For" are non-lp tracks. "I'm In It For Love" peaked at #70 on the UK singles chart.
Tracklist: 01.Duran Duran - American Science (Chemical Reaction Mix) (7:42) 02.Duran Duran - Vertigo (Do The Demolition) (Mantronix Mix) (6:27) 03.Duran Duran - Skin Trade (Parisian Mix) (8:09) 04.Duran Duran - American Science (Meltdown Dub) (7:24) 05.Duran Duran - Vertigo (Do The Demolition) (B-Boy Mix) (5:57) 06.Duran Duran - Master Mix (Notoriousaurus Rex) (7:20) 07.Duran Duran - Skin Trade (S.O.S. Dub) (7:16) "Master Mixes" is a 12" EP by Duran Duran, released in Asia, Hong Kong and the USA by Capitol Records-EMI-Masterdisc on 20 June 1987 and in Brazil during December 1987. The 12" vinyl edition released in Asia, Hong Kong and the USA is a double one-sided record, housed in a plain white stickered sleeve. The Brazilian edition was issued in a picture sleeve in December 1987 for promotional purposes, to coincide with the Hollywood Rock Festival shows in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo in January 1988. Rumour had it that the band were readying either "American Science" or "Vertigo" as a likely fourth single from the album Notorious, commissioning remixes in anticipation. However, as both "Skin Trade" and "Meet El Presidente" failed to enter the top 20, plans for a fourth single were quietly scrapped. Masterdisk released this Master Mixes collection, compiling the unused remixes, as well as a further mix of "Skin Trade" and a megamix called "Notoriousaurus Rex" in time for Duran Duran's USA leg of The Strange Behaviour Tour in June and July 1987. **As a special bonus I have included "Skin Trade (S.O.S. Dub)" which was taken from the US "Meet El Presidente" 12" promo single. This mix has never appeared on CD.
Tracklist: 01.Duran Duran - Meet El Presidente (The Presidential Suite) (7:12) 02.Duran Duran - Meet El Presidente (Meet El Beat) (5:30) 03.Duran Duran - Meet El Presidente (45 Mix) (3:40) 04.Duran Duran - Vertigo (Do The Demolition) (4:43) "Meet El Presidente" is the 16th single from Duran Duran, and the third single from the Notorious album. According to a studio report in Star Hits magazine, one of the early drafts of this song was called "One of the Faithful." A demo version by that name can be found on several bootlegs. The album version of the song is considerably different from the single and video versions, and from all the remixes. The former's original key and tempo are maintained, but mixes elements of the master to differing degrees for the single release, the main ones being a more emphatic, up-front mix for the percussion, brass, and backing vocal tracks, throughout the song. "Meet El Presidente" was backed by album track "Vertigo (Do The Demolition)". This was the second single from Notorious to have an album track as b-side. "Meet El Presidente" peaked at #24 in the UK on April 25,1987 in the United States the song readhed #70 on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart on May 2, 1987.
Tracklist: 01.Duran Duran - Skin Trade (Stretch Mix) (7:41) 02.Duran Duran - Skin Trade (Album Version) (5:57) 03.Duran Duran - We Need You (2:51) "Skin Trade" is the second single from Duran Duran's Notorious album, and the band's 15th single in total. It was released in January 1987, reached #22 on the UK Singles Chart, and #39 on the Billboard Hot 100. The music for "Skin Trade" was written long before Simon LeBon finally finished the lyrics. The title for the song was derived from the Dylan Thomas book Adventures in the Skin Trade which John Taylor had on him during recording of the album. It was shortened to "Skin Trade" and LeBon eventually wrote the melody and lyrics for the track while spending an evening in Taylor's Upper West Side Manhattan apartment. The lyrics reflect on how everyone is selling themselves, and "there's a little hooker in each of us". The single was quite a departure for the band. Simon LeBon sang in falsetto, Le Bon admits he was channeling The Rolling Stones lead singer Mick Jagger on their song "Emotional Rescue". A horn section played a prominent role in the track, as played by The Borneo Horns. The band persevered with the single and many aspects of their future business took inspiration from "Skin Trade". They called their publishing company Skin Trade Music Ltd. and the Notorious tour was called the "Strange Behaviour Tour" (a reference to that line of the song). Likewise, a 1987 remix EP and a 1999 double CD collection of remixes were also called Strange Behaviour. Andy Taylor was no longer an official member of Duran Duran by that time, but he was credited as a session guitarist on this song, although apparently he did not participate in the recordings. Meanwhile the new guest musicians, Steve Ferrone and Warren Cuccurullo, played the drums and lead guitars respectively. Nile Rodgers played some lines of the rhythm guitar. In a retrospective review of the single, AllMusic journalist Donald A. Guarisco praised the song. He wrote: "The music lends contrast to the angry tone of the lyrics by creating a sultry, mellow melody that juxtaposes verses with a soft, hypnotic ebb and flow with an ever-ascending chorus that revs up the song's inherent drama." The b-side to "Skin Trade" was the only original b-side released during the Notorious era. Entitled "We Need You", it was written and recorded in 1986 while the band awaited the return of Andy Taylor for a recording session. It was the first recording to feature just the three remaining members of Duran Duran - Nick Rhodes, John Taylor and Simon Le Bon. Two further mixes of "Skin Trade" (S.O.S. Dub & Parisian Mix) were completed, but not released commercially during the "Skin Trade" release cycle. They appeared on a US 12" promo and on a UK 12" promo, backed with remixes of the next single "Meet El Presidente". The "Parisian Mix" was also released on the promo-only Master Mixes EP.
Tracklist: 01.E.G. Daily - Mind Over Matter (Remix) (7:02) 02.E.G. Daily - Mind Over Matter (Edit) (6:19) "Mind Over Matter" single by American singer–songwriter E.G. Daily. The song was recorded in 1987 for the soundtrack to the movie Summer School starring Mark Harmon. "Mind Over Matter" debuted on the U.S. Billboard Dance Chart on September 12, 1987 spending nine weeks on the survey peaking at #7. Debbie Harry recorded the track for the movie, but was not legally able to appear on the A&M soundtrack due to her own record company contracts with Chrysalis & Geffen, instead E.G. Daily was brought in to re-record the track.

It was subsequently released as a single in 1987 reaching number 29 on the UK Singles Chart in February 1988 and number 13 on the Irish Singles Chart in 1991. The song was produced by The Doors' keyboard player, Ray Manzarek. A 12-inch version was released in February 1988 before the single was re-released in 1991.

The short lived band only released two singles in France on the indie label New Rose Records before disappearing into the the lost 80s void.
Tracklist: 01.Erasure - Sometimes (Shiver Mix) (5:50) 02.Erasure - Sometimes (Extended Mix) (7:30) 03.Erasure - It Doesn't Have To Be (The Boop Oopa Doo Mix) (7:13) 04.Erasure - Sexuality (Private Mix) (5:56) "Sometimes" is a song by British synthpop duo Erasure, released in October 1986 as their fourth single overall. After three commercial flops from their debut album Wonderland, "Sometimes" became Erasure's first bona fide hit, peaking at number one in South Africa, number two in their native United Kingdom and in Germany, and becoming a huge international hit. The song became Erasure's second Top 5 hit on the U.S. Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart, where it charted alongside "It Doesn't Have to Be" and peaked at number four. Written by band members Vince Clarke and Andy Bell, "Sometimes" typifies the Erasure "sound" — an uptempo, dance-oriented pop tune accentuated by Clarke's analogue synthesizers and Bell's lyrics about being in love. The music video showcases Erasure on a building rooftop — Clarke playing an acoustic guitar and Bell singing — as they weave through white sheets hanging from a laundry line; near the end of the video rain starts to fall on the duo. "Sometimes" spent seventeen weeks in the UK singles chart — the duo's longest chart run for a single in that country — and was included on Erasure's second album The Circus, released six months later in March 1987.
Tracklist: 01.Erasure - The Circus (Gladiator Mix) (6:08) 02.Erasure - The Circus (Decay Mix) (5:33) 03.Erasure - The Circus (Bareback Mix) (6:36) 04.Erasure - The Circus (DJ Mix) (3:52) "The Circus" is a song by British synthpop duo Erasure, released in September 1987 as the band's seventh single overall. It is also the title track on their second album, The Circus. The album version clocks at 5.30 minutes, so the song was remixed for single release to a much more radio-friendly 3:50 minutes. Mute Records issued it as the fourth and final single from the album. Written by Erasure members Vince Clarke and Andy Bell, "The Circus" was a departure from the shiny pop of their six previous singles, creating a more down-tempo and melancholy mood. Essentially a synthpop track, the music is accentuated by acoustic guitar and a continuous circus-like accordion. The lyrics touch on social issues, rare for the duo, and centre on the lament of "working men", whose bright futures and job securities are left shattered in the modern world of greedy corporations and technology. The song's distinctive and unusual sound is said to have been inspired by Bell hearing a record being played backwards. Despite its haunting quality and dark lyrical content, "The Circus" became Erasure's third UK Top 10 hit, peaking at number six.
Tracklist: 01.Erasure - Victim Of Love (Vixenvitesse Mix) (5:41) 02.Erasure - Soldier's Return (Machinery Mix) (5:00) 03.Erasure - Victim Of Love (Extended Mix) (6:56) 04.Erasure - Victim Of Love (Dub Mix) (3:24) "Victim of Love" is a song by British synthpop duo Erasure, released in May 1987 as their sixth single overall. It was the third single to be lifted from the duo's second album, The Circus, released six weeks earlier, and was remixed for single release. The song was written by band members Vince Clarke and Andy Bell and incorporates the signature Erasure sound of uptempo rhythm, analog synthesizer and a prominent acoustic guitar. Bell's lyrics pertain to one's apprehension when entering into a new love relationship. The song's protagonist doesn't "want to look like some kind of fool" or become a "victim of love". Upon its release, "Victim of Love" became the second UK Top 10 single for Erasure, peaking at number seven. "Victim of Love" also hit number one on the U.S. Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart (Clarke and Bell would have to wait eighteen years before their second U.S. Dance chart-topper "Breathe"). The song remains one of Erasure's signature tunes and is a concert favorite.
Tracklist: 01.Eurythmics - Beethoven (I Love To Listen To) (Dance Mix) (5:19) 02.Eurythmics - Heaven (3:28) 03.Eurythmics - Beethoven (I Love To Listen To) (Extended Version) (4:48) Nothing really new here on this 12" but being a completest I wanted to include this 12" so that all of the single releases from Eurythmics sixth studio album "Savage" were represented. “Beethoven (I Love to Listen To)” is a song by the British pop music duo Eurythmics, released as the first single (in the UK) from their 1987 album, Savage. It was written by group members Annie Lennox and David A. Stewart. Although not released as a single in the United States, the track appeared as a double A-side of the 12 inch single for “I Need a Man”, and received heavy rotation on MTV. It was a Top 20 hit in several European territories and also in Australia. The Savage album returned Eurythmics to a more electronic sound and the “Beethoven” vocals are performed mostly as spoken-word from Lennox, with the exception of the repeated phrase “I love to” throughout the track.
Tracklist: 01.Eurythmics - I Need A Man (Macho Mix) (5:56) 02.Eurythmics - I Need A Man (Edited) (4:04) 03.Eurythmics - Beethoven (I Love To Listen To) (Dance Mix) (5:19) 04.Eurythmics - Beethoven (I Love To Listen To) (7" Edit) (3:52) "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.
Tracklist: 01.Eurythmics - Shame (Dance Mix) (5:40) 02.Eurythmics - I've Got A Lover (Back In Japan) (4:26) 03.Eurythmics - Shame (4:23) "Shame" 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. The song appears on the duo's sixth studio album Savage and was released as the second single in the UK. "Shame" was not released in the United States. The track is a synthpop ballad in which the protagonist expresses regret and disdain for excessive and shallow lifestyles led by those who frequent nightclubs, bars, parties and the like. The lyrics namecheck The Beatles and The Rolling Stones and mentions the song "All You Need is Love". "Shame" stalled at number forty-one in the UK singles chart, the first Eurythmics single to miss the UK Top 40 since "Julia" in 1985.

Tracklist: 01.Exposé - Let Me Be The One (Extended Mix) (8:04) 02.Exposé - Let Me Be The One (Crossover Mix) (4:57) 03.Exposé - Let Me Be The One (Radio Edit / Single Version) (4:08) 04.Exposé - Let Me Be The One (Dub Mix) (8:34) "Let Me Be the One" is a single by Exposé, released on May 15, 1987. Written and produced by Lewis Martineé and appears on their debut album, Exposure. The lead vocals on the song were performed by Gioia Bruno. Released as a single in August 1987, "Let Me Be the One" became the group's third consecutive top-ten single on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in October of that year, when it peaked at No. 7. The song also reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart. In the United Kingdom, the song reached No. 76 on the British pop chart.
Tracklist: 01.Exposé - Point Of No Return (Extended Mix) (9:42) 02.Exposé - Point Of No Return (Crossover Mix) (5:48) 03.Exposé - Dub Of No Retun (Strikes Again) (6:33) "Point of No Return" is a single by the American pop group Exposé. Written and produced by Lewis Martineé. Exposé was initially formed in 1984 when Lewis Martineé, a Miami disc jockey and producer, decided to form a dance-based group. Working with his partners Ismael Garcia and Frank Diaz at Pantera Productions, talent scouts hired Sandra Casañas (Sandeé), Alejandra Lorenzo (Alé), and Laurie Miller as the group’s lineup, under the title X-Posed. The next year, the trio recorded “Point of No Return” for Pantera Records as a 12-inch vinyl single, which became a #1 hit on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart. The song helped to introduce a still-popular genre of music that became known as freestyle, which often features keyboard riffs, a sing-along chorus, and electro funk drum-machine patterns in the music arrangement. The success of “Point of No Return” quickly led Exposé to sign with Arista/BMG Records, which promptly assumed distribution of the 12-inch vinyl single. During the recording of the group’s first studio album Exposure, the personnel of the group changed. Reports vary based on the source. According to People magazine, one of the original singers quit while two of the girls were fired midway through the recording of the first album, but according to Billboard, all three were fired. Arista records felt that the three original singers lacked star potential. Martinee states that he made the decision himself to replace the three girls, while Miller maintains it was all their choice, and Jurado confirms that Lorenzo wanted to leave. Shortly thereafter, Casañas pursued a solo career and Lorenzo pursued other ambitions; they were replaced by Jeanette Jurado and Gioia Bruno. Miller began a solo career; she was replaced by Ann Curless. In February 1987, the new lineup of Exposé released its debut album, Exposure, on Arista Records. Notably, unlike many classic girl groups, Exposé alternated lead vocals among its members. During the summer of 1987, a re-recorded version of “Point of No Return” was released, with Jurado performing lead vocals, and it topped out at #5 on the Hot 100 in July 1987. While the initial distribution of Exposure to suppliers contained the original 1984 version of that song, subsequent pressings contained the new vocal version; this has led to the original pressings of the album being considered a collector’s item. "It's just a little song about loving somebody to the point of no return," said songwriter Lewis Martineé when asked if there was a deeper meaning to the song. "I just liked the title 'Point Of No Return,' so I decided to write a song around that. Then I started coming up with the beats and the synthesizer lines and then both melody and words. I wrote that song so fast it was crazy, like, literally 15 minutes. But then I didn't like the bridge and I changed it. I'm glad I did because the bridge actually came out really good at the end." The music video for the song was directed by Ralph Ziman, and included the new 1987 lineup of Jeanette Jurado, Gioia Bruno and Ann Curless recieving heavy rotation on MTV and VH-1.
Tracklist: 01.Faith No More - We Care A Lot (Make Love Not War Mix) (5:04) 02.Faith No More - Anne's Song (4:47) 03.Faith No More - We Care A Lot (LP Version) (4:03) "We Care A Lot" is a song by American rock band from San Francisco, California Faith No More. The lyrics of this song are a sarcastic parody of "the popstar posing that accompanied those [Live Aid style] charitable events" and mentions a range of things about which the band sarcastically claims 'we care a lot', such as the LAPD, the "food that Live Aid bought", the Garbage Pail Kids and even The Transformers. The original version, released in 1985, mentions Madonna and Mr. T. This was altered for social relevance in the 1987 re-release. The song peaked at #53 on the U.K. singles chart in 1988.
Tracklist: 01.Falco Meets Brigette Nielson - Body Next To Body (Dance Mix) (6:17) 02.Falco Meets Brigette Nielson - Body Next To Body (Rock Version) (6:30) 03.Falco Meets Brigette Nielson - Body Next To Body (The Other Version) (6:23) At the end of 1987 Falco announced his return with the single "Body Next To Body."

Released on Sire Records in the U.S. the single failed to chart. "Emotional" did have greater success iternationally where it peaked at #8 (Austria), #11 (Spain), #50 (Germany) and #85 (UK). The single's cover, is a still from the promotional video, which is a homage to a similar backdrop used by Elvis Presley in his 1968 "comeback special."
Tracklist: 01.Ferry Aid - Let It Be (6:30) 02.Ferry Aid - Let It Be (Mega Message Mix) (6:11) Although this single was recorded to help victims of a 1987 tragedy. Today we pray for those affected in Manchester, England. Ferry Aid were a British-American ensemble group, brought together to record the song "Let It Be" in 1987. The single was released following the Zeebrugge Disaster, which had occurred on 6 March 1987 involving the capsizing of the MS Herald of Free Enterprise ferry, which killed 193 passengers and crew. All proceeds from sales of the single were donated to the charity set up in the aftermath of the disaster. The recording was organised by The Sun newspaper, after it had sold cheap tickets for the ferry on that day. "Let It Be" was written by Lennon–McCartney and originally recorded by The Beatles in 1969. Garry Bushell, then with The Sun newspaper, organised the recording of the song by recruiting record producers Stock, Aitken and Waterman. They then put an invitation out to the music industry for artists to contribute their vocals to the song. Although many stars were initially reluctant to join forces with the newspaper, eventually artists such as Boy George, Kate Bush, Gary Moore and Mark Knopfler agreed to take part. Original writer, Paul McCartney also contributed to the song, although his performance (and section in the accompanying video) were recorded independently in his own studios. In fact, it was later revealed that McCartney used his voice of the original recording of the 1970 Beatles track and added it to the Ferry Aid recording. The song was recorded over three days between 14 and 16 March 1987 and the single was released on Monday 23 March 1987. The first artist to record his part was Mark King (who also played bass guitar on the song) on the Saturday morning, while the last was Paul King on Monday evening. In the original Beatles recording George Harrison did the guitar solo but for the purposes of this song - as shown in the video - the solo was divided with Gary Moore first, then Mark Knopfler, then back to Gary Moore with Moore's parts being more 'rock' and Knopfler's being more laid-back. "Let It Be" reached #1 in the UK Singles Chart in its first week on 4 April 1987, and remained at that position for three weeks. It was the 13th best selling single of the year in the UK; it was certified gold for shipping over 500,000 copies. The single was also a number one hit in Norway and Switzerland, and reached the top 10 in several European countries. Artists to have contributed and performed solo spots on the song are as follows: Paul McCartney

"Stone Court" is a non album instrument.
Tracklist: 01.Fleetwood Mac - Big Love (Extended Remix) (6:42) 02.Fleetwood Mac - Big Love (House On The Hill Dub) (3:01) 03.Fleetwood Mac - Big Love (Piano Dub) (6:36) 04.Fleetwood Mac - You And I (Part 2) (2:35) 05.Fleetwood Mac - Big Love (Remix Edit) (3:39) "Big Love" is a song by Fleetwood Mac, that appeared on their 1987 album Tango in the Night. The song was the first single to be released from the album, reaching number five on the U.S. charts, and number nine in the UK. The single was also a hit on the American dance charts, where the song peaked at number seven. A 12-inch version featured an extended dance mix, with added vocals by Stevie Nicks. While the 12-inch version included "You & I, Part II" from the Tango in the Night album, the 7-inch version included an non-album track, "You & I, Part I". A limited edition 12-inch picture disc was released in the UK, as well as a double 7-inch pack, which contained the "Big Love" single, and an exclusive 7-inch featuring "The Chain" as an A-side. "Big Love" was written by Lindsey Buckingham, and was originally going to be part of his third solo album which he began working on in 1985, but the project became a Fleetwood Mac album instead. The song epitomised the stylised production techniques used on the album, with its provocative "oh - ahh" male/female vocal exchange. Though many assumed the female "ahh" to be Stevie Nicks, it was actually Lindsey Buckingham performing both, created by way of his voice being sampled and altered in the studio to mimic that of a woman. The sample was aired several times on Late Night with David Letterman, where Letterman told viewers they were hearing the sounds of CPR. Since Buckingham left Fleetwood Mac in 1987 (shortly after Tango in the Night was released), the band never performed "Big Love" live until his return in 1997. It was in 1993, on his first solo tour, that Buckingham performed a stripped down guitar-only version of the song. In 1997, he performed it in the same style on Fleetwood Mac's live album and video The Dance, as well as also appearing on the second volume of Cameron Crowe's Elizabethtown film soundtrack. Buckingham continues to perform the song on Fleetwood Mac and solo tours. Special Note about this single: First pressings of this 12" had the label missprinted to show that it portrayed having "You and I (Part 1)I", as the B-side. This is incorrect, the single actually contains the album track "You and I (Part 2)". Later editions had this corrected on the label. This problem also exists of the Canadian edition of the single. *As a bonus track I have included "Big Love (Remix Edit)" taken from the US 12" promo Warner Bros. PRO-A-2723.

The video clip for this song, directed by David Fincher, peaked at #2 in MTV's Top Ten chart in December 1987. Allmusic noted that the single was a "good example" of the band's "balancing act" as "the guitar-heavy style of their early work gave way to slick arrangements that pushed electronics to the fore...temper(ing) its rock guitar edge...and Lou Gramm's quasi-operatic vocals...by thick layers of chiming synthesizers and an array of electronic textures."

Tracklist: 01.George Harrison - Got My Mind Set On You (Extended Version) (5:19) 02.George Harrison - Got My Mind Set On You (Single Version) (3:51) 03.George Harrison - Lay His Head (3:51) "Got My Mind Set on You" (also written as "(Got My Mind) Set on You") is a song written and composed by Rudy Clark and originally recorded by James Ray in 1962. In 1987, George Harrison released a cover version of the song on his album Cloud Nine, which he had recorded on his Dark Horse Records label. The first time Harrison heard the song was during a visit to his sister in the United States in 1963–five months before the Beatles first appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show. His sister lived in the countryside of Illinois. While there, Harrison visited record shops and bought a variety of albums. One was James Ray's 1962 album that contained the song "I've Got My Mind Set on You." In January 1987, Harrison began recording the song at his Friar Park home studio, with Jeff Lynne (ELO) producing and playing bass and keyboards, Jim Keltner on drums, Jim Horn on sax, and Ray Cooper on percussion. Of Harrison's three number-one singles in the US, it was the only song not written or composed by Harrison himself. Not only was it the last US No. 1 hit by Harrison, but, as of 2022, his last top 10 hit in the US. When the song hit No. 1, it broke a three-way tie between Harrison, John Lennon, and Ringo Starr, all of whom had two No. 1 hit singles as solo artists (discounting Paul McCartney's work with Wings). It also happened to be the No. 1 single in the US the week immediately preceding the induction of the Beatles into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, making Harrison one of the few inductees to have an active single on the US record charts at the time of induction. Billboard ranked the song as No. 3 for 1988. The single's B-side is "Lay His Head", a remixed version of the unreleased song from Harrison's originally intended Somewhere in England album. The 12-inch version of the single also adds an extended version of "Got My Mind Set on You". In the UK, the single spent four weeks at number two. It was kept off the number 1 spot by T'Pau's "China in Your Hand" becoming the 5th best selling single of 1987.
Tracklist: 01.George Michael - Hard Day (The Shep Pettibone Remix) (6:30) 02.George Michael - Hard Day (Special Remix) (9:03) 03.George Michael - Hard Day (Radio Edit) (4:09) "Hard Day" is a song by English singer George Michael from his debut studio album, Faith (1987).

Tracklist: 01.George Michael - I Want Your Sex (Monogamy Mix) (13:13) 02.George Michael - Hard Day (4:53) "I Want Your Sex" is a song by the English singer and songwriter George Michael. Released as a single on 18 May 1987 (US) and 1 June 1987 (UK), it was the third hit from the soundtrack to Beverly Hills Cop II and the first single from Michael's debut solo album Faith. It peaked at number two in the U.S. and number three in the UK, and was a top five single in many other countries. The single was certified platinum by the RIAA for sales in excess of two million in the United States. It was also the recipient for Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Original Song. The song's radio airplay on the BBC was restricted to post-watershed hours due to concerns that it might promote promiscuity and could be counterproductive to contemporary campaigns about AIDS awareness. Although it was one of Michael's biggest hits, the singer ignored the song following its release; he never performed it after the Faith Tour and although the Rhythm Two version appears on Ladies & Gentlemen: The Best of George Michael, it does not appear on the 2006 retrospective Twenty Five; furthermore, the "Monogamy Mix" does not appear on the 2011 remastered release of Faith. In an interview with Mark Goodier, included in the large-format book released with the 2011 remaster, Michael said that he still likes the second "Rhythm" but not the first, and that he distanced himself from the song because its production sounded too much like Prince; indeed, "Rhythm 1", as well as a few other tracks on the Faith album (such as "Hard Day"), features Michael simulating female vocals by artificially pitching up and altering his own voice, much the same way as Prince was doing at the time with his pseudo-female alter ego Camille. In the interview, Michael admits that he was "deeply enamoured" with Prince, and adds that he thought it was very bad for him to be infatuated with a colleague of his. Rolling Stone editor David Fricke described this song as 'a new bump-and-grind original that sounds more like Prince's stark, sexy "Kiss" than anything in the Wham! catalog'. In 2016, after Michael's death, Andrew Unterberger of Billboard ranked the song number eight on his list of Michael's 15 greatest songs. The music video, directed by Andy Morahan, featured Michael and his then-girlfriend Kathy Jeung to emphasize that he was in a monogamous relationship; at one point, he is shown using lipstick to write the words "explore" and "monogamy" on her back, which is photographed and retouched at the end of the video to reveal the phrase "explore monogamy". A Spanish model was also used for naked scenes in a way that allowed the audience to assume they were the same woman; these shots are interspersed with intentionally blurred footage of George Michael dancing and singing the song. In a 2004 interview with Adam Mattera for UK magazine Attitude, Michael reflected: "It was totally real. Kathy was in love with me but she knew that I was in love with a guy at that point in time. I was still saying I was bisexual...She was the only female that I ever brought into my professional life. I put her in a video. Of course she looked like a beard. It was all such a mess, really. My own confusion and then on top of that what I was prepared to let the public think." The video generated controversy over its sexual themes. In 2002, MTV2's countdown of MTV's Most Controversial Videos Ever to Air on MTV included the video for "I Want Your Sex" at number 3. The original video cut appears on the Twenty Five compilation 2-DVD set.
Tracklist: 01.Gerard McMann - Cry Little Sister (Theme From The Lost Boys) (4:44) 02.Tim Cappello - I Still Believe (4:50) "Cry Little Sister" is a song written by Gerard McMahon (under the pseudonym Gerard McMann) and Michael Mainieri, and performed by McMahon for the soundtrack to the 1987 film The Lost Boys, which peaked at number 15 on the Billboard 200. The original song failed to chart, although it charted in Australia and the United Kingdom in 2003 when the track was remixed. The song was predominantly composed by McMahon, who said that its refrain was "brewing in my head with the choir as a chorus backing me. That all seemed to come within half an hour. [Producer] Mike Mainieri had this hypnotic beat, we refined it together and my melody and chords melted right into it. Then I wrote the lyrics within an hour or two [and] recorded the demo". Despite appearing on the soundtrack to The Lost Boys, the song's lyrics do not specifically reference vampires, as it was composed before McMahon had seen any footage from the film. After hearing the track, director Joel Schumacher commented: "You nailed my theme song to The Lost Boys! I can't believe you wrote this without seeing a frame of film!". McMahon additionally explained: "I always say that if I'd have seen the film first, I would probably not have written 'Cry Little Sister'. I didn't want the song to be specific to the vampire. I wanted it to be about the longing for family from a rejected youth's perspective, which I went through myself and that many of us have felt."

"Don't You Want Me" was one of the biggest crossover singles for the year 1987, reaching top ten on the Billboard pop and R&B charts and becoming a number-one dance club hit.

The single hit number two for four consecutive weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 in May 1987 and spent four weeks at number-one on the Billboard R&B chart. It is the only single between 1985 and 1990 in the United States to have spent four weeks in the runner-up position and not have reached the number one. The single was kept out of the top spot of the Hot 100 by Cutting Crew's "(I Just) Died in Your Arms" and U2's "With or Without You", and would itself keep Club Nouveau's Hot 100 number-one single "Lean on Me" out of the top spot of the R&B chart. It ranked number 16 on Billboard's year-end chart for 1987. The song also reached number-one on the RPM Singles Chart in Canada. In 1988 the song was nominated for two Soul Train Music Awards for Best R&B/Soul or Rap Music Video, and Best R&B/Soul Single, Female. She was also nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance. While listening to a tape of instrumental tracks given to her by producer André Cymone, Watley reflected on a recent sour romantic breakup. Fusing her own feelings of "I'll show you" with the feel of the track, Watley came up with the basic premise of "Looking for a New Love." The released record is the eight-track demo of the song; that way the emotional urgency of Watley's vocal was still intact. One of the song's key phrases became a popular saying: "Hasta la vista, baby." It wound up on innumerable answering machines and was used by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 1991 film Terminator 2: Judgment Day.

Tracklist: 01.Laura Branigan - Shatter Glass (12" Vocal Mix) (7:14) 02.Laura Branigan - Shatter Glass (Vocal LP Version) (3:43) 03.Laura Branigan - Statue In The Rain (Vocal) (4:17) "Shattered Glass" is a song written by Bob Mitchell and Steve Coe which was recorded by Laura Branigan with the Stock/Aitken/Waterman production team to serve as the first single released from Branigan's fifth album, the 1987 releaseTouch. The song had originally been produced by Mitchell and Coe for Scottish singer Ellie Warren in 1980; Warren recalls "all the [radio] stations and media were totally behind ["Shattered Glass"], but the record wasn't serviced properly. When the radio was playing it to death, you couldn't buy it in the shops - a ludicrous situation." "Shattered Glass" was one of two tracks Branigan cut with the Stock/Aitken/Waterman team. Originally the Touch album was to totally be a collaboration with producer David Kershenbaum but after completing her recording with Kershenbaum, Branigan, who had an especial interest in scoring a strong hit single as her previous album release Hold Me had only produced a mild hit in "Spanish Eddie" (#40), made an overnight foray to the UK to record at the PWL Studios in London with Stock/Aitken/Waterman, that team currently enjoying massive chart success with releases by such acts as Rick Astley, Bananarama, Dead or Alive, Jason Donovan and Kylie Minogue. Besides "Shattered Glass", the PWL session produced Branigan's recording of "Whatever I Do (Wherever I Go)" a Stock/Aitken/Watrman original previously recorded (1984) by Hazell Dean. "Shattered Glass" was issued as a single in the US in June of 1987 with "Statue in the Rain", a track recorded for Touch with David Kershenbaum and omitted from the album to accommodate the inclusion of the Stock/Aitken/Waterman tracks, serving as the B-side; the 12" single version of the track was remixed by Pete Hammond. A music video was made to promote "Shattered Glass", featuring Afa Anoa'i, a wrestler known, with his brother, as one of The Wild Samoans. A performance by Branigan on the 9/5/1987 broadcast of American Bandstand gave "Shattered Glass" the distinction of being the final track to be promoted by a guest star on the major network edition of American Bandstand but by the time of Branigan's American Bandstand appearance the failure of "Shattered Glass" as a comeback vehicle for Branigan was evident, the single having stalled at #48 on the Billboard Hot 100 that August. Billboard did afford "Shattered Glass" hit status on its dance charts: #13 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart and #15 on the Hot Dance Singles Sales, and also on the Hot Adult Contemporary chart (#27). "Shattered Glass" was also the last Laura Branigan single to register in several international markets, although it only attained significant chart impact in Switzerland at #26 and Denmark at #6, the last-named being the final evident Top Ten placing by Branigan on a national chart. Bryan Buss of AllMusic would later write that, from an album that contained "so many...successfully evocative cuts...lead single 'Shattered Glass'...stand(s) out; you can hardly hold back from caroling along" - "[Branigan's] big, boomy voice...has never sounded better".

When Jackson walks home, an elderly man (played by Joe Seneca), who is sitting on the steps of his house, tells him to just be himself. Jackson notices a woman, played by model/dancer Tatiana Thumbtzen, walking down the streets alone. Shortly after, Jackson walks out of an alley and stands in front of Thumbtzen while she is walking down the street. However, she ignores him and keeps walking, which prompts the other guys to make fun of him. Jackson shouts at them, which gets the attention of everyone, including Thumbtzen. After walking up to her, Jackson begins singing "The Way You Make Me Feel" to her while also dancing. Uninterested, Thumbtzen walks away. He follows her, having been cheered on by his friends to pursue her. This leads to the man to continue to pursue the woman throughout the neighborhood. The video ends with the man eventually winning the woman over, and embracing her, while a fire hydrant sprays out water. The videoclip features an appearance by his sister La Toya as one of Thumbtzen's friends.

In May 2001, Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA) celebrated its 75th anniversary by naming the Best Australian Songs of all time, as decided by a 100 strong industry panel. “Beds Are Burning” was declared third behind the Easybeats’ “Friday on My Mind” and Daddy Cool’s “Eagle Rock” “Beds Are Burning” is a political song about giving native Australian lands back to the Pintupi, who were among the very last people to come in from the desert. These ‘last contact’ people began moving from the Gibson Desert to settlements and missions in the 1930s. More were forcibly moved during the 1950s and 1960s to the Papunya settlement. In 1981 they left to return to their own country and established the Kintore community which is nestled in the picturesque Kintore Ranges, surrounded by Mulga and Spinifex country. It is now a thriving little community with a population of about 400. (Kintore and the town of Yuendumu are mentioned by name in the lyrics.) Midnight Oil performed the song in front of a world audience of billions (including then Prime Minister John Howard) at the closing ceremony of the 2000 Sydney Olympics. The whole band were dressed in black, with the word “sorry” printed conspicuously on their clothes. This was a reference to the Prime Minister’s refusal to apologize, on behalf of the government of Australia, to the Aboriginal Australians for the way they had been treated over the previous 200 years, particularly in relation to native title and the government-sanctioned removal of Aboriginal children of the Stolen Generations from their families.

Tracklist: 01.New Order - True Faith (Remix) (9:02) 02.New Order - Paradise (Remix) (6:41) 03.New Order - True Dub (10:44) “True Faith” is a song by New Order, co-written and co-produced by the band and Stephen Hague. It was the first New Order single since their debut “Ceremony” to be issued in the UK as two separate 12″ singles. The second 12″ single features two remixes of “True Faith” by Shep Pettibone. The single peaked at number four in the United Kingdom on its original release in 1987. The single also became the first New Order single to chart on the Hot 100 in the United States that same year and their first ever Top 40 hit, peaking at number 32. As is the case for many New Order songs, the words in the title do not appear anywhere in the lyrics. The original lyrics included a verse that read “Now that we’ve grown up together/They’re taking drugs with me”. Hague convinced Sumner to change the latter line to “They’re afraid of what they see” because he was worried that otherwise it would not get played on the radio. When performing the song live, the band have always used the original line. “True Faith” was used in the opening nightclub scene in Mary Harron’s film adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis’s novel American Psycho and in James Bridges’s 1988 film adaptation of Jay McInerney’s novel Bright Lights, Big City. It also appears at the end of the 14th episode of the third season of the American TV series Queer as Folk and in the season finale of the first season of the series The Vampire Diaries. The US and UK 7″ and 12″ singles contain the song “1963” as the b-side, however the Australian 12″ contains a remix of “Paradise” from the album Brotherhood.

Tracklist: 01.Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - Shame (Extended Re-Recorded Version) (6:57) 02.Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - Shame (7" Re-Recorded Version) (3:52) 03.Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - Goddess Of Love (4:28) "Shame" is a song by British band Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark released as the third single taken from their 1986 album, The Pacific Age, although it is a re-recording made after the album's release, presumably in early 1987, and was produced by Rhett Davies (as opposed to the original album version which was produced by Stephen Hague). "Shame" was scheduled for release as a single whilst OMD were still on tour. The band had suggested "Stay" as a possible single from the album, but label Virgin thought "Shame" had more potential. The band relented, although feeling the album version was too slow, and recruited Rhett Davies to give the song more of a polish. The B side Goddess of Love was lifted straight from the album The Pacific Age and was the song which was originally intended to be used for the Pretty in Pink movie soundtrack before the group came up with "If You Leave", which was featured in the movie. The single reached no. 52 on the UK Singles Chart. It has never been included on any of OMD's singles compilation albums, making it unique to this release. The 7" re-recorded version has never had a digital release. A promotional video was made for the single and is included on the DVD of the CD/DVD release Messages: Greatest Hits.

Tracklist: 01.Paul Lekakis - Boom Boom (Let’s Go Back To My Room) (A Phil Harding Remix) (6:41) 02.Paul Lekakis - Boom Boom (Let’s Go Back To My Room) (A Phil Harding Dub Remix) (5:46) A pretty face won’t get you everywhere… but it got you pretty damn far in the ’80s. And it certainly helped gay musician Paul Lekakis, who went from upstate New York waiter, to model and professional party boy in Milan, to international pop star in 1987 with a little bop called “Boom Boom (Let’s Go Back to My Room.)” The song will certainly resonate with those who survived its ’80s dance-floor domination… and anyone who’s attended a Pride party in the past five years. Lekakis, who is HIV-positive, appeared on the cover of Poz magazine. In the article he recalls major record labels wanting to market him as a teen idol in the 1980s, which did not interest the already out young singer. “Boom Boom (Let’s Go Back to My Room)” is the debut single by American singer and model Paul Lekakis. Originally released in 1987 on ZYX Records, then picked up by Polydor Records for a wider release, the song peaked at #43 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the U.S. and at #60 on the UK Singles Chart in England. It fared better in other parts of the world, where the song spent five weeks at #1 on the ARIA Charts in Australia, from April 13 through May 11 of 1987. It also topped music charts in Japan and South Africa, and peaked at #2 in Canada. The song is noteworthy because it is a well-known 1980s dance club track that nonetheless failed to appear on the U.S. Hot Dance Club Play chart upon its initial release. Subsequent remixes have appeared on that chart, however, as well as some of Lekakis’ other dance recordings. The song was popular in the LGBT community and helped to establish his career, both as a singer and as an actor. Several remixes were commissioned for the track including the rare UK only Champion Remix by mixmaster Phil Harding of PWL released on Champion Records a London based major long-running soul, dance and house music label.
Tracklist: 01.Pepsi & Shirlie - All Right Now (U.S. Remix) (6:31) 02.Pepsi & Shirlie - All Right Now (7" Remix Edit) (3:41) 03.Pepsi & Shirlie - All Right Now (Instrumental) (3:59) "All Right Now" is a 1987 single by former Wham! vocalists Pepsi & Shirlie.

Tracklist: 01.Pet Shop Boys - In The Night (7" Edit Version) (3:39) “In the Night” is a song by UK duo Pet Shop Boys, about the subculture known as the Zazous, which appeared in France during the German occupation of France in World War II; concerned with fashion and music, and allied with neither the Nazis and Vichy France nor the French Resistance, they were distrusted by both sides. Neil Tennant, having read about the movement in a book by David Pryce-Jones, asks, in the song, the question of whether this apathy essentially amounted to collaborationism. The song was scheduled to be released as a single in Germany on March 4, 1987 but was withdrawn with only a 7″ promo being issued. The Artur Baker 7″ edit is exclusive to this release and has never appeared on CD to the best of my knowledge. The full Arthur Baker mix appeared on the album “DISCO”.
Tracklist: 01.Pet Shop Boys - It’s A Sin (Phil Harding Latin Vocal Mix) (9:16) 02.Pet Shop Boys - It’s A Sin (Phil Harding Latin Dub Mix) (4:22) 03.Pet Shop Boys - It’s A Sin (Remix) (8:16) 04.Pet Shop Boys - It’s A Sin (Disco Mix) (7:42) 05.Pet Shop Boys - You Know Where You Went Wrong (5:51) "It's a Sin" is a song by English synth-pop duo Pet Shop Boys from their second studio album, Actually (1987). Written by Chris Lowe and Neil Tennant, the song was released on 15 June 1987 as the album's lead single. It became the duo's second number-one single on the UK Singles Chart, spending three weeks atop the chart. Additionally, the single topped the charts in Austria, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland, while reaching number nine on the US Billboard Hot 100. A demo of the track was first cut in 1984 with Bobby Orlando, and the song's form in the demo remained intact to the final version, although the released production is far more dramatic. The dramatic, overblown production style of the song, loaded with synthesizers, orchestra hits and bookended by a non sequitur sample of a NASA countdown, has come to exemplify the most theatrical extremes of the Pet Shop Boys' musical style.[3] It remains a concert staple, being one of only two songs (alongside "West End Girls") that has been played during every Pet Shop Boys tour. The band stated at the time that they had been keen for Stock Aitken Waterman to produce the song, as they were huge fans. Neil has stated that Pete Waterman hated the demo so they turned instead to SAW's remix engineer Phil Harding to remix the song for the US release (which went uncredited on the sleeve). They would work with him again on "I'm Not Scared", the single they wrote for the Patsy Kensit band Eighth Wonder and remixes of "Always on My Mind". Bursting with melodramatic orchestral stabs, a NASA countdown, and huge-sounding, sweeping synths "It's A Sin" secured itself in Gay culture permenantly becoming a Pride Anthem.
Tracklist: 01.Pet Shop Boys - It's A Sin (Remix) (8:15) 02.Pet Shop Boys - You Know Where You Went Wrong (Rough Mix) (6:38) "It's a Sin" is a song recorded by English synthpop duo the Pet Shop Boys which reached number one on the UK Singles Chart for three weeks in 1987, and was their third top ten in the US when it reached number nine on the Billboard Hot 100. In the U.K. a limited edition 12" was released which included a remix by Ian Levine. The b-side "You Know Where You Went Wrong (Rough Mix)" is a track the boys worked on with Shep Pettibone. The inspiration came from Chris Lowe: "He'd been walking through Covent Garden and there were two tramps in this doorway and one of them turned round to the other one and said, 'well, you know where you went wrong'. For the 'It's A Sin' limited 12" release, a 'rough mix' was released that features a speaking part by Helena Springs, who also sings backup vocal. This version has not appeared on any official CD.
Tracklist: 01.Pet Shop Boys - Rent (Extended Mix) (7:07) 02.Pet Shop Boys - Rent (Dub) (6:03) 03.Pet Shop Boys - I Want A Dog (4:57) "Rent" is a song by English synth-pop duo Pet Shop Boys from their second studio album, Actually (1987). It was released as the album's third single on 12 October 1987 worldwide except for North America where it was included on certain editions of "Pet Shop Boys With Dusty Springfield - What Have I Done To Deserve This?", usually as a B-side, but effectively as a double-A-side on one or two U.S. pressings. It peaked at number 8 in the British charts. Producer Stephen Hague remixed the song for single release.
Tracklist: 01.Peter Gabriel - Red Rain (5:35) 02.Peter Gabriel - Ga-Ga (I Go Swimming Instrumental) (4:29) 03.Peter Gabriel - Walk Through The Fire (3:32) "Red Rain" is the first track on Peter Gabriel's 1986 solo album So. In the USA, it reached #3 on Billboard magazine's Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. Stewart Copeland from The Police played the hi-hat for the rain-like background sound; the rest of the drumming was handled by Jerry Marotta. The song is a combination of several inspirations. The lyrics directly reference a recurring dream Gabriel was having where he swam in his pool drinking cold red wine. Another version of the dream had bottles falling from a cliff, and the bottles were in the shape of people. When they were smashed on the ground, the people-shaped bottles had red liquid coming out, and then it began to rain the same red liquid. Earlier in his solo career, Gabriel had an idea for a movie, Mozo. In it, villagers were punished for their sins with a blood red rain. "Red Rain" was to be the theme song. This idea was eventually scrapped, although there was a mention of Mozo in the song "On the Air" in Peter Gabriel (II). "Down The Dolce Vita", "Here Comes The Flood", "Exposure", and "Big Blue Ball" are also reference the Mozo story, as well. According to the sleeve notes from the remastered version of So, it is also a reference to acid rain. Based on one interpretation of some of the lyrics it is also thought to refer to nuclear fallout.
Tracklist: 01.Peter Gabriel - Biko (6:30) 02.Peter Gabriel, Shankar, Little Steven - No More Apartheid (7:11) "Biko" is an anti-apartheid protest song by English rock musician Peter Gabriel. It was released by Charisma Records as a single from Gabriel's eponymous third album in 1980. The song is a musical eulogy, inspired by the death of the black South African anti-apartheid activist Steve Biko in police custody on 12 September 1977. Gabriel wrote the song after hearing of Biko's death on the news. Influenced by Gabriel's growing interest in African musical styles, the song carried a sparse two-tone beat played on Brazilian drum and vocal percussion, in addition to a distorted guitar, and a synthesised bagpipe sound. The lyrics, which included phrases in Xhosa, describe Biko's death and the violence under the apartheid government. The song is book-ended with recordings of songs sung at Biko's funeral: the album version begins and ends with "Senzeni Na?", while the single began instead with "Ngomhla sibuyayo". "Biko" reached No. 38 on the British charts, and was positively received, with critics praising the instrumentation, the lyrics, and Gabriel's vocals. A 2013 commentary called it a "hauntingly powerful" song, while review website AllMusic described it as a "stunning achievement for its time". It was banned in South Africa, where the government saw it as a threat to security. "Biko" was a personal landmark for Gabriel, becoming one of his most popular songs and sparking his involvement in human rights activism. It also had a huge political impact, and along with other contemporary music critical of apartheid, is credited with making resistance to apartheid part of western popular culture. It inspired musical projects such as Sun City, and has been called "arguably the most significant non-South African anti-apartheid protest song". A live version, recorded in July 1987 at the Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, was released as a single later that year, to promote Richard Attenborough's Biko biopic Cry Freedom. The music video consists of clips from the film and Gabriel singing. The song did not appear in the actual film.

Nevil told Songfacts: "He explained it to me: 'Always come from the school of you don't have your first single, and always try to the bitter end to come up with something even better.' So 'Wot's It To Ya?' is written at the end of the record with the idea of you still don't have your first single, so write one more and try to hit it out of the ballpark. It didn't end up being the first single, but that's when and why we did it."

According to Daltrey, the song "Take Me Home" was actually based on a real life experience. During a tour with The Who, Pete Townshend and John Entwistle were required to board one plane while Roger Daltrey and Kenney Jones were required to board another, both eventually reaching London (the final leg of their tour). Townshend and Entwistle left with no problems, but due to a mix up in the plans Kenney Jones boarded the second plane without Roger Daltrey and left for the Berlin transfer alone. During this time, Roger reportedly shouted numerous times to the staff of the airport for them to "Take him home", one of whom a Japanese customs officer he eventually fell in love with and wrote the song about. Kenney Jones reportedly attempted to turn the plane around by talking to the pilot, saying "I'm in The Who, really!" but no one believed him. Pete Townshend would later allude to these events in the lyrics to his 2006 tune "In The Ether"; this move would cause additional friction between them and led to a backstage brawl on the 2007 tour. "Take Me Home" was only released in the US where it peaked at #46 on the US Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart in June 1987. The 12" is actually mixed by Phil Harding, but he is not credited on the record, this info comes from Phil's book).

"Tell It To My Heart" reached Taylor Dayne when Dayne contacted Chappell Music and asked to be sent some demos which had been overlooked, although the song had been recorded in early 1987 by Louisa Florio for a self-titled Canadian album release. Dayne recalled feeling an immediate affinity with the song: "I thought there was something about the hook – it's a happy hook." The track was recorded at Cove City Sound Studios in Glen Cove, Long Island. The track took off so unexpectedly in the fall of 1987 that Taylor was forced to complete her debut album at Cove City Sound in six weeks. Swirsky would also write, along with Arnie Roman, Dayne's follow-up single "Prove Your Love". For almost two months, only the 12-inch record of "Tell It to My Heart" with four mixes was available for purchase. That 12-inch sold 900,000 copies alone. Dayne was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal, Female for her performance on "Tell It to My Heart" in 1988. Producer Ric Wake said in a 1994 interview with Vibe magazine that Tell It To My Heart "really blew people away". Commenting on Taylor Dayne's voice he said "They thought she was, like, black or some kind of ethnic...". "Tell It to My Heart" appeared in the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 the week of 14 November 1987, rising to #39 from #43. Ten weeks later, during the week of January 23, 1988, the single peaked in the number seven spot. The song was on the Hot 100 for 26 weeks. The song was also a top five dance hit in the U.S. reaching #4. In the UK, "Tell It To My Heart" reached #3. It was ranked as the 23rd best-selling single of 1988 in the UK. In 1995, "Tell It to My Heart'" was remixed and re-released to promote Dayne's Greatest Hits package. This version climbed to #23 on the UK Singles Chart.

Pleasure Crew teamed up with Mike Pickering (Hacienda DJ/Quando Quango) to fill the house. "So Good" is a disc designed for movement. It means what you like, but it's a means to move. This is one of those lost 12" single's that many have never heard of, but demands to be given new life. I hope you like it.

The lyrics of the song are meant to be a parody of Hussey's lyrics.

It was originally a 1967 US hit for the American recording artists Tommy James and the Shondells. “I Think We’re Alone Now” was re-popularized when American pop singer Tiffany covered the song for her debut studio album, Tiffany, which was released in 1987 on the MCA Records label. When George Tobin, Tiffany's manager and producer, gave her the cassette of the original version by Tommy James & the Shondells, Tiffany hated the idea of recording a version of her own for her album mostly because she thought the song was neither modern enough nor hip enough. "I Think We're Alone Now" proved to be Tiffany's biggest hit once she did record and release it. Her version of the song spent two weeks at number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart (coincidentally, another Tommy James & the Shondells cover, Billy Idol’s version of “Mony, Mony,” followed it on the top spot) and three weeks at number 1 on the UK Singles Chart. "I Think We're Alone Now" was not the first single from Tiffany's debut album. The first single was "Danny," but radio started picking up "I Think We're Alone Now," another selection on the album. It became a runaway number 1 hit and was the eighteenth highest selling single for 1987 and the thirty-second highest selling single in Australia for 1988. The music video was shot in a shopping mall in Ogden, Utah, which echoed the way her early career had been promoted. Elements of the video were filmed in the now demolished Bull Ring Centre in Birmingham, UK. The video was featured in the 2012 film Ted and the song was also on the soundtrack and appears in its sequel.

Tracklist: 01.Book Of Love - We Three Kings (3:16) 02.Erasure - Silent Night/Erasure Christmas (0:54) 03.Danielle Dax - Blue Christmas (1:35) 04.Honeymoon Suite - I Believe In Father Christmas (3:06) I couldn't really figure out what to post for Christmas this year so I decided to put together a selection of tracks taken from two seperate Warner Brothers Christmas compilations. "Yulesville" (1987) and "Winter Warnerland" (1988). Most of the tracks were exclusive to these records at the time of their release. The selections that I chose are some of my favorites from these two records. I hope that they will become favorites for you too. Merry Christmas! "We Three Kings" is a Christmas carol that was written by John Henry Hopkins, Jr. in 1857.

The song was released as the first single from the band's third album, Everything. It reached the top five of the US singles chart, and also charted in Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. According to songwriter Billy Steinberg, "In Your Room" was written in the same batch of songs as "Eternal Flame". Steinberg recalled, "The Bangles" liked everything from Petula Clark to The Beatles and all the Sixties music they loved. So when we got together to write with Susanna it was right up our alley because of course Tom and I grew up in the sixties and that was what we loved. So we had that in common with Susanna". He added that the song's style was somewhat similar to "Mony Mony", the 1968 hit single by Tommy James and the Shondells. Released in October 1988, "In Your Room" entered the Billboard Hot 100 the following month and peaked at number five in January. It reached number four on the Singles Sales chart, number nine on the Hot 100 Airplay chart, and number five on the Modern Rock chart. The song also peaked at number 11 in New Zealand, number 41 in Australia, and number 35 in the United Kingdom. AllMusic writer Matthew Greenwald praised the band's rhythm section for the song's chorus and bridge sections, and noted that the song's lyrics were ideal for Hoffs' "kittenish sexuality". Rolling Stone writer Jim Freek said "In Your Room" was perhaps the band's best song to be released after their debut album. In the United States and Canada exclusive remixes were released on 12" vinyl. Track B2 actually plays a 7" Instrumental Version, not the 12" Instrumental as stated on labels.

Tracklist: 01.Brother Beyond - The Harder I Try (Extended) (6:07) 02.Brother Beyond - Remember Me (Extended) (6:48) 03.Brother Beyond - The Harder I Try (Instrumental) (3:45) "The Harder I Try" is a single by British boyband Brother Beyond. It was released in 1988 and is considered their breakthrough single. In 1988, top British producers Stock Aitken & Waterman auctioned off their services for the Young Variety Club of Great Britain charity. Label EMI won the auction, and British boyband Brother Beyond was selected by Pete Waterman to be produced by the trio. The group had met Waterman previously and the producer liked the band. Brother Beyond was by then a struggling pop act, with their first four singles only making the lower reaches of the UK top 75 singles chart. EMI saw this as their much-needed breakthrough and agreed with Waterman on producing the group. The resulting song, "The Harder I Try", had a distinctive Motown-esque sound, and sampled the drum intro to The Isley Brothers' "This Old Heart of Mine". When released in July 1988, it became an instant success, peaking at #2 in the UK for two weeks, becoming the band's best-selling single. The song was kept off from the top spot by Yazz's "The Only Way Is Up" in the first week and by Phil Collins' "A Groovy Kind of Love" on the second week. The single topped the Irish charts and was mildly successful when released worldwide. As a result, to the group's success with the song, EMI asked the producers to write and produce another track for the band, resulting in the song "He Ain't No Competition", a song that again featured a Motown sound.

She studied classical piano at New York's Juliard School of Music and has appeared in several Broadway stage productions, most notably, "Les Miserables" and in the London theatre production of "Grease". Gibson released her debut album Out of the Blue in 1987, which spawned several international hits, later being certified triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. One of those singles, "Foolish Beat", made Gibson the youngest female artist to write, produce, and perform a Billboard Hot 100 number-one single. Gibson is the sole songwriter on all of her singles to reach the top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100. She was recognized by ASCAP as Songwriter of the Year, along with Bruce Springsteen, in 1989. After years of writing and producing her own material, a demonstration tape of Gibson's submitted to a radio personality was eventually shared with an executive at Atlantic Records. Based solely on Gibson's original song, "Only in My Dreams", she was signed to a development deal and began a promotional tour of club venues throughout the United States. Gibson spent much of 1986 and the beginning of 1987 building her songwriting catalog, while continuing to play club dates. During her promotional tour, Gibson continued attending classes at Calhoun High School in Merrick, New York, where she later graduated as an honor student. Diane Gibson, Debbie's mother and manager, accompanied her daughter on many of these track dates. "We played dance clubs, straight clubs, and gay clubs," Diane has said. The single "Only in My Dreams" was released in December 1986 and landed in the Billboard Hot 100 chart beginning in May 1987, peaking at number four that September. Atlantic Records and Gibson worked to complete her first album as a result of the good showing by the single. Following the success of "Only In My Dreams", "Shake Your Love" was released as the follow-up single and reached the Billboard top five. The "Shake Your Love" video was choreographed by Paula Abdul and was the first time MTV had visited Gibson on a video shoot. In 1987, while performing at nightclubs throughout the United States, Gibson recorded her debut album, Out of the Blue. Along with producer Fred Zarr, Gibson wrote, recorded, and produced it in four weeks. Four singles from the album reached the top five of the Hot 100 chart: "Only in My Dreams", "Shake Your Love", "Out of the Blue", and the number-one hit "Foolish Beat", followed by "Staying Together", which performed more modestly, reaching number 22. "Foolish Beat" set a record, making Gibson at 16 the youngest artist to write, produce, and perform a Billboard number-one single, as cited in the 1988 Guinness Book of World Records. She remains the youngest female artist to have done so. Out of the Blue became a hit album, and she had success in the UK and southeast Asia, filling stadiums with her Out of the Blue tour. By the end of 1988, Out of the Blue had gone triple platinum.

It reached number 16 in the UK charts (Depeche Mode would fail to make the Top 10 of the UK singles chart throughout the second half of the 1980s), but hit number 2 in West Germany and in South Africa, and was a Top 10 success in several other countries (Sweden, Switzerland, etc.).

The song became a crossover hit in the US, reaching #15 on the Hot 100. The song was released as a single in early 1988. The single was released on vinyl and audio cassette tape. The song humorously describes an encounter with the horror film villain Freddy Krueger and was considered for inclusion in the movie A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master, but the producers of the film decided against its inclusion. New Line Cinema, copyright holders of the A Nightmare on Elm Street film franchise, sued DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince's record label for copyright infringement, forcing the label to destroy a music video produced for the song (though a copy of the video did survive and is available online. Both sides eventually settled out of court, but as a result, vinyl pressings of the album He's the DJ, I'm the Rapper contain a disclaimer sticker that says, "[This song] is not part of the soundtrack...and is not authorized, licensed, or affiliated with the Nightmare on Elm Street films." The song samples Charles Bernstein's musical motif from A Nightmare on Elm Street. The original track as included on the original LP and cassette pressings of the album He's the DJ, I'm the Rapper ran 6:09. However, the entire album could not fit onto compact discs of the time, so for the CD release, many tracks were shortened; the single version "A Nightmare on My Street" was used in place of the original. This version is not simply an edit of the original album cut, as it included different lyrics in certain sections. The version included on DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince's Greatest Hits album is not the original single version. Although it is labeled "Single Edit" and runs the same length, it is simply an edited version of the original recording and does not include the different lyrics recorded for the single.

Fearing that the public were not going to buy a new Donny Osmond record, his label decided to release the single with no indication of who the artist was, and radio stations advertised it as being from a "mystery artist"[1]. It gained in popularity and helped send the song to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 on its 8th week in the Top 40. The song is set to a post-disco beat. Songwriters are Carl Sturken and Evan Rogers. The music video for the song was directed by Michael Bay, becoming the director's first official project.

He reassured people who were not fitting in that they would eventually find their place. Over the years he has been working for AIDS prevention. He has also established the Elton John AIDS Foundation in 1992, which has raised more than $400 million. As well as an annual high-profile Oscar party which also raises money for AIDS prevention. "Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters (Part Two)" is a song by English musician Elton John and songwriter Bernie Taupin from the album Reg Strikes Back. It was released as a 12" single in 1988 only in the United States. Although not a particularly popular song, some critics judged it as a "most intriguing" song or the "brightest moment" of the album. John said: "That's probably my favorite track on the album. It just has a great New York feel". He played both versions of the song sequentially in concerts from the release of "Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters (Part Two)" in 1988 through to 1993. The song is about New York City and is a continuation of the song "Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters" from the 1972 album Honky Château. Although the song follows the same meaning of its predecessor, it has a very different tempo and instrumental arrangement, and is in many ways a more complex song, with a variety of key changes and unusual chords throughout the song. There is also a brief homage to the Beatles' song "Drive My Car" that can be heard during the trumpet solo, where Elton and the backup singers interject "beep beep, beep beep, yeah!".

The song was released by Mute Records as the second single from Erasure's third studio album The Innocents. In the United States, Sire Records released it as the first single. The album version was produced by Stephen Hague and was slightly remixed for its single release (most notably the album version starts cold, while the radio version contains a short synthesizer pattern as an intro). "Chains of Love" became Erasure's sixth consecutive Top 20 hit on the UK singles chart, just missing the Top 10 by peaking at number eleven. In the United States, it became Erasure's mainstream breakthrough by climbing to number twelve on the Billboard Hot 100 and becoming the group's first entry on the Modern Rock Tracks chart. It also hit number four on the U.S. Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. "Chains of Love" remains as Erasure's highest-charting U.S. pop hit. The song, written by Vince Clarke and Andy Bell, is an uptempo dance-oriented synthpop track with Clarke's signature analogue sound and Bell's lyrics about breaking through any restrictions or stereotypes of what love should be. The lyrics allude subtly to Bell's desire for wider acceptance of homosexual couples, his pain evident from the opening lines "How can I explain when there are few words I can choose/How can I explain when words get broken". The chorus is memorable for Bell's use of falsetto. The music video featured Clarke and Bell performing the song while being hoisted through the air by thick, metal chains. The instrumental dub as well as the remix radio edit without intro are exclusivley promotional versions/edits.

The song's music video continued the concept directed by Sophie Muller (seen earlier in the videos for the singles "Beethoven (I Love to Listen To)" and "I Need a Man", and throughout most of the Savage video album).

Written by vocalist Colin Campsie, bassist/keyboardist George McFarlane and record producer Gardner Cole, the song was a top 20 hit single in the United States. Released in the middle of 1988, "Another Lover" peaked at number 13 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in November. In addition, the single peaked at number 13 on the Singles Sales chart, number 12 on the Hot 100 Airplay chart, and number 25 on the Adult Contemporary chart. Due to the success of "Another Lover" in the U.S., Giant Steps joined a wave of British acts at the time, including Breathe, Scarlett and Black and the Escape Club, who became "American pop stars" before being exported "back for re-release in Britain." McFarlane said of the single's UK re-release, "Already, we are noticing a better reaction to the record this time around." He added, "It's getting more air play, and the general vibe is a bit better—all because it was a hit in America." Campsie said "When we started out, this is the sound we went for, we were recording lead vocals, and I was knocking them out in three-quarters of an hour. I'm real proud of that. We try not to be too nit-picky about records. If it's good the first time you sing it, then that's very good. The spontaneity has to be there." AllMusic writer William Cooper described the song as "a catchy piece of dance/pop fluff." The song was featured as the opening track to the 1989 comedy film Loverboy starring Patrick Dempsey.
Tracklist: 01.Gladys Knight & The Pips - Lovin' On Next To Nothin' (Extended Version) (7:30) 02.Gladys Knight & The Pips - Lovin' On Next To Nothin' (Instrumental) (7:31) "Lovin' On Next To Nothing" is the second single taken from the album All Our Love by soul quartet Gladys Knight & The Pips.

Tracklist: 01.Heart - Never (Extended Remix) (5:05) 02.Heart - These Dreams (4:13) 03.Heart - Never (Remix) (4:05) 04.Heart - These Dreams (7" Version) (3:46) "Never" is the name of a song recorded by rock band Heart. It was released as the second single from the band's self-titled 1985 album Heart. The song is an aggressive rock number with an uplifting lyric to a person who has been discouraged by love. Like their previous single "What About Love", the music video for "Never" was placed in heavy rotation on MTV. "Never" became Heart's biggest U.S. hit at the time, peaking at number four on the Billboard Hot 100. It marked the first time that Heart earned two consecutive top-ten hits, and also the first time a Heart album generated two top-ten singles. The songs harmonic chorus highlights not only Ann Wilson's powerhouse vocal talent but also the vocal stamina of sister Nancy, who maintains a soprano harmony throughout the course of the song. "Never" & "Nothin' At All" both have alternate mixes (as featured on their music videos as well as the 7" single), and these mixes had also been pressed onto some early release runs of the "Heart" album, beit on LP, CD or cassette. One may get a copy with both songs in their original mixes; both in their alternate mixes, or only one song in a different mix. Copies with serial No. SL-12410, for example, features the alternate mix for "Never", but the original mix for "Nothin' At All". Whereas the two different versions of "Nothin' At All" greatly differ from one another, the two mixes of "Never" are quite similar. Recently, the original album mix was featured on the "Essentials" Collection. In 1985, Martin Page (who co-wrote several other pop hits, including "We Built This City" and "King of Wishful Thinking") and Bernie Taupin (longtime collaborator of Elton John) wrote the music and lyrics to the song now known as "These Dreams." At the time, Page and Taupin were under contract to Columbia Records and the record company offered the song to Stevie Nicks, who expressed no interest in recording it. Heart had just recently signed with Capitol Records. While the band had previously recorded their own material, they were impressed by "These Dreams" and agreed to use it on their upcoming album. The song marked the first Heart single on which lead vocals were performed by Nancy Wilson instead of Ann Wilson. According to The Billboard Book of Number One Hits by Fred Bronson, when it came time for Nancy Wilson to record her vocal, she was suffering from a cold and her voice sounded somewhat raspy and gravelly. After the song reached its peak of success, producers reportedly wanted Nancy to recreate the gravelly sound on future recordings, asking her, "Can't you just get sick again?" "These Dreams" was released as the third single from Heart's 1985 album Heart. Following two consecutive US top-ten singles, the song elevated the band's success even further, becoming Heart's first single to hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 on March 22, 1986. It also became Heart's first (and, to date, only) number one song in the US Adult Contemporary chart and peaked at number sixty-two in the UK Singles Chart; however, a re-issue released in 1988 reached number eight.

Sadly Peter Slaghuis died in September 1991 at the age of 30, in a car accident.
Tracklist: 01.Holly Knight - Heart Don't Fail Me Now (Extended Remix) (5:33) 02.Holly Knight - Heart Don't Fail Me Now (Edit) (5:08) "Heart Don’t Fail Me Now" was the debut solo single by American songwriter, musician and singer Holly Knight. She was a member of the 1980s pop rock groups Spider and Device, and wrote or co-wrote several hit singles for other artists, such as "Rag Doll", "Obsession", "Love Is a Battlefield", "The Best", "Invincible", "Better Be Good To Me", "The Warrior", and "Change". "Heart Don’t Fail Me Now" was the first single taken from her self titled solo album on Columbia Records.

She has won thirteen ASCAP Awards and three Grammy Awards, and has written hits for some of the most successful artists in music.
Tracklist: 01.Hue And Cry - Labour Of Love (12" Remix) (5:34) 02.Hue And Cry - Labour Of Love (Dub Version) (3:49) 03.Hue And Cry - Widescreen (3:44) pseudo-satisfaction baby! "Labour of Love" was a hit single by Scottish duo/brothers Greg and Pat Kane, better known as Hue and Cry. Included on the album Seduced and Abandoned, it was released as their second single in 1987 after their first hit "I Refuse" had failed to make the UK Top 75. Showcasing a somewhat funky sound that was very different from their later ballad releases, this song remains their biggest hit to date, peaking at #6 on the UK Singles Chart and meriting inclusion on many hits compilations of the 1980s. The song is written from the perspective of a disillusioned working-class Conservative voter of the mid-1980s who has worked hard to believe in Margaret Thatcher's story of a new proud, individualist Britain and who is now realising that there is less "gain" than "pain" in doing so. The band had a lucky break with this single when they were asked to perform it on the BBC music show Top of the Pops at short notice. American band Los Lobos were booked to be on the show that week with their hit "La Bamba" but due to a mix-up with their visa applications, they were unable to perform. Hue and Cry were asked to fill the gap in the show and the exposure that this generated helped propel the single up the UK charts. The b-sdie "Widescreen" is a non album track.

The "Pure Energy" subtitle derives from a sample of Leonard Nimoy's voice from the Star Trek episode "Errand of Mercy". There is also a sample of DeForest Kelley's voice from the episode "I, Mudd". John Leland of Spin magazine called it a "pretty potent dance record". In 2009, VH1 ran a countdown of the 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders of the '80s. Information Society's "What's on Your Mind (Pure Energy)" placed at number 74 on the countdown despite the fact that the group had two other top 40 hits: "Walking Away" (number 9) and "Think" (number 28). The song was a big hit in the US, spending 25 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number three in October 1988. The song was featured in Loverboy and American Psycho. A remixed version was included in American Psycho's soundtrack. In 1989, Pittsburgh radio station WYDD-FM executed an early viral marketing plan by playing this song non-stop in a loop for 25.5 hours — focusing on a repeat of the "Pure Energy" sample from Leonard Nimoy as Star Trek's Mr. Spock. The marketing stunt caused listeners to call emergency services, concerned that some calamity had befallen the DJs and other station employees. Bob Hank, general manager at the time, told reporters he was only trying to draw attention to the station's switch in format and new call letters WNRJ (W-N-R-J = "energy"). "We were just trying to draw a little bit of attention," Hank said. "We never dreamed it would go this far". The song also samples Star Trek in the intro, with the character Dr. McCoy saying "it's worked so far, but we're not out yet."

On its first run on the U.K. charts in October 1987, it stalled at No. 58. It was one of the last songs recorded for the album, yet it would arguably become the band's signature song. This 12" is the 1988 reissue (mainly aimed at Europe and especially the U.K. where the single had previously stalled at No. 58 in 1987) which incorporated new artwork and packaging plus remixes Ben Liebrand.

When the NEA refused her application for a grant because of the content of her work, she and three other similarly affected artists sued; a federal district court declared the so-called "standards of decency" provision unconstitutional in 1992, a decision upheld four years later by the Circuit Court of Appeals.

Due to its limited release and therefore, no promotion, the song was not a huge commercial success, but it did well enough to promote its parent album Kylie from which it was released. "It's No Secret" debuted at number 47 on the New Zealand Singles Chart, where it only peaked for a sole week. In February 1989, the song climbed to number 37 on the US Billboard Hot 100, managing to peak inside the Top 40.

In 1988, Atlantic released Martin's second album, This is Serious, which included "Possessive Love" However, the album and its singles did not sell very well, with "Possessive Love" failing to make a chart impact. "Possessive Love" was written purposely for Martin, at the suggestion to Madonna by Leonard. However the song has also been reputed to have been originally written and demoed by Madonna during the sessions for her 1987 film/soundtrack Who's That Girl but then got scrapped. The original demo sung by Madonna remains unreleased, and in 1988 the track was given to Martin, who recorded the track with Leonard. Martin's version features longtime backup singer Donna DeLory. A year later, Martin sang backing vocals for Madonna's hit 1989 single "Cherish" from her fourth studio album Like a Prayer. In an exclusive interview with Martin by Breathe Cast writer Timothy Yap, one question spoke of the song, stating "You also got a chance to record an original song by Madonna and Patrick Leonard called "Possessive Love" and you did sing backing vocals for Madonna on her "Like a Prayer" album. How did you get to work with Madonna? What was it like working with her? Are you still in contact with her?" Martin replied "I met Pat Leonard when I began the search for a producer for my second album. He's the one who approached Madonna with the idea of writing a song for me and she graciously agreed. Pat called me one day while he was working on her "Like a Prayer" album and asked if I would like to come and sing backgrounds... talk about an "Are you kidding?" moment!! She was impressive, to say the least, very in charge. That was the only time I met her."

Ofra Haza became famous in Europe with the song in 1988, when a remixed version of the song, produced by Izhar Ashdot, reached the Top Ten in various countries and number one in several of these, most notably in West Germany where it topped the charts for nine weeks in the summer of 1988. In the UK the track was a Top 20 hit, peaking at #15 and in the U.S. it reached #15 on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Play chart and #18 on Hot Modern Rock Tracks. British duo Coldcut produced a remix of Eric B. & Rakim's "Paid In Full" which heavily sampled "Im Nin'alu". The single reportedly sold some three million copies worldwide, making it one of the first world music recordings to cross over to mainstream pop chart success. Even though Haza's version of the song shows her own interpretation, and its presentation was modern and popular, it still fits in with the Yemenite tradition that she represented. The original version was included on the 1984 album Yemenite Songs, also known as Fifty Gates of Wisdom. The remixed version was part of her international debut Shaday of 1988. Sadly Ofra Haza died on February 23, 2000, at the age of 42, of AIDS-related pneumonia.

It was the last single before the band split-up, with only Andy McCluskey to carry on working under the OMD banner, and not releasing another record for three years. While not overly successful in the UK (where it barely made the top 50), the song was the band's second most successful chart entry on the US Billboard Hot 100, reaching #16. Stewart Mason, in a positive review for Allmusic, described the song as "dynamite", and wrote: "['Dreaming'] is easily the group's best single since 1983's 'Telegraph'...It's a near-perfect pop song, perhaps the last great single by an '80s synth-pop band." The cover art was designed by Stylorouge, with photography by Andrew Catlin. All the single versions include "Satellite" as a B-side. The other B-side, "Gravity Never Failed", was a bonus track on the CD single. This song was originally titled "Georgia" and dates back to the 1981 Architecture & Morality sessions. However, the band lost their favour with the song and was thus shelved, and the title "Georgia" was given to a new song and featured on the album.

Paul Humphreys sings lead vocals on the track. It became their second US Billboard Hot 100 entry, peaking at number 63, and also made number 34 on the UK Singles Chart. The song was featured in the 1988 movie Arthur 2: On the Rocks and on its soundtrack album; it was also re-released to radio in the US as the follow-up to The Best of OMD track "Dreaming", approximately one month prior to the movie's premiere. The new 1988 remix received renewed airplay on several US contemporary hit stations, it did not re-chart on the Hot 100. The video for "Secret", directed by Andy Morahan, shows various vintage black & white film clips, including footage of the Beatles, interspersed with new black & white footage of Humphreys and a woman processed to look like old home movies; additionally there are colour scenes of Humphreys singing. The theme is that a woman deserts her current love interest (McCluskey) to return to the arms of her true love (Humphreys). McCluskey's character observes the two lovers together and, though despondent, gallantly accepts that his love interest should instead be with Humphreys' character, before walking into the distance along the shore. The clip was filmed at Walton-on-the-Naze, Essex. The New 1988 Remixes were only released in the U,S.

"Straight Up" was the third single released from her debut album Forever Your Girl, after "Knocked Out" and "(It's Just) The Way That You Love Me". While the latter was enjoying success on the R&B charts, radio station KMEL in San Francisco started playing "Straight Up" from the album. The label decided to abandon "(It's Just) The Way That You Love Me" and refocus its attention on "Straight Up". The strategy paid off, as "Straight Up" was followed by three more number-one hits from the same album. In the US, "Straight Up" reached the number-one spot on the Billboard Hot 100 by February 11, 1989, where it stayed for three consecutive weeks. "Straight Up" was one of the most popular R&B and dance-pop singles of the entire year, remaining in the Top 10 for seven weeks, the Top 20 for nine weeks, and the Top 40 for sixteen weeks. The success of "Straight Up" catapulted the "Forever Your Girl" album into the top 20 on the album chart. 2 more number-one hits from the album boost it up further into the top 5 where it lingered before it finally reached the pole position in October after a record-setting 64 weeks on the market.

(5:16) "Always on My Mind" is a song by Johnny Christopher, Mark James, and Wayne Carson, recorded first by Gwen McCrae (as "You Were Always on My Mind") and Brenda Lee and Elvis Presley in 1972. The song has been a crossover hit, charting in both the country and western and pop categories. Willie Nelson peaked at #1 on the Billboard Country charts in 1982. In 1987, the Pet Shop Boys performed a synthpop version of "Always on My Mind" on Love Me Tender, a television special on the ITV network in the UK. Commemorating the tenth anniversary of Elvis Presley's death, the programme featured various popular acts of the time performing cover versions of his hits. The Pet Shop Boys' performance was so well-received that the duo decided to record the song and release it as a single. This version became the UK's Christmas number one single that year. It went on to top the charts for four weeks in total, and reached number four on the US Billboard Hot 100. In November 2004, The Daily Telegraph newspaper placed the version at number two in a list of the fifty greatest cover versions of all time. In October 2014, a public poll compiled by the BBC saw the song voted the all-time best cover version. “Always On My Mind” was released as a non-album single in late 1987. It featured an extended version by Julian Mendelsohn and a more drastic remix by Phil Harding, as well as various edits and a beatless “dub”. Harding’s remix at one point changes key and transforms into a house version, introduced by Neil Tennant’s specially recorded vocal line “You were always in my house.” This version was later used as the basis for a reworked production of the song for the album “Pet Shop Boys - Introspective”. The success of the initial single in late ’87/early ’88 prompted the filming of extra scenes for the song’s last-minute inclusion in the Pet Shop Boys musical art/spoof film “It Couldn’t Happen Here”, dialogue from which is heard at the end of Julian Mendelsohn’s remix. It also prompted a repackaging of the album “Actually” with the “Always On My Mind” promo single as a bundle. The 7: Instrumental ios exclusive to the U.S. 12" promo and has not appeared on CD. The picture sleeve is from the U.S. bungle of "Actually" which included a 12" promo with an exclusive sleeve.
Tracklist: 01.Pet Shop Boys - Domino Dancing (Disco Mix) (7:41) 02.Pet Shop Boys - Domino Dancing (7" Version) (4:17) 03.Pet Shop Boys - Don Juan (Disco Mix) (7:33) 04.Pet Shop Boys - Domino Dancing (Alternative Mix) (4:41) "Domino Dancing" is a song recorded by the British synthpop duo Pet Shop Boys, released as the lead single from their 1988 album, Introspective. It reached number 7 on the UK Singles Chart. Written by Chris Lowe and Neil Tennant, influenced by Latin pop and apparently also by the song "Elle est comme les étoiles" by Desireless, the song was produced by Lewis A. Martinée, the Miami-based producer behind 1980s freestyle groups like Exposé. The song was also recorded at Martinée's studio in Miami, resulting in a considerably large number of studio musicians for a Pet Shop Boys song being featured on it. The duo had achieved three number ones in 1987–1988 and Domino Dancing was expected to continue this success. But the public reception to the duo's new Latin sound proved disappointing. Tennant remembers: "...it entered the charts at number nine and I thought, 'that's that, then - it's all over'. I knew then that our imperial phase of number one hits was over." The single missed the top ten on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at #18, and was the duo's sixth and, to date, last Top 20 pop hit in the USA. (In fact, they have not made the top 60 since Domino Dancing.) The song did reach #5 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart, where the duo have seen more consistent success.
Tracklist: 01.Pet Shop Boys - Domino Dancing (Base Remix) (5:54) 02.Pet Shop Boys - Don Juan (Demo) (4:21) 03.Pet Shop Boys - Domino Dancing (Demo) (4:46) “Domino Dancing” is a song recorded by the British synthpop duo Pet Shop Boys, released as the lead single from their 1988 album, Introspective. The "Base Remix" is the second of two 12" singles released in the UK this version has yet to appear on official CD or digitally.
Tracklist: 01.Pet Shop Boys - Heart (Disco Mix) (8:28) 02.Pet Shop Boys - I Get Excited (You Get Excited Too) (4:54) 03.Pet Shop Boys - Heart (Dance Mix) (6:10) "Heart" is a song by English synth-pop duo Pet Shop Boys from their second studio album, Actually (1987). Written by Chris Lowe and Neil Tennant, "Heart" was the fourth and final single from the duo's second studio album, Actually. A new mix different to the album version was released as a single in March 1988, ascending to the top of the charts to become the duo's fourth—and, to date, last—UK number-one single. It was also successful across Europe. The genesis of the song goes back to the sessions for the duo's first album Please in early 1986 with Shep Pettibone. Originally, the duo had planned to offer it to Hi-NRG singer Hazell Dean or—more notoriously—Madonna, but they ultimately kept it for themselves. The duo's version of the song was intended to be used in the Steven Spielberg-produced film Innerspace, but the dance sequence it was intended for was at the wrong tempo for the song. The song was originally called "Heartbeat", but was changed after Culture Club drummer Jon Moss announced the formation of a group named Heartbeat UK. The lyrics are more traditional than most Pet Shop Boys songs, being a straightforward declaration of love—a characteristic common in many pop songs. On the commentary of the Pet Shop Boys' live video album Cubism, Tennant reveals that the "oh – ah – oh'oh ah" refrain which repeats throughout the song features the vocals of himself, Pavarotti and Wendy Smith (of Prefab Sprout). According to Tennant they were inspired by the song I Like You by Phyllis Nelson, which was produced by Shep Pettibone, who did a remix of Heart. The song was re-recorded for Actually with producer Andy Richards, and was mixed by Julian Mendelsohn. The single remix is an edit of the Richards' version with the use of wah-wah guitar, giving the song more of a 1970s sound. Despite topping the UK chart for three weeks and being a worldwide success, the duo themselves tend to dismiss it, with Lowe stating in 2001: "It just shows that chart positions aren't the be all and end all. 'Heart' isn't in the same league as 'Being Boring'." However, many fans regard the song highly and Pet Shop Boys like it enough to have performed the song on their 1989 tour, the Fundamental world tour in 2006 and 2007 as well as their Pandemonium tour in 2009–2010. When included on the retrospective PopArt: The Hits collection, the album version of the track was used for the UK release rather than the hit single mix, the reason for this is unknown. The single mix was included on the US release.

It was released as the album's fourth and final single on 21 March 1988. The song topped the UK Singles Chart for three weeks in April 1988, becoming the duo's fourth and final chart-topper to date in the United Kingdom. The group had initially written the song for Madonna, though they never asked her to record it, instead keeping it for themselves. Written by Chris Lowe and Neil Tennant, "Heart" was the fourth and final single from the duo's second studio album, Actually.

When included on the retrospective PopArt: The Hits collection, the album version of the track was used for the UK release rather than the hit single mix, the reason for this is unknown. The single mix was included on the US release. Directed by Jack Bond, director of the band's 1987 film It Couldn't Happen Here, the music video for "Heart" is based on the 1922 film Nosferatu. The video opens with Tennant and his bride (played by model Danijela Čolić Prižmić) being driven to a castle with Lowe as his chauffeur. As he goes to bed with his bride, the vampire, played by Ian McKellen, spies them. Later, he seduces the bride and bites her. Finally, Lowe drives Nosferatu and his bride away, leaving Tennant to stare bitterly after them from a castle window. The video was shot in Mokrice Castle, Slovenia, then one of the Yugoslavia republics. "Heart" Remix is the second of two 12″ releases in the UK. The 12" Remix, and Dub Mix were omitted from the Actually Further Listening 1987–1988 (bonus disc) released in 2001 and again in 2018.

The single fared better than the album's lead single, "Domino Dancing", charting three positions higher in the UK Singles Chart, at Number 4. It became the first track that Pet Shop Boys recorded with an orchestra, arranged by Richard Niles. Since its release, it has become a staple of Pet Shop Boys live performances. In the U.S. the single only managed to rech #84 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. "Left To My Own Devices" was a bigger hit in U.S. dance clubs peaking at #8 on the Billboard Dance Chart.

It was kept from the top spot by "Seasons Change" by Expose and "Father Figure" by their fellow British singer George Michael on that chart. The single made it to number 1 on the Irish singles chart, where it was Pet Shop Boys' second number 1 hit in the space of just six weeks. The song's success helped revive Springfield's career and led to a resurgence of interest in her music. Pet Shop Boys and Dusty Springfield performed the song for the 1988 BRIT Awards. Following the duet the Pet Shop Boys wrote and produced the singles "Nothing Has Been Proved" and "In Private" for Springfield, both included on her 1990 album Reputation. The music video was filmed in a music hall, featuring a female chorus line and male members of the pit orchestra. It made significant use of the theater drapes and stage curtains for dramatic effect. Like all of the singles taken from the Actually album, the song also appears on the film It Couldn't Happen Here, where it is briefly played in instrumental form, without vocals. In North America the 12" single included alternate Shep Pettibone remixes with "Rent" and "I Want A Dog" as the b-side tracks.

Despite being intended for a totally different project, the horn arrangement and vocal style complement "Partyman" perfectly. The 12" single also included a "Purple Party Mix", which starts with a string of samples from Prince's earlier hits and contains different lyrics. A track identified as a "music mix" is an instrumental of the "Purple Party Mix". The song's accompanying music video, directed by Albert "Al" Magnoli, again presents Prince's "Gemini" persona dressed in a "half-Joker" costume. Owing to licensing problems, "Partyman", like all of the Batman-era hits, has failed to appear on any Prince compilation album, barring the UK singles promoting The Hits/The B-Sides.

The lyrics, with phrases such as "I love her eyes and her wild, wild hair," "heading for the '90s, living in the wild, wild west," are augmented with gunshot, laser and blaster sound effects. Critics have noted that portions of the song bore a strong similarity to Elvis Costello's "Pump It Up" due to the distinct drum beat and vocal patterns during the verses. The music video is noted for using mirror imaging of actors to give the illusion of disembodied arms and legs. In 1989, Wally Wingert parodied it on the Dr. Demento radio show as "Adam West," in response to the casting of Michael Keaton as the title character for that year's Batman film. I added as bonus tracks the "Artillery Mix" and "Bacapella" which I lifted from the US 12" promo these versions are exclusive to this release. "We Can Run" is a non-lp track.

By early 1989 radio was changing and the genres played were switching to hip hop and R&B music. There was less room for young pop acts such as Tiffany. As a result, "Radio Romance" failed to achieve the success of her previous singles. It made the Top 40 in the US and managed to become a hit in the UK, where it reached #13. In Japan, the song and Tiffany were featured in TV commercials for Meiji "Lucky" chocolate sticks. The music video for "Radio Romance" was one of Tiffany's most surreal. In the video, she plays a waitress in a diner who calls the radio request line often to request a song for her secret crush. The problem is that he is holding hands with her best friend. Later in the video, Tiffany dances with others in a what looks like a dream sequence. As the video progresses, a child appears with a magic wand which furthers the video's fantasy nature. To promote the single in the US, Tiffany performed the song on the Mickey Mouse Club and The Arsenio Hall Show.

But even that seemingly good-time anthem had a dark side. The song’s about nuclear Armageddon. It became a dance (anthem) because of the video.

The track is an anthem for believing in yourself against all odds as Houston asks for "One moment in time/when I'm racing with destiny/Then, in that one moment of time, I will feel eternity". The video for the song does not show Houston performing the song but is a basic collage of clips from previous Olympic ceremonies. It opens with footage of Olympic games from 1924 and 1964 until the lighting of the cauldron from the 1988 games is shown which fades from black and white to color. As the song plays throughout, footage from the games in 1988 and 1984 are shown. When the chorus is sung for the last time, midway through it, scenes of the awarding from 1984 and 1988 are shown. The song video ends with the 1988 Olympic Cauldron blazing. "One Moment in Time" was released by Arista Records in August 1988 as the first single from The 1988 Summer Olympics Album: One Moment in Time, the soundtrack to the Games in Seoul, South Korea. The song debuted at number 57 on the Billboard Hot 100, the issue dated September 10, 1988. Nine weeks later, it peaked at number five on the chart, the issue date of November 12, 1988, becoming Houston's tenth top 10 hit on the Hot 100, and spent 17 weeks on the chart. It also debuted on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs (formerly "Hot Black Singles") at number 78, the issue dated September 17, 1988, and six weeks later reached a peak of 22, her lowest position on the R&B chart at the time. On the issue date of November 5, 1988, the single peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot Adult Contemporary chart, making it her seventh number-one single on the chart, and stayed on the top for two weeks. It ranked number 89 on the Billboard Hot 100 Year-End chart of 1988. Worldwide, it was a big hit. In the United Kingdom, the song entered the UK Singles Chart at number 24, the week ending date of September 24, 1988, and within four weeks of its release reached the top position, a peak it maintained for two weeks, becoming Houston's third UK number-one single.

Tracklist: 01.Band Aid II - Do They Know It's Christmas? (4:26) 02.Band Aid II - Do They Know It's Christmas? (Instrumental) (4:26) "Do They Know It's Christmas?" is a charity song written in 1984 by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure to raise money for the 1983–1985 famine in Ethiopia. It was first recorded by Band Aid, a supergroup assembled by Geldof and Ure consisting of popular British and Irish musical acts. A second version of "Do They Know It's Christmas?" was recorded under the name of Band Aid II in 1989, overseen by the most successful British production team of the late 1980s, Stock Aitken Waterman. Geldof had telephoned Pete Waterman to ask him to produce a new version of the song to aid the ongoing situation in Ethiopia, and within 24 hours the recording session had been arranged at Stock Aitken Waterman's studios on London's South Bank. The recording took place over the weekend of 2 and 3 December, and featured several artists who had already been produced by SAW, including Kylie Minogue, Jason Donovan, Bananarama, Sonia, and Cliff Richard, as well as other artists who had big hits in 1989, such as Lisa Stansfield, Jimmy Somerville, Wet Wet Wet and Bros. Bananarama's Sara Dallin and Keren Woodward became the only artists to appear on both the 1984 and 1989 versions of the record. Siobhan Fahey, who had been part of Bananarama's line-up at the time the first recording of the song was released, had left the group in 1988. The lyrics were rearranged for a more traditional 'verse and chorus' structure, with the opening verse being split in two with a short repeat of the ending chorus being played at the end of both, followed by the "here's to you" section and a final lengthened version of the closing chorus (with commentary by Michael Buerk played over the outro in the music video). Released on 11 December 1989, the Band Aid II version spent three weeks at number one in the UK, becoming the Christmas number one single and the last number one single of the 1980s, and ended the year as the ninth biggest selling single of 1989.

"Witchcraft" was the only single from the album Lullaby that failed to make the Billboard charts. The track samples the classic 60's TV series Bewitched, and also chants the names of the witches/characters from the show..."Enchantra, Endora, Tabitha, Esmerelda, Clara, Hagatha". The song features quirky deadpan rap-style vocals from Susan Ottaviano, Jade Lee, and Lauren Roselli, with a Shakespeare-inspired incanting of ingredients for brewing a love potion. The B-side "Enchantra" is a completely different composition, aside from the fact that it uses the chant of Bewitched character names from "Witchcraft". The cover art of the 12" was done by band members Lauren Roselli and Jade Lee. It consists of a picture of a Play-Doh "queen" (done by Lauren Roselli), with refrigerator magnet lettering of the band's name and song title. Female names included as part of the back cover artwork (Enchantra, Hagatha, Clara, Endora, and Esmeralda) come from the song's chorus. The witches named in the song's chorus are all named as a part of the back cover art except Tabitha. The cover sleeve was featured in the 2011 book Put The Needle On The Record by Matthew Chojnacki, which celebrated the vinyl sleeves of records from the 1980s. During the band's Lullaby Tour in 1989, when performing "Witchcraft", the band donned witches' hats, making it a fan favorite of the band's live shows. "Enchantra" has been used as the intro track while the band takes to the stage during Book of Love's 2013 shows.

Tracklist: 01.Diana Ross - Love Hangover '89 (12" Version) (8:00) 02.Diana Ross - Love Hangover '89 (Urban Remix) (6:51) 03.Diana Ross - Love Hangover '89 (Dance Mix) (7:18) "Love Hangover" was the fourth number one single for Motown singer Diana Ross. Ross originally recorded "Love Hangover" in 1975. It was released in March 1976, and rose to number one on the Billboard Hot 100, Hot Soul Singles and Hot Dance Club Play charts simultaneously. The song was written by Pamela Sawyer and Marilyn McLeod as a disco number. Producer Hal Davis recorded the instrumental track in 1975 thinking it ideal for Marvin Gaye or Diana Ross, who were his two favorite vocalists to work with. He thought Diana would be sexier on it, so he recorded the song with her. Studio musicians included James Gadson on drums, Henry E. Davis (of the band L.T.D.) on bass, and Joe Sample on keyboards. Hal Davis instructed the song's engineer Russ Terrana to install a strobe light so that Ross could be in the "disco" mindset. As the song changed from ballad to uptempo, Ross became more comfortable with the material; she hummed, sang bit parts, laughed, danced around and even imitated Billie Holiday. The carefree and sensual nature of Ross' vocals and the music's direction helped to sell the song, in addition to the background vocals relying heavily on Donna Summer's 1975 hit "Love to Love You Baby". In 1989 Motown re-released the song as "Love Hangover '89" with brand new remixes by PWL team Phil Harding & Ian Curnow. This version peaked at #3 on the Billboard Dance chart on April 8, 1989 after spending nine weeks on the survey.

Tracklist: 01.Duran Duran - Burning The Ground (4:00) 02.Duran Duran - Decadance (Extended Mix) (7:57) 03.Duran Duran - Decadance (3:30) “Burning The Ground” is the 20th single by Duran Duran, released in December 1989. It was created as a stand-alone single to promote the compilation album Decade: Greatest Hits, but didn’t appear on the album itself. However, its music video was included on the band’s audiovisual compilation Greatest, released on 1999 (VHS) and 2003 (DVD). The song is essentially a megamix of Duran Duran’s history, featuring tidbits of all of the band’s hits of the previous ten years. Instrumental elements of “Save A Prayer”, “Hungry Like the Wolf”, “Rio”, “The Reflex” and “The Wild Boys”, including the camera flash sound from “Girls on Film”, form the core of the first part of the song, while the “chorus” is built up of alternating chants of “Girls!” (from “Girls on Film”) and “Boys!” (from “The Wild Boys”). The nonsense syllables from several songs, such as the “noh-noh” bits from “Notorious”, the “bop bop bop” from “Skin Trade” and the “tana nana” and the “fle fle fle fle flex” from “The Reflex”, were also incorporated. Elements from “A View To A Kill”, “Notorious”, “I Don’t Want Your Love” and later singles are gradually woven into the mix. Segments of the song are marked by signature phrases taken from other songs: first, “Can you hear me now?” (“Planet Earth”); later, “I tell you, somebody’s fooling around” (“The Reflex”) and “The rhythm is the power” (“I Don’t Want Your Love”). The title derives from a “Hungry Like the Wolf” lyric. The song also used several sound samples from the film Barbarella, from which the band took their name: “Barbarella?” “Mr. President!” “Your Mission, find Durand Durand!” “Just a minute, I’ll slip something on!” The remix was created by producer John Jones, with assistance from Dee Long and engineer Chris Potter, in an upstairs room at Olympic Studios in Barnes while Duran Duran was downstairs recording new material for the album Liberty, to be released the following year. The b-side was another megamix, this one more instrumental in nature, called “Decadance”. The song uses the “why” bits of “The Reflex”, the “no, no” from “Notorious”, “wild” from “The Wild Boys”, the chorus from “All She Wants Is”, the solo from “Save a Prayer” mixed with “Rio”, and a little bit of “Skin Trade”, as well as some of the suggestive screams from “Hungry Like the Wolf”. The single debuted on the U.S. Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart on February 10, 1990. After spending six weeks on the survey “Burning The Ground” peaked at #23. The single also charted in the U.K. #31 and Italy #17.

(4:23) 02.Duran Duran - The Krush Brothers LSD Edit (3:29) 03.Duran Duran - Notorious (Live) (4:14) "Do You Believe In Shame?" is a song by Duran Duran. Released on 10 April 1989, it was the third and final single from the Big Thing album. The song was dedicated to three of the band's dead friends: record producer Alex Sadkin, artist Andy Warhol and Simon Le Bon's childhood friend David Miles. Le Bon has since said that "Shame" is the first part of a trilogy of songs written as a tribute to Miles, the other songs being "Ordinary World" and "Out of My Mind". The LSD Edit", a previously promo-only edit of Big Thing album tracks "The Edge Of America" and "Lake Shore Driving" finally had its commercial debut, "LSD" presumably an acronym for "Lake Shore Driving". The song was renamed "The Krush Brothers LSD Edit" for release on the "Do You Believe In Shame?" single. "Notorious (Live)", recorded in Rotterdam, which was previously from the promo-only 12" EP Duran Goes Dutch 'Strange Behaviour' Tour.

Plus, there is that unique, sultry purr of a voice. Kitt appeared at many LGBTQ fundraisers and she spent a great deal of her time dedicating herself to working with the Gay Men’s Health Crisis and other HIV/AIDS charities. Her 1989 single Cha-Cha Heels, recorded with Bronski Beat, was thumping away at the dance clubs during the worst years of the plague and the club kids and the older clones fell in love with Kitt. In 1989, Jonathan Hellyer became Bronski Beat's lead singer, and the band extensively toured the U.S. and Europe with back-up vocalist Annie Conway. They achieved one minor hit with the song "Cha Cha Heels", a one-off collaboration sung by American actress and singer Eartha Kitt, which peaked at 32 in the UK. The song was originally written for movie and recording star Divine, who was unable to record the song before his death in 1988.

Tracklist: 01.Elton John - Healing Hands (Extended Re-Mix) (5:05) 02.Elton John - Healing Hands (7" Version) (4:22) 02.Elton John - Dancing In The End Zone (3:52) "Healing Hands" was the final hit single of the 1980s for British pop-star Elton John, written by Elton John and Bernie Taupin and recorded on his million-selling 1989 album Sleeping with the Past. The single was released during the late-summer of 1989, and was a top-twenty hit in the US. It was paired as a double A-side single with Sacrifice", which became Elton's first solo number 1 single in the UK. The song was inspired by the Four Tops song "Reach Out, I'll Be There". Produced by Chris Thomas, it was the first of three singles released from the album, with the follow-ups being "Sacrifice" and "Club at the End of the Street". "Healing Hands" did moderately well as a single in the United States, climbing to #13 on the Billboard Hot 100 and reaching #1 on the Adult Contemporary chart the week of October 21, 1989 (dislodging Madonna's "Cherish" from the #1 position). The song failed to make the UK Top 40 on its initial release, as did the follow-up, "Sacrifice." However, after Steve Wright of BBC Radio One added "Sacrifice" to his station's playlist, "Sacrifice" was re-released in the UK with "Healing Hands" as the flip side. The double A-side record topped the UK chart for five weeks starting June 23, 1990, becoming the first solo #1 UK hit of Elton John's career. Musically, the song is complex, with the verses in the key of B flat, and the chorus in the key of D major. An instrumental solo, in the related minor key of G minor, serves as a bridge.

It was released as the second single from the album on May 9, 1989, by Sire Records. The song was included on the greatest hits compilation albums The Immaculate Collection (1990), and Celebration (2009). "Express Yourself" was the first song that Madonna and producer Stephen Bray collaborated on for Like a Prayer. Written and produced by them, the song was a tribute to American funk and soul band Sly and the Family Stone. The main inspiration behind the song is female empowerment, urging women never to go for second-best and to always express their inner feelings. "Express Yourself" is an upbeat dance-pop song that features instrumentation from brass, hand claps and drum beats, while the chorus is backed by the sound of saxophone and percussion. The lyrics talk about rejecting material pleasures and only accepting the best for oneself; subtexts are employed throughout the song. "Express Yourself" received positive reviews from critics, who applauded the gender equality message of the song and complimented the song for being a hymn to freedom and encouragement to women and all oppressed minorities. The song was also a commercial success, reaching the top of the charts in Canada, Italy and Switzerland and the top five in other nations. It also became Madonna's sixth number-one hit on the European Hot 100 Singles chart. *As a bonus I have added the 7" Remix taken from the US 7" single.

Sire Records released it as the album's lead single on March 3, 1989. Written and produced by Madonna and Patrick Leonard, the track heralded an artistic and personal approach to songwriting for Madonna, who believed that she needed to cater more to her adult audience. Thematically the song speaks about a passionate young girl in love with God, who becomes the only male figure in her life. "Like a Prayer" was acclaimed by critics and was a worldwide success. It was Madonna's seventh number-one single on the United States' Billboard Hot 100, and topped the singles charts in many other countries, including Australia, Canada, Spain, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. Rolling Stone listed "Like a Prayer" among The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. The music video, directed by Mary Lambert, portrays Madonna witnessing a young white woman being killed by a group of white men. While a black man is arrested for the murder, Madonna hides in a church for safety, seeking strength to go forth as a witness. The clip depicts a church and Catholic symbols such as stigmata. It also features the Ku Klux Klan's burning crosses and a dream about kissing a black saint. The Vatican condemned the video, while family and religious groups protested against its broadcast. They boycotted products by soft drink manufacturer Pepsi, who had used the song in their commercial. The company canceled their sponsorship contract with Madonna, but allowed her to retain the fee. In the United States a promotional 12" single was released to club and radio disc jockeys to help promote the song. This promotional 12" contained three exclusive Dub Mixes.

The single also reached number 25 on the pop charts in the U.S., but quickly fell down the chart after radio stations pulled it from their playlists in the wake of the 1989 San Francisco earthquake.
Tracklist: 01.Mavis Staples - Christmas Vacation (3:25) "Christmas Vacation" is the opening song of National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation performed by American rhythm and blues and gospel singer, actress, and civil rights activist Mavis Staples. Though the film didn't have a soundtrack release - and Lindsey Buckingham's de facto Vacation theme "Holiday Road" is nowhere to be heard - there was an original song that kicked off the film and put things in the appropriate spirit. Mavis Stapes' "Christmas Vacation" was written by the husband-and-wife team of Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil, who helped write '60s pop classics like "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" and "On Broadway." Staples was, of course, well-known as a member of the family gospel-soul group The Staple Singers - but 1989 found her restarting her solo career after a decade away. And she did it with a very notable ally: "Christmas Vacation" and that year's album Time Waits for No One was released on the Paisley Park label, owned by '80s megastar Prince - who would write and produce most of that album as well. Despite several popular songs being present in the film, no official soundtrack album was officially released. The same track appears on both sides of this promotional single.
Tracklist: 01.Michael Damian - Cover Of Love (Dance Mix) (5:57) 02.Michael Damian - Cover Of Love (Power Mix) (4:20) 03.Michael Damian - Cover Of Love (Instrumental Mix) (4:11) Michael Damian Weir (born April 26, 1962, San Diego, California) is a long-time American actor, a Billboard #1 recording artist, and a producer. He is known mainly for his role as singer Danny Romalotti on the soap opera The Young and the Restless, which he played from 1980 to 1998. In 1989 Michael released "Cover Of Love", his follow up to the US #1 single "Rock On", which was taken from the soundtrack of the film Dream A Little Dream. "Cover Of Love" was the first single from Damian's third album titled "Where Do We Go From Here". "Cover Of Love" entered the US Billboard hot 100 on July 29, 1989 and remained on the chart for 4 weeks peaking at #31. Damian has released 6 albums and has had 8 Top 40 hits.
Tracklist: 01.Michael Damian - Rock On (7" Extended Dance Mix) (6:30) 02.Michael Damian - Rock On (12" Power Mix) (3:54) 03.Michael Damian - Rock On (Original Dance Mix) (4:56) "Rock On" is a song that was composed and sung by English singer/songwriter David Essex in 1973. In March of 1974, it was a Top 5 song (reaching the #5 position) on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 pop-music chart. It was Essex's only Billboard Top 40 hit. "Rock On" was covered by soap opera star and singer Michael Damian in 1989 and featured in the teen film, Dream a Little Dream, starring Corey Haim and Corey Feldman, among others. Damian's version, which he also released from his independent album Where Do We Go From Here on the Cypress Records label, which A&M Records distributed, was a harder-edged interpretation that employed none of the vocal or instrumental distortion Essex's version had used. It reached the #1 position on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, thus outperforming Essex's original Billboard ranking. However, the song did get to #1 for Essex in '74 on the US Cashbox charts, the same week it was at #11 on the Billboard Charts. This version was ranked #99 on VH1's 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders of the 80s (despite the fact that Damian actually had four Billboard charting singles during the '80s).

Tracklist: 01.New Order - Fine Time (7 Inch Edit) (3:09) 02.New Order - Fine Time (LP Mix) (4:43) 03.New Order - Fine Time (Silk Mix) (4:43) 04.New Order - Fine Time (Silk Mix) (6:19) 05.New Order - Fine Time (Messed Around Mix) (4:37) 06.New Order - Don't Do It (4:29) "Fine Time" is a song by New Order released in 1988 and the first single from their 1989 album Technique. The B-side "Fine Line" is simply the A-side without Bernard Sumner's vocals. On the naming of the track, Stephen Morris said, "my car had been towed away and I had to remind myself to go and pay the fine. I just wrote "Fine Time" on this piece of paper to remind myself to go get it and thought, that's a good title." In the U.K. the single peaked at #11. "Fine Time" was a major club hit in the United States where it reached #2 on the Billboard Dance chart. The song was recorded in the Mediterranean Studios, Ibiza.
Tracklist: 01.New Order - Round & Round (12'' Version) (6:46) 02.New Order - Round & Round (Club Mix) (7:06) 03.New Order - Round & Round (12'' Remix) (6:48) 04.New Order - Best & Marsh (4:30) 16Bit "Round & Round" is a song by the English band New Order from their fifth studio album Technique (1989). The song was written by band members Gillian Gilbert, Peter Hook, Stephen Morris and Bernard Sumner, and the album version was produced entirely by New Order. "Round & Round" was re-recorded for a single release, with Stephen Hague as co-producer. Musically, it is one of the band's most dance-centred songs, with few guitar or bass lines. Like the majority of New Order songs, the song's title is not mentioned in its lyrics. "Round & Round" was selected as the second single from the album by Factory Records' Tony Wilson over the wishes of the band, who wanted to issue "Vanishing Point" instead. The song is about New Order's then-souring relationship with Tony Wilson, the owner of Factory Records, which was the band's label at the time. On the documentary "New Order Story", Bernard Sumner discusses that he did not originally intend the song to be about Tony Wilson and the tension between Wilson and the group, but Sumner admits that growing tension between the two men ultimately was channelled into the song when it was being written. The single's main B-side was an instrumental, "Best & Marsh", which was written as the theme for a Granada TV series of the same name, featuring footballers George Best and Rodney Marsh. The single reached #21 on the UK singles chart. In the United States "Round & Round" became a #1 hit on the Billboard Dance Chart while peaking at #64 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.
Tracklist: 01.New Order - Run 2 (3:37) 02.New Order - Run 2 (Extended Version) (5:22) 03.New Order - MTO (3:44) 04.New Order - MTO (Minus Mix) (5:24) "Run 2" was New Order's third and final single from their 1989 album Technique. The album version was listed as simply "Run". "Run 2" was remixed by Scott Litt from the version on Technique, hence the appendage of "2" to the title. The main difference is that the song has been made more radio-friendly by editing down most of the long instrumental run-out and appending it with a final repeat of the chorus. Litt's mix strips back much of the echo and layers of synthesizers, and in place centres the mix on Sumner's vocal and the bass guitar of Peter Hook. Despite the effort taken to produce a radio single, only 20,000 of the Factory 12" release were ever pressed. 500 7-inch records were also pressed, for promotional use. The single was only released in the UK. John Denver's publishing company filed a lawsuit, alleging that the guitar break in "Run" too closely resembled Denver's "Leaving on a Jet Plane". The case was settled out of court. The song has since been credited to New Order and John Denver. "Run 2" is backed with the B-side titled "MTO". This song recycles the line "You've got love technique" from the group's previous hit single "Fine Time" (this is the only lyric in the track). It is speculated that "MTO" is an acronym for "Mid Tempo One" or "Much Too Old", though it is also quite possible that the initial-ism's usual meaning, "Made to Order", is implied as a self-deprecating joke by the group. An extended mix of "Run 2" with additional beats by Afrika Islam and an alternate 'minus' mix of "MTO" by Mike 'Hitman' Wilson appear as B-sides on the 12" version of the single. Peter Saville, the single's cover designer, claimed to have been inspired by the design of laundry powder packaging. The tiny print on the back of the sleeve says, "Cover by Peter Saville Associates after Bold."
Tracklist: 01.Nick John - We Stand Together (6:38) 02.Nick John - We Stand Together (Instrumental) (5:32) "We Stand Together" is a rousing peak-of-the-night Hi-NRG dance track perfect for kicking off Pride month.

Tracklist: 01.Nine Inch Nails - Down In It (Skin) (3:46) 02.Nine Inch Nails - Down In It (Shred) (6:53) 03.Nine Inch Nails - Down In It (Singe) (7:02) "Down in It" is the debut single by American industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails, released on September 15, 1989. Taken from the band's debut album Pretty Hate Machine, it was the first song ever written by frontman Trent Reznor. The song's outro contains lyrics referencing the nursery rhyme "Rain Rain Go Away". In 2010, Reznor admitted that the song was his attempt to make a rip-off of the Skinny Puppy song "Dig It" from the 1986 album Mind: The Perpetual Intercourse. The first track on the single edition, "Down in It (Skin)", is the mix found on Pretty Hate Machine. The cover art is very similar to Joy Division's first album Unknown Pleasures, with Joy Division always being cited as an influence by Reznor, and Nine Inch Nails later covered the Joy Division song "Dead Souls" on the soundtrack to the 1994 film The Crow. Around the time of the single's release, the band lip-synced a performance of the song on the dance music show Dance Party USA. The footage, originally thought to be lost, was rediscovered in 2012 and went viral after being uploaded to YouTube. Reznor responded to the video on his Twitter account, stating that the band had decided to appear on the show after deciding it was "the most absurd choice [they] could come up with at the time" for a television program on which they would be interested in performing, but were surprised when they were actually booked to appear on the program.

(4:27) When researching songs that I wanted to include for PRIDE Month I wanted to step outside of the box because PRIDE music is not just Disco or Divas there is also many other geres to seek out ibcluding EBM/Industrial music which was quite popular in the mid-late 80's a homoerotic militaristic style of dance music which was a leather scene favorite. It was subversively left wing beneath it's macho surface. Bands like Nitzer Ebb really tapped into this subgenre. "Control I’m Here" was the first single released by British EBM project Nitzer Ebb taken from their second and upcoming studio album "Belief". It reached #100 in the UK Single's Chart, and #14 on the US Billboard Dance chart. the single was co-produced by Post-punk record producer and DJ, Flood (Mark Ellis) known for his work with a-ha, Depeche Mode, Erasure, Nine Inch Nails, U2 and many other bands.

In 1990 a different mix of "Flesh and Blood" appeared in the band's seventh studio album "Dark at the End of the Tunnel". In the United States the song was only released as a 12" promotional single as far as I know the "Extended and Instrumental" versions are vinyl only.

Later in 1989, "Yo Mister" was released as the album's second single, containing various remixes of the track. Basic tracks were recorded on November 11, 1986 at Sunset Sound, Hollywood, CA, USA. Patti LaBelle's lead vocal overdubs were recorded on May 21, 1988 at Paisley Park Studios, Chanhassen, MN, USA. The song is one of LaBelle's biggest R&B hits to date, peaking at number six on the Billboard R&B chart. The song failed to hit the Billboard Hot 100. Prince played all instruments and performed backing vocals on the track. The Frankie Knuckles remixes contained on this US 12" promo are exclusive to this release.

The single was released in 1989 prior to his debut LP "Tatoo It". "You Blow Me Away" was produced and remixed by Shep Pettibone but failed to chart. I addition the song was co-written by the late Tommy Page. I recommend playing this one loud the dub and bonus beats are fierce!
Tracklist: 01.Paul McCartney - Ou Est Le Soleil? (Shep Pettibone Remix) (7:02) 02.Paul McCartney - Ou Est Le Soleil? (Tub Dub Mix) (4:27) 03.Paul McCartney - Ou Est Le Soleil? (Instrumental Mix) (4:25) "Ou est le Soleil" which means "Where Is The Sun" is less a 12” single, and more a 12”, double sided B-side. "Ou est le Soleil" is also the B-side on the late-80’s McCartney single "Figure of Eight". This 12" features remixes by the legendary Shep Pettibone with production by Stephen Lipson and Trevor Horn. The original version of "Ou est le Soleil" can be found on the LP "Flowers In The Dirt". "Ou est le Soleil" peaked at #10 on the US Billboard Hot Dance/Club Play chart on December 21, 1989. You may not be familiar with this track but give it a few listens I am sure you will grow to really enjoy it. This is one of those occasions that really makes me proud of "Burning The Ground" because I love giving new life to tracks that many people are not aware of. Enjoy!
Tracklist: 01.Paula Abdul - Forever Your Girl (12" Version) (6:34) 02.Paula Abdul - Forever Your Girl (Yo! Greg Dub Version) (5:46) 03.Paula Abdul - Forever Your Girl (Saunderson-Grosse House Of Love Mix) (6:35) 04.Paula Abdul - Straight Up (Kevin Saunderson Club Mix) (6:50) 05.Paula Abdul - Next To You (4:23) "Forever Your Girl" is a song by American singer and choreographer Paula Abdul from her 1988 eponymous debut studio album. Written and produced by Oliver Leiber, who also produced her previous single "(It's Just) The Way that You Love Me", the single version was released on February 20, 1989, by Virgin Records. Following the unexpected success of "Straight Up", the song continued Abdul's newfound commercial success, becoming her second chart-topper on the Billboard Hot 100 for two consecutive weeks. "Forever Your Girl" spent two weeks at the top of the US Billboard Hot 100 in May 1989, reached number 28 on the Dance Club Songs chart, and number 11 on the Adult Contemporary chart. The song is about loyalty in a relationship. The female vocalist proclaims that, despite rumors that others may be interested in her, none of those matter because she will remain faithful to the man she loves; she will remain "forever his girl." The single version differs slightly from the album version, as it uses more of the background male vocal featuring the Wild Pair, Bruce DeShazer, and Marvin Gunn. The accompanying music video for the song was directed by David Fincher, and features Abdul acting as a choreographer and director of a children's performance. An 8-year old Elijah Wood appears in the video, playing the kid in the suit. It also parodies Robert Palmer's Addicted to Love video with three girls dressed like the women on the video.
Tracklist: 01.Paula Abdul - Knocked Out (House 12") (7:31) 02.Paula Abdul - Knocked Out (Pettibone 12" Mix) (6:12) 03.Paula Abdul - Knocked Out (Bassey Thang) (5:57) "Knocked Out" is the debut single by American singer Paula Abdul, released on May 4, 1988. It was the first single from her debut album, Forever Your Girl. The song was originally included on a Virgin Records sampler for the launch of Virgin Records America. In spring 1988, it was released as a single to test Abdul's commercial appeal. "Knocked Out" proved to be very successful for a low budget single; it became a top 10 R&B hit. In the UK, "Knocked Out" was released three times. It was Abdul's first single and charted on September 24, 1988, peaking at a lowly #98. Following the success of "Straight Up" and its follow-up, "Forever Your Girl", "Knocked Out" was reissued and peaked at #41 on 19 August 1989. Finally, after the huge success of "Opposites Attract" in 1990, the single was extensively reworked by Shep Pettibone and it entered the UK Top 30, peaking at #21 on July 28, 1990. The Pettibone 12" version of "Knocked Out" which was released in the UK as well as Germany was from the Shut Up and Dance remix album. While this version was not issued as a single in the United States, it did receive significant airplay and just missed the American Top 40, peaking at #41. Tracks A1 and B2 are exclusive to this release.
Tracklist: 01.Pet Shop Boys - It's Alright (Extended Version) (8:46) 02.Pet Shop Boys - One Of The Crowd (3:54) 03.Pet Shop Boys - Your Funny Uncle (2:15) "It's Alright" is the 13th single from Pet Shop Boys and was released in the UK by Parlophone Records on 26 June 1989. It reached number 5 in the UK and, as of February 2009, it is the Pet Shop Boys' 8th best-selling single. The song was originally written and performed by Sterling Void, Chicago Vocalist and lyricist Paris Brightledge and Marshall Jefferson and came to the attention of Pet Shop Boys on a house compilation issued by DJ International Records in 1987. The lyrics list a wide variety of serious political issues in the headlines at the time ("Dictation enforced in Afghanistan, revolution in South Africa taking a stand…"), and then offers the positive message of the title—that on its "timeless wavelength", "music is our life's foundation", it "shall last" and ultimately "succeed all the nations to come".
Tracklist: 01.Pet Shop Boys - It's Alright (4:44) 02.Pet Shop Boys - It's Alright (Extended Dance Mix) (10:30) "It's Alright" is the 13th single from Pet Shop Boys and was released in the UK by Parlophone Records on 26 June 1989. It reached number 5 in the UK and, as of February 2009, it is the Pet Shop Boys' 8th best-selling single.

On the 10" single there are additional lyrics with Neil Tennant speaking: "there's a boy standing by a river, there's a girl lying with her lover, there's a statesman standing at a crossroads, there's a soldier polishing his gun".
Tracklist: 01.Prince - Batdance (The Bat Mix) (7:15) 02.Prince - Batdance (The Bat Mix Radio Edit) (4:09) 03.Prince - Batdance (Vicki Vale Mix) (5:55) 04.Prince - Batdance (Vicki Vale Mix Radio Edit) (4:13) "Batdance" is a song by Prince, from the 1989 Batman soundtrack. Helped by the film's popularity, the song reached number one in the U.S., becoming Prince's fourth number-one single, and first since 1986's "Kiss". "Batdance" was a last-minute replacement for a brooding track titled "Dance with the Devil", which Prince felt was too dark. Incidentally, although "Dance with the Devil" remains unreleased, some of the lyrics appear on the album's liner notes. "Batdance" is almost two songs in one—a chaotic, mechanical dance beat that changes gears into a slinky, funky groove before changing back for the song's conclusion (except on single version in which it goes straight to the mechanical Joker laughter from the end of the movie and Prince saying "Stop"). The track is an amalgam of many musical ideas floating around at the time. Elements from at least seven songs (some unreleased) were incorporated into "Batdance": "200 Balloons", "We Got the Power", "House in Order", "Rave Unto the Joy Fantastic" (later released on the album, Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic), "The Future", and "Electric Chair", as well as the 1966 "Batman Theme" by Neal Hefti. Some of these were mere snippets, and other segments showed up only in remixes of the track. The song was also loaded with dialog samples from the film. The U.S. 12" promo contains two different radio edits that are exclusive to this release.
Tracklist: 01.Prince - Batdance (The Batmix) (7:16) 02.Prince - Batdance (Vicki Vale™ Mix Mix) (5:55) 03.Prince - 200 Balloons (5:07) 16Bit "Batdance" is the ninth and final track on Prince's eleventh album Batman (the motion picture soundtrack to the Tim Burton film Batman), and, two weeks prior to the album's release, Batdance was released as the album's first single, becoming Prince's fourth number one hit, and his first to achieve the feat of topping all 3 American charts since "Kiss" in 1986. The B-side is "200 Balloons", which was recorded for the film and serves as the musical blueprint for the main portion of "Batdance". The song was rejected for the film by Tim Burton and replaced with "Trust". The lyrics of "200 Balloons" reference the scene which it was created for to a greater degree than the replacement track, which is only connected to the scene by the Joker asking "Who do you trust?" after the song ends. Prince did little more than replace the lyrics of "200 Balloons" in its transition into "Batdance". Only musical portions survived the transition, but full lyrics showed up in "The Batmix" (turn your head to the east, I be coming from the west). "200 Balloons" also contains samples of "House in Order" and "Rave Unto the Joy Fantastic"; the latter was another song submitted for inclusion in the movie, but rejected (it was replaced by "Partyman").
Tracklist: 01.Ramones - Pet Sematary (Single Version) (3:30) 02.Ramones - Sheena Is A Punk Rocker (LP Version) (2:43) 03.Ramones - Life Goes On (3:30) "Pet Sematary" is a single by American punk rock band Ramones, from their 1989 album Brain Drain. The song, originally written for the Stephen King 1989 film adaptation of the same name, became one of the Ramones' biggest radio hits and was a staple of their concerts during the 1990s. King is a huge Ramones fan and invited the band to his Bangor, Maine home as they played in New England. During the visit, he handed Dee Dee Ramone a copy of his Pet Sematary novel, and the bassist retreated to the basement. One hour later, Dee Dee returned with the lyrics to "Pet Sematary". Shortly afterwards, drummer Marky Ramone said that Dee Dee's attitude that day showed that he could achieve his plans to leave the band and attempt a career at hip hop music. He likened Dee Dee to King, saying that both wrote things people could relate to because they "penetrated to the curiosity, fears, and insecurities carried around with them and couldn't put into words." Producer Daniel Rey became a co-writer by assisting with the structure of the song, while producer Jean Beauvoir of the Plasmatics helped give the song a more commercial style fit for radio play and film inclusion. As "Pet Sematary" sounded closer to the rock ballads of the period, it was a struggle for Johnny Ramone to play the arpeggios and chords, despite Dee Dee's guidance. The music video for "Pet Sematary" was filmed at the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in the eponymous New York village. Shot on a cold night in January 1989, the video features black and white shots of the Ramones walking through the graveyard, as well as color footage of the band and various others miming to the song alongside an open grave. The video ends with the band playing on a hydraulic platform placed inside the open grave, which is gradually lowered until a group of undertakers covers the grave with a headstone that reads "The Ramones." It was the last video featuring Dee Dee Ramone, who would depart the band and be replaced with C. J. Ramone. The video features cameos by Debbie Harry and Chris Stein of Blondie, as well as members of The Dead Boys. An alternate edit of the video features the aforementioned scenes interspersed with scenes from the film, with the opening footage of the band walking through the graveyard now appearing in color. Reception for the song was not entirely positive, as it was nominated for the now-defunct Razzie Award for Worst Original Song in 1989.

The song was originally released on May 21, 1983 as the band's debut single from their debut studio album Heartland. The song's biggest chart success, in the US, came in 1989, when an updated version titled "Send Me an Angel '89" surpassed the original version from 1983. "Send Me An Angel '89" reached a peak of No. 26 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the summer of 1989 in the US.

Released at the time of seminal new wave/synthpop group Depeche Mode's greatest success, it drew comparisons as being stylistically similar to that group's recordings, featuring extensive use of synthesizers and dance beats, and vocals that were generally deep and gloomy in mood. "Russian Radio" was taken from the band's only album Naive Art.

It was released as a studio bonus track on the band's live album Stompin' at the Savoy. It reached number one on the U.S. R&B chart and twenty-two on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. It has become one of Khan's signature songs. Rufus keyboardist David "Hawk" Wolinski wrote the song around a repeating synthesizer loop backed by a LinnDrum drum machine. Legendary producer Quincy Jones (who had previously worked with Rufus) wanted Wolinski to give "Ain't Nobody" to Michael Jackson for the album that would become the blockbuster, Thriller, but Wolinski had already promised it to producer Russ Titelman, who ultimately had the band record it as a vocal showcase for Khan. The song was also included in the soundtrack of the movie Breakin'. House music pioneer Frankie Knuckles remixed the record for Chaka Khan's Life Is a Dance – The Remix Project (the first-ever double album of outside remixes of a single artist's catalogue) in 1988. This remix is regarded as the first example of what would become Knuckles' (and business partner David Morales') "Def Classic Mix" style.

Cole later gave the song to then-upcoming female group Seduction. The song appeared on Seduction's debut album Nothing Matters Without Love, released in September 1989, retaining the use of Wash's lead vocals and added Seduction's background vocals to the song. In addition, she was only credited for her background vocals and Cole remixed and altered Wash's lead vocals of the song to make her voice less recognizable on the song. "(You're My One and Only) True Love" was released as Seduction's second single in July 1989. The single became an unexpected success when it peaked at number twenty-three on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and number three on the Dance chart. Wash would file a lawsuit against the producers and A&M Records for unauthorized use of her voice. The case reached an out-of-court settlement in December 1990. Martha wash was also uncredited as lead vocalist on tracks from Black Box, and C+C Music Factory. Martha wash did not appear in the song's music video instead Seduction lip-synced to her vocals.

Tracklist: 01.Spirit Of The Forest - Spirit Of The Forest (12" A) (5:16) 02.Spirit Of The Forest - Spirit Of The Forest (12" AA) (5:09) 03.Spirit Of The Forest - Theme To The Spirit Of The Forest (12" Mix) (5:48) The first-ever collaboration of top musical artist to help rescue the Earth's fast disappearing tropical rainforests. "Spirit of the Forest", conceived, written, and produced by the English environmentalist band, Gentlemen Without Weapons, is a heart-wrenching anthem designed to draw international attention to this unparalleled global environmental crisis. Over the course of several recording sessions in Los Angeles, New York, London, Rio, and the Brazilian rainforest itself (with native Caraja Indians), the final version of the song was completed. Among the artists heard on the record are David Gilmour of Pink Floyd, Olivia Newton-John, Belinda Carlisle, Ringo Starr, Thomas Dolby, Mick Fleetwood, Brian Wilson, Kate Pierson of the B-52's, Donna Summer, Taylor Dayne and Joni Mitchell. In addition, Brazilian artists Ivan Lins, Gilberto Gil, and Djavan have also joined in. Although covering just 7% of the world's land surface, the equatorial rainforest belt contains half of all known species of plants and animals, and acts as a global atmospheric regulator. As third world nations, like Brazil, continue to burn, harvest, and plough under the forests for short-term human corporate gain, the Earth faces increasing danger from global greenhouse warming and desertification. Additionally, deforestation drives indigenous peoples from their ancestral homes. Scientists around the world agree that destruction of the rainforest is a planetary catastrophe of the first magnitude. The aim of "Spirit of the Forest" is to alert people everywhere that this is an issue of utmost importance to all life on earth. Every minute, an expanse of rainforest the size of twenty football fields is destroyed. That equals an area the size of the state of New Hampshire every day! The release of "Spirit of the Forest" is designed to raise both the voices and funds in this unprecendented challenge to all life on Earth. The power of music is very strong - the message of this record is very direct:
LET IT BE HEARD.

In a 1989 interview, Nicks gave personal insight as to the meaning of "Rooms on Fire": "Rooms on Fire is about a girl who goes through a life like I have gone through, where she finally accepts the idea that there never will be those other things in her life. She will never be married, she will never have children, she will never do those [that] part of life."

Vocals on Hey Music Lover by Billie Ray Martin and Eric Robinson. US mixes have a couple of extra lines sung by Billie Ray Martin that never made it onto any of the UK mixes (“I just want to sing to you ’cause playing bad is hard to do”).

Tracklist: 01.The Belle Stars - Iko Iko (12" Mix) (4:50) 02.The Belle Stars - Iko Iko (7" Mix) (3:14) 03.The Belle Stars - Iko Iko (Bonus Beats) (3:19) The Belle Stars were an all female British rock band, founded in London in 1980 by former members of the 2 Tone ska revival band, The Bodysnatchers. Iko Iko" is a much-covered New Orleans song that tells of a parade collision between two "tribes" of Mardi Gras Indians. The lyrics are derived from Indian chants and popular catchphrases. The song, under the original title "Jock-A-Mo", was written in 1953 by James "Sugar Boy" Crawford in New Orleans, but has spread so widely that to popular belief, it is commonly assumed to be a much older folk song. The story tells of a "spy boy" or "spy dog" i.e. a lookout for one band of Indians encountering the "flag boy" or guidon carrier for another band. He threatens to set the flag on fire. The Belle Stars version of "Iko Iko" appeared in the opening scene of the 1988 film "Rain Man" starring Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman. Frequently, this version is incorrectly attributed to the Indigo Girls. The song was originally released in 1982 reaching #35 in the UK and then remixed and re-released in 1987 for the Rain Man" soundtrack reaching #7 in Australia and #14 on the US Billboard singles chart in 1989.

The music video won the British Video of the Year at the 1990 Brit Awards. The meaning of "Lullaby" has been speculated by fans, including as a metonymy for addiction or depression, and Smith has offered multiple explanations as to its theme or content, such as childhood nightmares or abuse. Tim Pope, a long-time collaborator of The Cure on many of its music videos, interprets "Lullaby" as an allegory for lead singer Robert Smith's druggy past. In North America, the song was released as the second single from Disintegration instead ("Fascination Street" was the first), but did not match its predecessor's level of success, only reaching number 72 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 23 on the Billboard Modern Rock Chart.

Tracklist: 01.The Normal - T.V.O.D. (2:52) 02.The Normal - Warm Leatherette (3:22) "T.V.O.D."/"Warm Leatherette" is a 1978 single by The Normal a recording artist name used by English music producer Daniel Miller, a film editor at the time, who is best known as the founder of the record label Mute Records. "T.V.O.D."/"Warm Leatherette" was also the first ever release by Mute Records in November, 1978. In 1977, Miller had split up with his girlfriend. A friend suggested that he read a book the friend himself had just finished. The book was Crash (1973) by J.G. Ballard. He felt that Ballard's writing took him five minutes into the future; the novel was to be a major influence in the music he would produce as The Normal. Miller was disillusioned by the fact you needed to learn three chords to be in a punk band, so he decided to purchase a synthesiser. His thinking was that you only needed to learn to press one key on a synthesiser. After buying a Korg 700s synthesiser from Macari's music shop in London, Miller recorded and released a single under the name The Normal. This was "T.V.O.D."/"Warm Leatherette". Both tracks were minimalist electronic songs influenced by the Crash novel. He wanted the sound of the recordings to be visual, like driving along a highway between large buildings then going through a tunnel. The single was recorded in Daniel Miller's house using a TEAC four track tape recorder and the Korg mini700s synthesiser. Songs by The Normal have been covered and performed by many notable artists such as Grace Jones, Sleep Chamber, Chicks on Speed/Hell on a split-7", Giddle and Boyd Rice and in 2006 by Trent Reznor with Jeordie White and Peter Murphy. "Warm Leatherette" was performed live by Duran Duran in November 2007 as part of an electro medley during their 2008 tour, in support of their album Red Carpet Massacre. Both songs were re-issued in the 1980s on 12" single by Mute Records.

The song is both an example and a parody of the dance song genre in which much of the content of the song is given over to dance step instructions. The dance is one of the major audience-participation activities during screenings of the film and performances of the show. It has become a popular song beyond the reaches of the film and show, and is often played at dances and weddings. In 1989 The Rocky Horror Picture Show was released on CD for the first time to coencide with the 15th Anniversary of the films release. “The Time Warp” was given a fresh remix released on a special 12″ maxi-single by Ode Records.

In a 1989 interview on MuchMusic, Bailey described the song as sounding "quite sugary" but added "the message is quite disturbing". He added, "It's about sexual manipulation, affection traded for power, and as with all those sort of power-gain relationships, there's always a sugar coating, so that's why the song is so sugary but the message so bizarre." Speaking on MuchMusic, Currie revealed some of the unused sequences of the video, "The video was funny. I wanted to be the angel of death in it, with a black guitar and wings, but I kept getting stuck up there and screaming to get down, so we had to lose some of those shots. And then they built this enormous 12 foot skirt, I wanted to have these men coming out from under my skirt, and they edited that down to make it a bit more acceptable. I wanted to be the original hell's angel, it didn't quite come off. I always get disappointed by our videos."

British electronic dance and clubbing magazine Mixmag ranked "Generations of Love" number 100 in its "100 Greatest Dance Singles Of All Time" list in 1996, noting that "the gently rolling flamenco guitars and warm Mediterranean vocals saw dance floors turn to slush in its wake."

An uncensored 7-minute short movie named "Generations of Love" was also made by the band. It features Boy George, Talullah and Leigh Bowery.

The short film gives an intriguing snapshot into London’s Soho nightlife during 1990 (still hungover from the late-1980s) by way of capturing the bustling local outdoor streets, and the inside of long-gone amusement arcades and porn cinemas. Talullah, in a wig, plays the role of a straight office-type punter, looking for a quick trick, who ends up pulling a transvestite hooker. They visit a Soho dark porn cinema, where business is dealt. Boy George appears in the film briefly in drag and as himself. The movie has a classic early Andy Warholesque feel to it.

Tracklist: 01.Madonna - New Megamix (12:00) 02.Madonna - Classic Megamix (10:09) Another set of great ON-USound megamixes. This time Madonna gets the megamix treatment. A "Classic Megamix" which has appeared on other bootleg singles sometimes reffered to as "Madonna Super Disco Mix". This megamix is mostly of Madonna's early 80's hits. We also get a "New Megamix" which is comprised of Madge's later 80's offerings and endinding with 1990's "Vogue". This 12" was also released by ON-USound as a CD single however they mastered it straight from vinyl and did not bother to clean it up. The vinyl transfer contained in this post is probably the best you will ever hear these mixes. Enjoy!!
Tracklist: 01.Madonna - Hanky Panky (Bare Bottom 12" Mix) (6:27) 02.Madonna - Hanky Panky (Bare Bones Single Mix) (3:50) 03.Madonna - More (Album Bersion) (4:57) 04.Madonna - Now I'm Following You (Digital Mix) (6:58) "Hanky Panky" is a song by American singer Madonna from her soundtrack album I'm Breathless. It was released on June 12, 1990, by Sire Records as the album's second and final single. Written and produced by Madonna and Patrick Leonard, the song was developed from a line in the parent film, Dick Tracy, talking about a woman who enjoys being spanked by her partner. Performed in a playful, “tongue-in-cheek” style, "Hanky Panky" is a jazz and swing song, keeping with the film’s general theme of the 1920s and 1930s, with a changing bassline and minor to major key-shift in the chorus. It caused some controversy in Ireland because of its innuendo and racy lyrics, with women's groups deeming them as harmful; Madonna later clarified that the lyrics were intended as a joke. The song garnered positive response from music critics, many of them highlighting its lyrical content. It was a commercial success, becoming a top-ten hit in many countries including Australia, Ireland, Italy, the United Kingdom and the United States while topping the chart in Finland. Madonna has performed the song on two of her concert tours: Blond Ambition (1990) and Re-Invention (2004). The song has been covered by several tribute acts and was also performed on the television series Ally McBeal (1997). In 1990, Madonna starred in the film Dick Tracy as Breathless Mahoney—a new role introduced for her—with Warren Beatty, her boyfriend at the time, playing the titular character. After the shooting for Dick Tracy was over, Madonna started working on the soundtrack. She had begun recording three songs written by Stephen Sondheim for the film—"Sooner or Later", "More" and "What Can You Lose"—which would be part of the album, but also had to write and develop new songs comparable in style to her previous releases. She produced the entire album, including the Sondheim songs. "I want people to think of me as a musical comedy actress. That's what this album is about for me. It's a stretch. Not just pop music, but songs that have a different feel to them, a theatrical feel", she said at the time. Madonna recruited producer Patrick Leonard and engineer Bill Bottrell to help her with the project. She and Leonard toiled to create music that would fit the style and production of the film, set in the days of the Untouchables law enforcement. "Hanky Panky" was written and produced by Madonna and Leonard and was released as the second and final single from I'm Breathless on June 12, 1990. The cassette and the 7-inch versions had "More", another song from the album as its B-side, while the 12-inch releases had two remixes of the song by Kevin Gilbert. Cover photograph for the single was done by Patrick Demarchelier with Jeri Heiden designing the sleeves. As a BONUS TRACK I have included the Razormaid Remix Service ...Maid! How Slow Can You Go? #2 Digital Mix of "Now I'm Following You" a song which was also part of the I'm Breathless Soundtrack album. The song was not released as a single but an acetate promo 12" single does exist.
Tracklist: 01.Madonna - Justify My Love (William Orbit Remix) (7:15) 02.Madonna - Justify My Love (4:58) 03.Madonna - Express Yourself (Shep's 'Spressin' Himself Re-Remix) (4:02) "Justify My Love" is a song by American singer Madonna from her first greatest hits compilation album The Immaculate Collection (1990). It was released on November 6, 1990, by Sire Records as the lead single from The Immaculate Collection. The song was written by Lenny Kravitz and Ingrid Chavez, with additional lyrics by Madonna. Chavez was not credited on the song, which led to a lawsuit against Kravitz. Chavez settled out-of-court, the terms of which included a songwriting credit. Madonna's vocals are primarily spoken and whispered, but almost never sung, a style that she later employed on her following studio album Erotica (1992). Musically, "Justify My Love" is a trip hop song, with mid-tempo settings and instrumentation. The lyrics of the song are primarily about sex and romance. "Justify My Love" received mixed reviews from older critics, but was critically appreciated by many contemporary critics, noting it as one of Madonna's best songs to date. The song became Madonna's ninth number one single on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number two in the United Kingdom, while reaching the Top 10 in several countries including Australia, Canada, Finland, New Zealand, Italy and Switzerland. The accompanying music video portrayed Madonna as a woman walking in a hotel hallway, looking distressed and tired from work, until being seduced into having sex with a mysterious man and woman. It caused controversy worldwide, due to its explicit sexual images, and was subsequently banned from MTV and other TV networks. The video, which contained imagery of sadomasochism, voyeurism, and bisexuality, made its US television debut December 3, 1990, on ABC during its late-night news program Nightline. The song was part of the setlist of three of her concert tours, the most recent being The MDNA Tour in 2012. In 2003, Q Magazine ranked "Justify My Love" at number 842 in their list of the "1001 Best Songs Ever".
Tracklist: 01.Madonna - Vogue (12" Version) (8:21) 02.Madonna - Vogue (Bette Davis Dub) (7:24) 03.Madonna - Vogue (Strike-A-Pose Dub) (7:34) "Vogue" is a song by American singer Madonna from her second soundtrack album I'm Breathless (1990). It was released as the first single from the album on March 27, 1990, by Sire Records. Madonna was inspired by vogue dancers and choreographers Jose Gutierez Xtravaganza and Luis Xtravaganza from the Harlem "House Ball" community, the origin of the dance form, and they introduced "Vogueing" to her at the Sound Factory club in New York City. "Vogue" is an upbeat house song which set trends in dance music in the 1990s. However, it also has strong influences of 1970s disco within its composition. "Vogue" also contains a spoken section, in which the singer name-checks various golden-era Hollywood celebrities. Lyrically, the song is about enjoying oneself on the dance floor no matter who one is, and it contains a theme of escapism. Critically, "Vogue" has been met with appreciation ever since its release; reviewers have praised its anthemic nature and listed it as one of the singer's career highlights. Commercially, the song remains one of Madonna's biggest international hits, topping the charts in over 30 countries, including Australia, Canada, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. It became the world's best-selling single of 1990, selling over six million copies. The music video for "Vogue", directed by David Fincher, was shot in black-and-white and takes stylistic inspiration from the 1920s and 1930s. Madonna and her dancers can be seen voguing to different choreographed moves. The video has been ranked as one of the greatest of all time in different critic lists and polls and won three awards at the 1990 MTV Video Music Awards out of a total of nine nominations. Madonna has performed the song on six of her tours, at the 1990 MTV Video Music Awards, and at her performance during the halftime show of Super Bowl XLVI. The song has also been featured on the soundtrack of The Devil Wears Prada, as well as in "The Power of Madonna" episode of the Fox show Glee. Writers and critics have noted the video and the song's influence in bringing an underground subculture into mainstream popular culture through the postmodern nature of her power and influence, as well as the way in which it followed a new trend in which dance music enjoyed widespread popularity.

Tracklist: 01.Public Enemy - 911 Is A Joke (Vocal) (3:19) 02.Public Enemy - 911 Is A Joke (Instrumental) (3:19) 03.Public Enemy - Revolutionary Generation (Vocal) (5:45) 04.Public Enemy - Revolutionary Generation (Instrumental) (5:45) "911 Is a Joke" is a 1990 song by American hip hop group Public Enemy, from their third album, Fear of a Black Planet. The song is solely performed by Flavor Flav. It was released as a single and became a hit in April 1990, reaching number 15 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart, and number one on the Hot Rap Singles chart, becoming their second number-one rap chart hit after "Fight the Power". It also reached number one on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart. This was due largely to its sales, which were unusually high for the level of mainstream airplay it received; Billboard reported that only one of the stations on its Top 40 panel was playing it. The song is about the lack of response to emergency calls in a black neighborhood, but specifically references the poor response by paramedic crews and not the police, which is a common misconception regarding the track; the "911" in the title of the song refers to 9-1-1, the emergency telephone number used in North America. The song was written by Public Enemy member Flavor Flav and producers Keith Shocklee and Eric "Vietnam" Sadler of The Bomb Squad, Public Enemy's production team. Flavor Flav is the featured vocalist. Among the samples used in "911 Is a Joke" is Vincent Price's laughter from "Thriller" by Michael Jackson. Other samples include "Flash Light" by Parliament, "Misunderstood" by Mico Wave, "Think (About It)" by Lyn Collins, "Gottago Gottago!" by Robin Harris, "Devil With the Bust" by Sound Experience, "Feel Like Dancing" by Wilbur "Bad" Bascomb, and "Hit by a Car" and "Singers" by Eddie Murphy. According to law professors Peter DiCola and Kembrew McLeod, if the samples used on "911 Is a Joke" and the other tracks on Fear of a Black Planet had been cleared for copyright under 2010 rates, each copy of the album would have generated a loss of five dollars per album sold, instead of a profit. In 1995, English pop rock band Duran Duran covered "911 Is a Joke" on their Thank You album.

Tracklist: 01.The Human League - Heart Like A Wheel (Extended Mix) (6:52) 02.The Human League - Heart Like A Wheel (LP Version) (4:28) 03.The Human League - Heart Like A Wheel (7" Remix) (4:37) "Heart Like a Wheel" is a song by the British synthpop group The Human League. It is taken from their 1990 album Romantic?. "Heart Like a Wheel" was the first single to be taken from the Human League's sixth studio albumRomantic? It was written by former band member Jo Callis with Eugene Reynolds (of The Rezillos) and features vocals by Philip Oakey, Joanne Catherall and Susan Ann Sulley; with the synthesizer skills of Neil Sutton. It was recorded at Genetic Sound Studios during 1990 and produced by Martin Rushent who was reconciled with the band after an eight-year gap. The song is a return to the overtly political lyrics that the Human League sometimes do, but dressed up to a poppy hook that makes it palatable to the public. Whereas "The Lebanon" of 1984 was the Human League’s view of the Israeli Invasion of Southern Lebanon and subsequent civil war, "Heart Like a Wheel" is supposedly a commentary on U.S. military imperialism. Callis's lyrics are suitably vague using references such as "sell your soul to a holy war". At a time when Jihad was all but unheard of in the West, it went over the heads of most of the song's listeners. 11 years after its release, the events of '9/11, followed by the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, would make the song seem written for that epoch. Although it is rarely something the band dwell on allowing people to read what they want into the lyrics. Released in the UK in August 1990, "Heart Like a Wheel" reached number 29 in the UK and number 32 in the US. A decade after the release, the record is still popular, featuring in a number of third party remixes including some by William Orbit. Also the band frequently play the song live, as it is a very live-friendly track and although not one of their greatest hits, it is still very popular with audiences. Oakey also now often explains the political message to the audiences usually describing it "an anti-war song".
Tracklist: 01.The Popinjays - Please Let Me Go (3:01) 02.The Popinjays - Helicopter People (3:33) 03.The Popinjays - Fine Lines (3:09) "Please Let Me Go" is the fourth single by British indie pop band The Popinjays.

They were released together as a double A-side single on 13 November 1989 through Silvertone Records. "Fools Gold" would go on to appear on certain non-UK versions of their self-titled debut studio album (1989). "Fools Gold" became the band's biggest commercial hit at the time. It was their first single to reach the top ten of the UK Singles Chart and stayed in the top-75 for fourteen weeks, peaking at number eight. "Fools Gold" and "What the World Is Waiting For" were recorded at Sawmills Studios in Cornwall during the late summer of 1989, with additional vocal and guitar parts recorded later at London's Battery Studios, during the autumn of 1989. The tracks had been worked on for four months, and the intention was to put "What the World Is Waiting For" as the A side; however, when Roddy Mckenna, Silvertone's A&R man, heard "Fools Gold" he urged the band to use that as the A-side. The band were not completely convinced, and it was agreed, instead, to release the two tracks as a double A-side. "Fools Gold" has been described as a Madchester and dance-rock song. The dance-oriented song showcased the rhythm section of Mani on bass and Reni on percussion. Ian Brown stated the song was written over "The Funky Drummer" by James Brown, which Reni had to learn the beat from. John Squire also plays guitar with various wah-wah pedal effects. Ian Brown sings the vocals in a whispered delivery. He would also perform with this technique for the track "Something's Burning". The bassline was inspired by "Know How" by Young MC, which is a sample from the Shaft theme song, performed by Isaac Hayes. The lyrics reference Nancy Sinatra's "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'" and Marquis de Sade. The verses were inspired by John Huston's 1948 film adaptation of The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. The single was released in 1989 and entered the UK top ten. It was promoted with a music video, showing The Stone Roses performing outdoors and walking across the volcanic landscape of Lanzarote, Canary Islands. The cover art was a painting by John Squire, "Double Dorsal Dopplegänger", which was later exhibited at Squire's 2004 art exhibition. In the United States the single reached #27 on the Billboard Dance chart and #5 on the Nodern Ruck chart.

Boy George wrote "Bow Down Mister" shortly after taking a trip to India. George was intrigued that the song was perceived as radical to the public, as this was not his intention; however, he went on to explain, "That is unless you consider a song that encourages love instead of hate as being radical. I am continually amazed at how, with all of the knowledge we have as humans, we continue to be so small-minded."

Record sales began to decrease in the UK during the latter half of the 1980s, as did critical support, but the group remained popular. Concurrently, they reached their US peak and had a series of hits, the most notable being 1986's "If You Leave", written for the film Pretty in Pink.

[She's] absolutely the sort of woman you'd fall in love with on first sight and absolutely the sort of person that you desperately shouldn't go anywhere near. The music video for "Pandora's Box" is in black and white and features Louise Brooks and singer Andy McCluskey. According to the video intro, all of the scenes of Brooks in the video are from the original 1929 film.

Neil Tennant states that "Jealousy" is the first proper song ever composed by the duo. Chris Lowe composed the melody at the piano in his parents' home and, as he felt it should be a ballad, asked Tennant to write an intense-sounding lyric. Tennant complied by writing a lyric about the simplest form of jealousy: infidelity suspicions aroused by someone's indifferent or disrespectful attitudes towards another person's feelings (such as making his/her partner wait all night for a phone call which never comes). The song was then left off three albums because the duo were waiting for legendary film composer Ennio Morricone to agree to score the orchestral arrangement for the song. Morricone's answer never came, and Harold Faltermeyer ended up doing the arrangement for the song's release on Behaviour. The album version, coming at the end of Behaviour, closed off the album with a sampler-based orchestral outro. The single version is slightly remixed, and uses a real orchestra instead during the outro. The extended version of the single version lengthens the outro while adding an orchestral intro as well; in addition, Neil Tennant recites a quote from William Shakespeare's Othello (Act III, Scene III) over both sequences: Not poppy, nor mandragora,
Nor all the drowsy syrups of the world,
Shall ever medicine thee to that sweet sleep
Which thou owedst yesterday. The B-side "Losing My Mind", taken from the Stephen Sondheim musical Follies, was based on a demo originally recorded as a proposal for the Liza Minnelli album Results. Its release here follows the releases of Minnelli's version on both Results and as the lead single from the album. As with the A-side, "Losing My Mind" was released in an extended mix (the "Disco mix") on the 12-inch single which was recorded in 1988-89.

The band noted that "one song is about rock stars so to have a U2 song with it serves as a further comment."

The mix includes some the biggest hits from the boys from Crawley, West Sussex. The Cure are an English alternative rock band formed in Crawley, West Sussex in 1976. The band has experienced several line-up changes, with frontman, vocalist, guitarist and principal songwriter Robert Smith being the only constant member. The Cure first began releasing music in the late 1970s with its debut album Three Imaginary Boys (1979); this, along with several early singles, placed the band as part of the post-punk and New Wave movements that had sprung up in the wake of the punk rock revolution in the United Kingdom. During the early 1980s, the band's increasingly dark and tormented music helped form the gothic rock genre. After the release of Pornography (1982), the band's future was uncertain and Smith was keen to move past the gloomy reputation his band had acquired. With the 1982 single "Let's Go to Bed" Smith began to place a pop sensibility into the band's music (as well as a unique stage look). The Cure's popularity increased as the decade wore on, especially in the United States where the songs "Just Like Heaven", "Lovesong" and "Friday I'm in Love" entered the Billboard Hot 100 chart. By the start of the 1990s, The Cure were one of the most popular alternative rock bands in the world. The band is estimated to have sold 27 million albums as of 2004.

(1988) and "Out of My Mind" (1997). "Ordinary World" is one of two Cuccurullo-era songs ("Come Undone" being the other) which were played when Duran Duran did their reunion tour, both Andy Taylor and Roger Taylor insisting on playing it. Cuccurullo was brought in to teach Andy Taylor how to play it. It has remained in the set list ever since. The "Acoustic Version" was more correctly the "Acoustic Mix" and was created using the studio guitar & vocal tracks and adding specially arranged string orchestration.

There's no morality involved, I'm not saying it should or shouldn't happen." The music has a convergence of various pop and dance styles, summed up by bassist Alex James as "Disco drums, nasty guitars and Duran Duran bass." Drummer Dave Rowntree admitted that he is not playing on the track, being replaced by a drum machine he programmed. He said it was his favourite song on Blur: The Best Of (2000) because he "isn't really in it. It's cool not being in your own song." The vocals were recorded with a demo featuring only the keyboards. This song is written in the key of G minor. Pet Shop Boys, provided a remix of the track for the single release. The accompanying music video for "Girls & Boys" was directed by English singer, songwriter, musician and music video director Kevin Godley.

Tracklist: 01.Prince - Purple Medley (Edit) (3:11) 02.Prince - Purple Medley (11:00) "Purple Medley" was a stand-alone single, released in March 1995 to coincide with Prince's European 'Ultimate Live Experience' tour. It was simultaneously released with The Sacrifice Of Victor and The Undertaker home videos. The track is a mix of many hits and well-known songs from Prince's career. Some of the pieces of music are samples, while others are re-recorded for the mix. Some of the additional instrumentation is credited to The New Power Generation. The "Purple Medley" consists of snippets from the songs: "Batdance", "When Doves Cry", "Kiss", "Erotic City", "Darling Nikki", "1999", "Baby I'm a Star", "Diamonds and Pearls", "Purple Rain" and "Let's Go Crazy" and fades for the edit.

Tracklist: 01.David Bowie - Hallo Spaceboy (12" Remix) (6:42) 02.David Bowie - Hallo Spaceboy (7" Remix) (4:25) 03.David Bowie - Hallo Spaceboy (Lost In Space Mix) (6:32) 04.David Bowie - Hallo Spaceboy (Double Click Mix) (7:46) "Hallo Spaceboy" is a song by David Bowie from his 1995 album Outside, and the third and final single from the album. The track was re-recorded in 1996 and issued as a remix featuring Pet Shop Boys as guest artists. Bowie and Brian Eno co-wrote the original album version of the song. In late December 1995, Bowie was intending "Hallo Spaceboy" to be his next single after "Strangers When We Meet", and recorded a video for the song at a concert in Birmingham. The song "Hallo Spaceboy" was performed twice at the venue, once as part of the regular set and once as the last encore, with that final performance intended to be the official music video for the song. Two live songs from the set, "Moonage Daydream" and "Under Pressure", were used as b-sides to the single release as well. However, the Pet Shop Boys were approached to remix the song as well, and their remix was used as the official single version instead. Neil Tennant explained that since the original song had only a single verse, Lowe suggested using lyrical fragments from Bowie's 1969 song "Space Oddity" to create a second verse. Bowie initially expressed reservation about the additions when Tennant initially told him during a telephone conversation, but later agreed that they worked well. Tennant told NME in a 1997 interview that he and Lowe, working alongside Bowie, had completed what Tennant called the "Major Tom trilogy", in reference to a fictional character who first appeared in Space Oddity and who had later recurred in Bowie's 1980 song "Ashes to Ashes". Tennant explained, "I said to David Bowie, 'It's like Major Tom is in one of those Russian spaceships they can’t afford to bring down,' and he [Bowie] said, 'Oh wow, is that where he is?'" The final official music video for "Hallo Spaceboy" was directed by David Mallet, mixing shots of both Bowie and the Pet Shop Boys into a rapid-fire montage of Cold War era retro-footage of science fiction film clips, atomic bomb testing footage, and television advertising clips. The remixes by Dave Ball (known as the instrumentalist of Soft Cell) and Ingo Vauk are based on the Pet Shop Boys Remix, but only Double Click Mix uses Neil Tennant's vocals.

The song was released for a promotional use only, and was not commercially available. "Love Bites" has not appeared on any Grace Jones compilation. Additionaly there are no producer or renix credits listed on the sleeve or labels.
Tracklist: 01.Aqua - Barbie Girl (Spike's Plastic Mix) (8:45) 02.Aqua - Barbie Girl (Radio Edit) (3:15) 03.Aqua - Barbie Girl (Spike's Anatomically Correct Dub) (7:57) 04.Aqua - Barbie Girl (Extended Version) (5:14) "Barbie Girl" is a song by Danish dance-pop group Aqua. It was released in April 1997 as the third single from the group's debut studio album, Aquarium (1997). The song was written by band members Søren Rasted, Claus Norreen, René Dif, and Lene Nystrøm, and was produced by the former two alongside Johnny Jam and Delgado. It was written after Rasted saw an exhibit on kitsch culture in Denmark that featured Barbie dolls. The song topped the charts worldwide, particularly in European countries such as the United Kingdom, where it was a number-one hit for four weeks and remains one of the best-selling singles of all time. It also reached number two in the group's homeland and peaked at number seven on the US Billboard Hot 100, where it became Aqua's only top-ten hit until "Barbie World" (2023). It is Aqua's most popular work and was also performed as the interval act in the Eurovision Song Contest 2001. It also became the subject of the controversial lawsuit Mattel, Inc. v. MCA Records, Inc. The lyrics of the song are about Barbie and Ken, the dolls made by Mattel. Both the song and its music video feature Lene Nystrøm as Barbie and René Dif as Ken. As such, the lyrics drew the ire of Barbie's corporate owners, and a lawsuit was filed by Mattel. A footnote on the back of the Aquarium CD case precisely stated that "The song 'Barbie Girl' is a social comment and was not created or approved by the makers of the doll." "Barbie Girl" has sold more than eight million copies worldwide. It went on becoming a huge hit on several continents, remaining the most successful song by the band. It reached number one in more than 10 countries. In Europe, the single peaked at the top position in Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Scotland, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, as well as on the Eurochart Hot 100. In the band's native Denmark, the song debuted and peaked at number two. In the United Kingdom, it debuted on the UK Singles Chart at number two and reached number one the next week, on 26 October 1997. It stayed at that position for four weeks and has sold 1.84 million copies in the United Kingdom as of April 2017, making it the thirteenth best-selling single in the UK. Outside Europe, "Barbie Girl" peaked at number-one in Australia and New Zealand, number four in Canada and number seven on the US Billboard Hot 100. On the latter, it debuted at that position. It sold 82,000 copies in its first week and debuted at number five on the Billboard Hot Singles Sales chart. In September 1997, six months after the release of the song by Aqua, Mattel, the manufacturer of the Barbie doll, sued MCA Records, Aqua's North American record label. Mattel claimed that "Barbie Girl" violated their trademark and turned her into a sex object, referring to her as a "blonde bimbo". It alleged that the song infringed its copyrights and trademarks on the Barbie doll and that the song's lyrics had ruined the longtime popularity and reputation of their trademark and impinged on their marketing plan. Aqua and MCA Records claimed that Mattel injected their own meanings into the song's lyrics. They contested Mattel's claims and countersued for defamation after Mattel had likened MCA to a bank robber. The lawsuit filed by Mattel was dismissed by the lower courts, and this dismissal was upheld, though Mattel took their case up to the Supreme Court of the United States, but that appeal was later rejected. In 2009, Mattel released a series of advertisements and a promotional music video of the song, with modified lyrics, as part of a new marketing strategy brought in to revive sales. Despite this, the Mattel-produced film Barbie released in 2023 does not feature the original song, as stated by Ulrich Møller-Jørgensen, who manages lead singer Lene Nystrøm. "Barbie World", a remake of the song by Nicki Minaj, Ice Spice and Aqua, was later announced to be featured in the film and on the film's soundtrack.
Tracklist: 01.Olivia Newton-John - Hopelessly Devoted To You (Circuit Mix) (10:11) 02.Olivia Newton-John - Hopelessly Devoted To You (Club Mix) (5:36) 16Bit "Hopelessly Devoted to You" is a song recorded by English-born Australian singer, songwriter and actress Olivia Newton-John for Grease: The Original Soundtrack from the Motion Picture (1978).

The song received an Oscar nomination as Best Original Song at the 51st Academy Awards. In 1997 American electronic music producer, DJ and remixer Victor Calderone was commissioned to remix the track as promotion for the 20th Anniversary Theatrical re-release of "Grease". However the remixes were never officially released and remain a sought after ONJ collectible. In August 2022 after Olivia Newton-John's passing the song charted once again reching #5 on the US Billboard Digital Song sales Chart.
Tracklist: 01.George Michael - Outside (Hex Hector 12" Vocal Mix) (8:48) 02.George Michael - Outside (Sharp "Unlocked" Remix) (8:28) 03.George Michael - Outside (Razor-n-Guido Orange 'e' Dub) (9:56) 04.George Michael - Outside (Album Version) (4:43) After George Michael was outed by the media, he returned to music with “Outside”, satirising his arrest for lewd conduct in an L.A. public restroom,
and sending a statement to anybody who thought he might retreat back into the closet. Its video was set in a men’s bathroom complete with disco ball and light-up floor, with Michael dressed as an LAPD police officer. "Outside" is a song by English singer-songwriter George Michael, released on 19 October 1998 as the lead single from his first greatest hits album, Ladies & Gentlemen: The Best of George Michael (1998). It was released through Epic Records and reached number two on the UK Singles Chart, becoming Michael's most recent UK top-three hit. In Greece, Hungary, and Spain, the song peaked at number one. The song was Michael's first single since his arrest for engaging in a lewd act six months earlier by an undercover police officer in the public lavatoryl of the Will Rogers Memorial Park in Beverly Hills, California – an incident that prompted him to declare his homosexuality, which had been rumoured for some years but never publicly confirmed. Michael disparaged the incident in the lyrics, claiming he wanted an alfresco sex life because he was bored with lovemaking behind closed doors. Reference to the Beverly Hills affair came with the line "I'd service the community, but I already have, you see" (he was sentenced to 80 hours of community service for the offense) and direct samples of radio reports of his arrest. In a 2004 interview with Adam Mattera for UK magazine Attitude, Michael reflected: "I felt that lightening the stigma around cruising was the most immediately beneficial thing I could do. I know for a fact that when I was 16, 17, when I started cruising, that watching the Outside video would have taken some of the weight off my shoulders." The song was recorded at Sarm West in London with a string section and arrangement by Andrew Skeet. "Outside" peaked at number one in Greece, Hungary, and Spain. In addition, it reached number two in the United Kingdom, number three in Italy, number four in Denmark, number five in Iceland, number seven in Ireland, and number eight in Finland. On the Eurochart Hot 100, "Outside" reached number three in November 1998. Outside Europe, the song reached number three on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart, number 11 in New Zealand, and number 13 in Australia. **This 12" Promo contains vinyl only U.S. remixes.

The song became a worldwide pop hit, her first number-one single in the United States and Canada. The single was first released in Australia as "I Love You, I Honestly Love You", as per its chorus.

This song was written by Rick Nowels, Billy Steinberg and Maria Vidal. After Arista Records demanded the song be recorded, Malin Berggren, looking to take a secondary role in the band, initially refused to record it. Instead,Jenny Berggren originally recorded the song solo for the group. According to Ace Of Base's Jonas Berggren, once Clive Davis found out that song was recorded by Jenny Berggren he had called Malin Berggren and threatened her. Scared Berggren flew to Norway to record her vocals, and demanded that she only do one take. This one vocal take was used for the released version. "She was sad", Jonas Berggren wrote to fans about the incident in February, 2011. "And you can hear she didn't like it". According to her brother, it is after that incident that Berggren had decided she doesn't want to be involved in the music industry anymore. A radio edit of the ballad hit radios on April 5, 1999. It was also remixed for American audiences and promotionally released as a lead single for their Greatest Hits record in April 2000. The song was not released commercially in the United States.

Tracklist: 01.Michael Sembello - Rock Until You Drop (3:08) 02.The Monster Squad - Monster Rap (3:02) Boo! Happy Halloween "The Mobster Squad" is a limited edition 7" single released by Mondo Records featuring two pop songs from the classic film The Monster Squad released in 1987 ("Rock Until You Drop" by Michael Sembello, and "Monster Squad" Rap by The Monster Squad). Neither of these tracks have ever been officially released. "Monster Rap" also features Michael Sembello on the chorus but he is not credited. The r7" was released with several alternate covers and record colors. The film features the Universal Monsters (re-imagined by a team of special effects artists, including Stan Winston), led by Count Dracula. They, in turn, combat a group of savvy kids out to keep them from controlling the world. While not being a major success during its theatrical run and receiving mixed reviews from critics, the film has gained a positive reception from audiences and has become a cult classic in the years since its release. The source material that Mondo used for this pressing was not the best I assume they could not find the original master tape. I have tried to restore this 7" to the best possible quality. Still it will be fun for a spooky night of Tricks or Treats.

Tracklist: 01.Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Rage Hard (Vocal Remix) (7:00) 02.Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Rage Hard (Remix Edit Vocal) (4:20) 03.Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Rage Hard (Remix Dub Instrumental) (5:12) "Rage Hard" is the fifth single by English pop band Frankie Goes to Hollywood. It was released on 25 August 1986 as the first single from their second album Liverpool. The song reached number 4 in the UK Singles Chart and number 1 in Germany and it was also a massive success in other countries. Having topped the charts around the world with Welcome to the Pleasuredome and its accompanying singles, Frankie Goes to Hollywood took off to Hilversum Wisseloord Studios to record the follow-up album, Liverpool. Taking on a rockier edge, "Rage Hard" was the first single culled from the album. In a 1986 interview, singer Holly Johnson was asked about the meaning of the song explaining, "Have you read the poem 'Do Not Go Gently Into That Good Night' by Dylan Thomas? It was kind of inspired by that. It's an incantation against death and lethargy, and it's supposed to encourage lots of creative idealism in the listener." Not only was it the first Frankie single to be featured on CD single, it was also the first single to not feature a cassette release—new rules limited the number of items that could count towards the official charts, following the earlier ZTT excesses. "Rage Hard" eventually hit number 4 in the UK Singles Chart and number 1 in Germany for two weeks, #5 in Switzerland, #7 in the Netherlands, #12 in Austria, #19 in Sweden and #32 in France.

The new 1988 remix received renewed airplay on several US contemporary hit stations, it did not re-chart on the Hot 100. The video for "Secret", directed by Andy Morahan, shows various vintage black & white film clips, including footage of the Beatles, interspersed with new black & white footage of Humphreys and a woman processed to look like old home movies; additionally there are colour scenes of Humphreys singing. The theme is that a woman deserts her current love interest (McCluskey) to return to the arms of her true love (Humphreys). McCluskey's character observes the two lovers together and, though despondent, gallantly accepts that his love interest should instead be with Humphreys' character, before walking into the distance along the shore. The clip was filmed at Walton-on-the-Naze, Essex. The New 1988 Remixes were only released in the U,S.

The album was their commercial breakthrough in Europe and the United States, due to the lead single "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)", which was a UK No. 1 hit and a Top 20 hit in the United States. Additional single releases from the album included "Lover Come Back to Me", "In Too Deep" and "My Heart Goes Bang (Get Me to the Doctor)". This was Dead or Alive's first collaboration with the Stock Aitken Waterman production team. The recording was marked by tension and clashes between band and producers, which engineer Phil Harding alleges almost escalated to violence. In 1986 one of the most influential Remix services Razormaid released Chapter A.2 which included a medley of tracks taken from "Youthquake" along with a remix of the downtempo album track "It's Been A Long Time" both were remixed by razormaid c-founder Joseph watt.

Tracklist: 01.John Cougar Mellencamp - R.O.C.K. In The U.S.A. (2:49) 02.John Cougar Mellencamp - Under The Boardwalk (3:52) "R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A.", subtitled "A Salute to 60's Rock", is a rock song written and performed by John Cougar Mellencamp. It was the third single from his 1985 album Scarecrow and a top-ten hit on both the Billboard Hot 100 and Top Rock Tracks charts, peaking at number 2 and number 6 respectively. In Australia, the single effectively became a double-A side when the B-side "Under the Boardwalk" received significant airplay and both tracks were listed together on the singles chart, reaching #18. According to Mellencamp biography Born in a Small Town, Mellencamp was initially reluctant to include "R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A." on Scarecrow, feeling the song was too light-hearted to include alongside the otherwise grim songs such as "Rain on the Scarecrow" and "Face of the Nation". Mellencamp told Timothy White in a 1986 article for the Illinois Entertainer of his decision to include "R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A." on Scarecrow: "It was one of those absolute last-split-second decisions. I was only including it on the cassette and CD copies of Scarecrow as a bonus party track, but my manager loved the energy of it and I thought, 'Yeah! What the hell!'" Mellencamp required his band to learn how to play about 100 songs from the 1960s before recording Scarecrow, and the song includes several direct musical references to 1960s songs, including The Troggs' "Wild Thing". The song was recorded at Belmont Mall in Belmont, Indiana. The recording was produced by Mellencamp (under the alias "Little Bastard") and Don Gehman, engineered by Gehman and Greg Edward; backing Mellencamp on the recording were Kenny Aronoff (drums), Toby Myers (bass), Mike Wanchic (guitars, background vocals), Larry Crane (guitars, flutophone), John Cascella (keyboards), and Sarah Flint (background vocals). Cash Box called it a "no-holds-barred rocker." Billboard said that it "evokes, without quite quoting, reference points from 'La Bamba' to '96 Tears.'" A music video for the single was released in 1986. The video was directed by Mellencamp and Faye Cummings, and it was filmed using a kinescope camera. It featured an African American-vocal group and a Caucasian-instrumental group with the two groups playing together at the end of the video.

The song was written by Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, David Eiland, Langston Richey, Danny Williams and Herman Davis (a.k.a. Randy Ran). As were many other tracks from the album, "I Need Your Loving" was aimed towards the US market, where the first single from Crash, "Human", had reached number one. The single was recorded at the Flyte Time studios Minneapolis under the production of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis while the Human League had been in residence from February until April 1986. In the UK it was promoted with a cheaply and badly filmed music video and it became the band's worst showing in the UK charts ever, only reaching number 72. The song was savaged by critics at the time and has now been largely disowned by the band since. In the United States the song reached number 44 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart on January 24, 1987 after spending eleven weeks on the survey. "I Need Your Loving" also peaked at number 52 on the Billboard R&B chart.

Club Mix) (5:33) 04.Nitzer Ebb - K.I.A. (4:27) When researching songs that I wanted to include for PRIDE Month I wanted to step outside of the box because PRIDE music is not just Disco or Divas there is also many other geres to seek out ibcluding EBM/Industrial music which was quite popular in the mid-late 80's a homoerotic militaristic style of dance music which was a leather scene favorite. It was subversively left wing beneath it's macho surface. Bands like Nitzer Ebb really tapped into this subgenre. "Control I’m Here" was the first single released by British EBM project Nitzer Ebb taken from their second and upcoming studio album "Belief". It reached #100 in the UK Single's Chart, and #14 on the US Billboard Dance chart. the single was co-produced by Post-punk record producer and DJ, Flood (Mark Ellis) known for his work with a-ha, Depeche Mode, Erasure, Nine Inch Nails, U2 and many other bands.

In 1989, Wash recorded a song "(You're My One and Only) True Love" as a demo, produced by David Cole who would later form C+C Music Factory. Cole later gave the song to then-upcoming female group Seduction. The song appeared on Seduction's debut album Nothing Matters Without Love, released in September 1989, retaining the use of Wash's lead vocals and added Seduction's background vocals to the song.

The single became an unexpected success when it peaked at number twenty-three on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and number three on the Dance chart.

Its music video was directed by Baillie Walsh. British electronic dance and clubbing magazine Mixmag ranked "Generations of Love" number 100 in its "100 Greatest Dance Singles Of All Time" list in 1996, noting that "the gently rolling flamenco guitars and warm Mediterranean vocals saw dance floors turn to slush in its wake." The accompanying music video for "Generations of Love" was directed by British music video and film director Baillie Walsh. An uncensored 7-minute short movie named "Generations of Love" was also made by the band. It features Boy George, Talullah and Leigh Bowery. The film was shot in and around Soho, London, and was produced to promote the single. The short film gives an intriguing snapshot into London’s Soho nightlife during 1990 (still hungover from the late-1980s) by way of capturing the bustling local outdoor streets, and the inside of long-gone amusement arcades and porn cinemas. Talullah, in a wig, plays the role of a straight office-type punter, looking for a quick trick, who ends up pulling a transvestite hooker. They visit a Soho dark porn cinema, where business is dealt. Boy George appears in the film briefly in drag and as himself. The movie has a classic early Andy Warholesque feel to it.

It reached number 27 on the UK Singles Chart and became a bigger hit in several mainland European countries, especially in Austria and Germany, where the song reached the top 10. Boy George wrote "Bow Down Mister" shortly after taking a trip to India. George was intrigued that the song was perceived as radical to the public, as this was not his intention; however, he went on to explain, "That is unless you consider a song that encourages love instead of hate as being radical. I am continually amazed at how, with all of the knowledge we have as humans, we continue to be so small-minded." The track was written as an ode to the Hare Krishna movement, a Hindu religious organisation whose members dedicate their thoughts and actions to the Hindu deity Krishna, and the song recites the Hare Krishna mantra several times during the bridge. Indian playback singer Asha Bhosle is featured as the female vocalist on the recording. During an interview, Bhosle stated that "Bow Down Mister" was the best song she had contributed to and that she continues to cherish it. On the UK Singles Chart, "Bow Down Mister" debuted at number 69 on 17 February 1991, taking a total of five weeks to peak at number 27 on 17 March 1991. It spent three more weeks in the top 100 before dropping out in early April. The same month, the track appeared on the French Singles Chart at number 41, rising to a peak of number 29 on two occasions and spending 13 weeks on the chart. In late May, the single entered the Austrian and German Singles Chart. In Austria, it rose to number two and totalled 22 weeks in the top 30, ending 1991 as the country's 10th-highest-selling single. Meanwhile, in Germany, it peaked at number six for two weeks, logged 27 weeks in the top 100, and finished the year at number 17 on Germany's year-end chart. In Switzerland, it reached number 15, while in the Flanders region of Belgium, it debuted at its peak of number 44. On the Eurochart Hot 100, "Bow Down Mister" rose to number 20 in August 1991 and was ranked Europe's 73rd-best-performing hit of the year. The single was not released in the U.S. or Canada.
Tracklist: 01.OMD - Pandora's Box (It's A Long, Long Way) (Diesel Fingers Mix) (6:10) 02.OMD - Pandora's Box (It's A Long, Long Way) (Abstract Mix) (6:35) 03.OMD - Pandora's Box (It's A Long, Long Way) (Constant Pressure 12") (4:39) 04.OMD - Pandora's Box (It's A Long, Long Way) (Prize Of Beauty Mix) (5:35) 05.OMD - Sugar Tax (4:05) "Pandora's Box" (subtitled "It's a Long, Long Way" for the US release) is a song by English electronic band Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD), released by Virgin on 24 June 1991 as the second single from their eighth studio album, Sugar Tax (1991). The song, which deals with the less glamorous side of celebrity, was inspired by silent film actress Louise Brooks and is named after the 1929 film Pandora's Box in which she starred. The single was a top-10 hit in the United Kingdom and throughout Europe. In the United States the song was a top-twenty dance hit reaching #11 on the Billboard Dance Chart. Andy McCluskey wrote "Pandora's Box" about the silent film actress Louise Brooks. He told the Edinburgh Evening News in 1991, "I've been fascinated by her for eight or nine years now. The more I learned the more fascinated I became. [She's] absolutely the sort of woman you'd fall in love with on first sight and absolutely the sort of person that you desperately shouldn't go anywhere near. The music video for "Pandora's Box" is in black and white and features Louise Brooks and singer Andy McCluskey. According to the video intro, all of the scenes of Brooks in the video are from the original 1929 film.
Tracklist: 01.Pet Shop Boys - Jealousy (Extended Mix) (7:56) 02.Pet Shop Boys - Losing My Mind (Disco Mix) (6:08) "Jealousy" is a song originally written in 1982 by English synth-pop duo Pet Shop Boys, recorded for their fourth studio album, Behaviour (1990). It was released on 27 May 1991 as the album's fourth and final single. The song reached #12 on the UK singles chart. Neil Tennant states that "Jealousy" is the first proper song ever composed by the duo. Chris Lowe composed the melody at the piano in his parents' home and, as he felt it should be a ballad, asked Tennant to write an intense-sounding lyric. Tennant complied by writing a lyric about the simplest form of jealousy: infidelity suspicions aroused by someone's indifferent or disrespectful attitudes towards another person's feelings (such as making his/her partner wait all night for a phone call which never comes). The song was then left off three albums because the duo were waiting for legendary film composer Ennio Morricone to agree to score the orchestral arrangement for the song. Morricone's answer never came, and Harold Faltermeyer ended up doing the arrangement for the song's release on Behaviour. The album version, coming at the end of Behaviour, closed off the album with a sampler-based orchestral outro. The single version is slightly remixed, and uses a real orchestra instead during the outro. The extended version of the single version lengthens the outro while adding an orchestral intro as well; in addition, Neil Tennant recites a quote from William Shakespeare's Othello (Act III, Scene III) over both sequences: Not poppy, nor mandragora,
Nor all the drowsy syrups of the world,
Shall ever medicine thee to that sweet sleep
Which thou owedst yesterday. The B-side "Losing My Mind", taken from the Stephen Sondheim musical Follies, was based on a demo originally recorded as a proposal for the Liza Minnelli album Results. Its release here follows the releases of Minnelli's version on both Results and as the lead single from the album. As with the A-side, "Losing My Mind" was released in an extended mix (the "Disco mix") on the 12-inch single which was recorded in 1988-89.
Tracklist: 01.Pet Shop Boys - Where The Streets Have No Name (I Can't Take My Eyes Off You) (7" Edit) (4:32) 02.Pet Shop Boys - How Can You Expect To Be Taken Seriously? (4:09) "Where the Streets Have No Name (I Can't Take My Eyes Off You)" is a song by English synth-pop duo Pet Shop Boys. The song is a medley of U2's "Where the Streets Have No Name" and "Can't Take My Eyes Off You", a 1967 song by Frankie Valli, though in an arrangement informed by the 1982 disco version of the song by the Boys Town Gang rather than the original. The song accompanied "How Can You Expect to Be Taken Seriously?", the third single from their fourth studio album, Behaviour (1990), as a double A-side in the United Kingdom (both singles were released separately in the United States). Released in March 1991 by Parlophone, the song became the duo's 15th consecutive top-20 entry in the UK, peaking at number four on the UK Singles Chart. The single's other A-side, "How Can You Expect to Be Taken Seriously?", criticises the insincere humanitarian messages of a number of pop stars during the 1980s and the institutionalization of rock and roll. The band noted that "one song is about rock stars so to have a U2 song with it serves as a further comment." Also of note the version of "How Can You Expect to Be Taken Seriously?" is actually the "7" Perfect Attitude Mix" but not the same version that appeared on the U.S. CD Single this version is also used for the music video containing the "Gotta Have Fun" samples this mix only appears on the UK 7" single, and the video. The mix title does not appear on the sleeve or record label.
Tracklist: 01.Lulu - Independence (CJ Mackintosh Club Mix) (7:51) 02.Lulu - Independence (Mackapella Mix) (6:06) 03.Lulu - Independence (CJ Mackintosh Radio Mix) (3:59) 04.Lulu - Independence (Brothers In Rhythm Club Mix) (6:45) 05.Lulu - Independence (Tony Humphries Free Dub Mix) (9:48) "Independence" is a song recorded by Scottish singer and songwriter Lulu. It was released in 1993 by Dome, Parlophone and SBK as the first single from her eleventh album of the same name (1993), and was by many seen as the singer's comeback, after not releasing new material since 1982. The song was written by Leon Ware and Winston Sela, and produced by Cary Baylis, Eliot Kennedy and Mike Ward. It became a hit in both Europe and the US, peaking at number 11 on the UK Singles Chart, number 34 on the Eurochart Hot 100 and number three on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart. The song received remixes by Brothers In Rhythm, C.J. Mackintosh and Tony Humphries, and a music video was also produced to promote the single. "Independence" was a notable hit for Lulu and by many seen as her comeback in the 90s. The song reached its highest chart position as number three on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart. In Europe, the single entered the top 20 in the UK, peaking at number 11 on the UK Singles Chart on 30 January 1993, in its second week on the chart, just barely missing the top 10. Having debuted at number 14 the week before, the song then dropped to number 14 and 29 the following weeks, before leaving the UK Top 40. On both the Music Week Dance Singles chart and the Record Mirror Club Chart, "Independence" however managed to enter the top 10, peaking at number nine. In Ireland, it peaked at number 21, as well as on the European Dance Radio Chart, where it peaked in March 1993. On the Eurochart Hot 100, the song reached its highest chart position as number 34 in February, in its second week on the chart. It debuted at number 52 on 6 February after charting in the UK. Larry Flick from Billboard called it a "delicious pop/house anthem", noting that "she offers an assured vocal amid rousing mixes that will slam during mainstream peak-hour sets." He also stated that Lulu is in "excellent voice on a disco-minded house jam. Anthemic tune has a sing-along chorus that will stick in the heads of club and radio folks upon impact. Could be the first step in Lulu's carefully planned return to pop prominence."
Tracklist: 01.Blur - Girls & Boys (PSB 12" Mix) (7:15) 02.Blur - Girls & Boys (Album Version) (4:18) 03.Blur - Girls & Boys (PSB 7" Mix) (4:04) "Girls & Boys" is a song by English rock band Blur, released in March 1994 by Food Records as the lead single from the group's third studio album, Parklife (1994). The frontman of Blur, Damon Albarn wrote the song's lyrics with bandmembers Graham Coxon, Alex James and Dave Rowntree, while Stephen Street produced it. Charting at number five on the UK Singles Chart, "Girls & Boys" was Blur's first top-five hit and their most successful single until "Country House" reached number one the following year. In the United States, the track reached number 59 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and number four on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart. Kevin Godley produced the music video for the song. "Girls & Boys" was named single of the year by NME and Melody Maker and was nominated for best song at the MTV Europe Music Awards. Damon Albarn was inspired to write the song while on holiday in Magaluf, Spain, with then-girlfriend Justine Frischmann, lead singer of Elastica. According to Albarn, the city had "really tacky Essex nightclubs" and a rampant sexual scene among visitors, with "All these blokes and all these girls meeting at the watering hole and then just copulating. There's no morality involved, I'm not saying it should or shouldn't happen." The music has a convergence of various pop and dance styles, summed up by bassist Alex James as "Disco drums, nasty guitars and Duran Duran bass." Drummer Dave Rowntree admitted that he is not playing on the track, being replaced by a drum machine he programmed. He said it was his favourite song on Blur: The Best Of (2000) because he "isn't really in it. It's cool not being in your own song." The vocals were recorded with a demo featuring only the keyboards. This song is written in the key of G minor. Pet Shop Boys, provided a remix of the track for the single release. The accompanying music video for "Girls & Boys" was directed by English singer, songwriter, musician and music video director Kevin Godley. It features Blur performing the song against a bluescreen backdrop of documentary footage of people on Club 18-30 package holidays. Godley branded the video as "Page 3 rubbish", while Blur found it "perfect". The front cover of the single was taken from a pack of Durex condoms.

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic calls the song the "last great single of the album-rock era".

Tracklist: 01.Pet Shop Boys - In The Night (7" Edit Version) (3:39) "In the Night" is a song by UK duo Pet Shop Boys, about the subculture known as the Zazous, which appeared in France during the German occupation of France in World War II; concerned with fashion and music, and allied with neither the Nazis and Vichy France nor the French Resistance, they were distrusted by both sides. Tennant, having read about the movement in a book by David Pryce-Jones, asks, in the song, the question of whether this apathy essentially amounted to collaborationism. The song was scheduled to be released as a single in Germany on March 4, 1987 but was withdrawn with only a 7" promo being issued. The Artur Baker 7" edit is exclusive to this release and has never appeared on CD to the best of my knowledge. The full Arthur Baker mix appeared on the album "DISCO". The same mix appears on both sides.

Tracklist: 01.Howard Jones - No One Is To Blame (Extended Mix) (5:14) 02.Howard Jones - The Chase (2:54) 03.Howard Jones - No One Is To Blame (The Long Mix) (3:09) "No One Is to Blame" is a song by British musician Howard Jones. The song, in its original version, can be found on his second studio album, Dream into Action, which was released in 1985. Following the success of the previous singles taken from the album, the original track for "No One Is to Blame" was re-recorded to give the song a more radio-friendly sound. Phil Collins and Hugh Padgham produced the re-recording, with Collins adding his own backing vocals and drum work. This new version of the song was included on the 1986 US EP Action Replay as well as the CD version of Jones's 1986 studio album, One to One. "No One Is to Blame" was released as a single in March 1986 and became Jones's biggest hit in the United States, peaking at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song also became the first of his two #1 songs on the U.S. adult contemporary chart ("Everlasting Love" would top this chart in 1989). The song was also a top 10 hit in Australia and a #16 hit in the U.K.. The song is about unfulfilled attractions, saying that they're normal and commonplace ("We want everyone - no one ever is to blame"). It uses a number of metaphors, such as "You can look at the menu, but you just can't eat" and "It's the last piece of the puzzle, but you just can't make it fit," to describe the frustration of experiencing attraction but being unable to act on it, for whatever reason. On a deeper level it describes the frustration and pain of unfulfilled desires and dreams inherent in the human condition. "The Long Mix" is significantly shorter than the single; it is actually not a remix, but an entirely different piano and vocal-only version of the song recorded in session for the BBC Radio 1 Janice Long show.
Tracklist: 01.Sylvester - Someone Like You (Remix) (6:15) 02.Sylvester - Someone Like You (Joseph Watt Remix) (5:40) 03.Sylvester - Someone Like You (Larry Levan Remix) (6:01) 04.Sylvester - Someone Like You (Larry Levan Dub Remix) (6:36) Today is World AIDS Day an opportunity for people worldwide to unite in the fight against HIV, show their support for people living with HIV and to commemorate people who have died. World AIDS Day was the first ever global health day, held for the first time in 1988. I thought it fitting to feature one of the many artists who were taken from us in the 1980's by this horrible disease. "Someone Like You" is a 1986 dance single by Sylvester. The song was written by Len Barry and McKinley Horton. It was produced by Ken Kessie and Morey Goldstein. The single was Sylvester's second and last entry to reach number one on the dance charts, where it stayed for one week. "Someone like You", also went to number nineteen on the soul chart, and was Sylvester's highest chart entry, since 1978. An activist who campaigned against the spread of HIV/AIDS, Sylvester died from complications arising from the virus in 1988, leaving all future royalties from his work to San Francisco-based HIV/AIDS charities. The single sleeve was designed by artist Keith Harring who was an American artist and social activist whose work responded to the New York City street culture of the 1980s by expressing concepts of birth, death, sexuality, and war. Haring's work was often heavily political and his imagery has become a widely recognized visual language of the 20th century. The theme of AIDS permeates Haring's late work, most likely because it had a heavy influence on his personal life. Midway through Haring's journals there is mention of the disease claiming his friends' lives, and later passages show Haring worrying increasingly about his own HIV status. Haring died on February 16, 1990 of AIDS-related complications.
Tracklist: 01.Grace Jones - Party Girl (Extended Remix) (7:24) 02.Grace Jones - Party Girl (Dub Version) (5:00) 03.Grace Jones - Party Girl (7" Edit) (3:38) "Party Girl" is a single by Grace Jones released in 1986. "Party Girl" blends pop and funk music, with an addition of Caribbean sound to it. It was released as the second single from Inside Story, an album Grace co-wrote and co-produced along with Nile Rodgers, in December 1986 in Europe and 1987 in the United States. The song was remixed by Steve Thompson and Michael Barbiero for single release. The song made little impact on music charts, however, it became a top 20 dance hit in the US.
Tracklist: 01.Kim Wilde - You Keep Me Hangin' On (Extended Mix) (9:01) 02.Kim Wilde - Loving You (4:52) 03.Kim Wilde - You Keep Me Hangin' On (7" Edit) (4:11) "You Keep Me Hangin' On" is a 1966 song written and composed by Holland–Dozier–Holland. It first became a popular Billboard Hot 100 number one hit for the American Motown group The Supremes in late 1966. "You Keep Me Hangin' On" was covered in an updated version by British singer Kim Wilde in 1986. Wilde's version was a total re-working of the original, completely transforming the Supremes' Motown Sound into a hi-NRG song. She and her brother, producer Ricky Wilde, had not heard "You Keep Me Hangin' On" for several years when they decided to record it. The song was not a track they knew well, so they treated it as a new song, even slightly changing the original lyrics. It was released as the second single from Wilde's Another Step studio album (although "You Keep Me Hangin' On" was the LP's first worldwide single, as the first single had been released only in selected countries). The song became the biggest hit of Wilde's career, reaching number 2 in her home country, and number 1 in Australia. It also became Wilde's second and last Top 40 hit in the US following "Kids in America" and is also, to date, her most successful song in that country, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for one week in June 1987. It later ranked as the 34th biggest hit of 1987 on Billboard's Hot 100 year-end chart that year. "You Keep Me Hangin' On" was certified silver by the British Phonographic Industry for UK sales exceeding 250,000 copies.
Tracklist: 01.Book Of Love - We Three Kings (3:16) 02.Erasure - Silent Night/Erasure Christmas (0:54) 03.Danielle Dax - Blue Christmas (1:35) 04.Honeymoon Suite - I Believe In Father Christmas (3:06) I couldn't really figure out what to post for Christmas this year so I decided to put together a selection of tracks taken from two seperate Warner Brothers Christmas compilations. "Yulesville" (1987) and "Winter Warnerland" (1988). Most of the tracks were exclusive to these records at the time of their release. The selections that I chose are some of my favorites from these two records. I hope that they will become favorites for you too. Merry Christmas! "We Three Kings" is a Christmas carol that was written by John Henry Hopkins, Jr. in 1857. Produced by the prodigious Flood, who has worked with artists such as Erasure and Depeche Mode, Book Of Love's holiday offering is positively regal, and should whet the appetites of kings, queens and everything in between.. "Silent Night" performed by British synth-pop band Erasure who at the time had just released their LP "The Circus" added not only a Christmas message but their own Erasurized version of this holiday classic. "Blue Christmas" is a Christmas song written by Billy Hayes and Jay W. Johnson and most famously performed by Elvis Presley. Former LEMMON KITTEN, Danielle Dax who at the time had just relesed her album "Dark Adapted Eye" which featured the UK smashes "Cathouse" and "Big Hollow Man". recorded her version of "Blue Christmas" which is so good, it ought to keep Elvis from coming back for more...(oops, did I say that?) "I Believe in Father Christmas" is a song by English musician Greg Lake with lyrics by Peter Sinfield. Canadian band Honeymoon Suite recorded the song exclusively for the "Winter Warnerland" compilation and it's a beauty. Both tracks taken from the original vinyl release.
Tracklist: 01.Camouflage - The Great Commandment (12" Mix) (6:14) 02.Camouflage - The Great Commandment (Dub Mix) (7:52) 03.Camouflage - The Great Commandment (Extended Dance Mix) (6:00) 04.Camouflage - Pompeji (5:26) 05.Camouflage - The Great Commandment (Extended Radio Mix) (5:40) "The Great Commandment" is the debut single from German synthpop band Camouflage, taken from their debut album Voices & Images. The single had originally been recorded three years prior and was re-recorded in 1987, giving Camouflage their only number one dance hit. "The Great Commandment" stayed at the top spot for three non-consecutive weeks. The single became popular on independent stations and crossed over to the mainstream American pop charts, peaking at number fifty-nine in 1988. In their native Germany, "The Great Commandment" went to number fourteen, and reached the top ten in over twenty countries. This US 12" contains remixes by American dj/remixer John Luongo. I added as a bonus track the "Extended Radio Mix" which I transfered from the German 12".
Tracklist: 01.Erasure - Stop! (Mark Saunders Remix) (5:46) 02.Erasure - Knocking On Your Door (Mark Saunders Remix) (6:04) 03.Erasure - God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen (3:10) Seasons Greetings! I originally posted this 12″ on December 21, 2011. I really love this EP and wanted to give it a proper transfer. This is the first restoration using the new Ortofon 2M Bronze. I really hope that it is an upgrade and you will be able to hear the difference. Crackers International is a Christmas EP released by Erasure in 1988, in between the albums The Innocents and Wild!. The EP appeared in several different versions. The original UK release by Mute Records consisted of four original, self-produced tracks. In the UK, where at the time EPs were eligible for the singles chart, it became one of Erasure's most successful releases, matching the number two peak of 1986's "Sometimes." It was promoted with a simple music video for the lead track "Stop!", showing Clarke and Bell performing the song on a stage surrounded by "stop", "no entry", "give way" and similar road signs. In the U.S., Crackers International was still considered an EP, although two remixes were added (bringing the track list count to six) when Sire Records released it. In the U.S., where EPs chart on the Billboard 200, it hit number seventy-three. The song "Stop!" was also released as its own stand-alone single in the U.S., just barely making an appearance on the Billboard Hot 100 (number 97). On the U.S. Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart "Stop!" / "Knocking on Your Door" peaked at number four as a double-sided entry. Additionally, a version of the EP was released in the UK by Mute Records in a very limited-edition, seasonal pressing, titled Crackers International Part 2. Released originally in 12" vinyl with extended versions of "Stop!" and "Knocking on Your Door", both remixed by Mark Saunders, it also added the Christmas standard "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen". It was subsequently released as a compact disc containing the original 7" versions of "Stop!" and "Knocking on Your Door" (also of note is the fact that there were two different versions of the single mix of "Stop!", one with a fade, and a slightly longer one with a 'cold' ending). Sire Records commissioned some mixes for the song by Justin Strauss, who previously had remixed A Little Respect for the U.S. market, but the mixes remain unreleased. This versions can be found on the Soundcloud page of Justin Strauss. Twenty-five years after Crackers International, in 2013, Erasure would finally release a proper Christmas album, titled Snow Globe.

Tracklist: 01.Aretha Franklin & George Michael - I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me) (Extended Remix) (7:25) 02.Aretha Franklin & George Michael - I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me) (Percappella) (5:14) 03.Aretha Franklin & George Michael - I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me) (Edited Remix) (5:30) "I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)" is a Grammy Award-winning number-one song performed by Aretha Franklin and George Michael as a duet in 1987. It was written by Simon Climie and Dennis Morgan. It also stands as Franklin's biggest hit at the Adult Contemporary chart, spending several weeks at number two. The song was a one-off project that helped Michael achieve his ambition to sing with one of his favorite artists, and it reached number-one in both the UK Singles Chart and Billboard Hot 100. The song was Franklin's first and only UK number-one hit, and only her fourth top ten achievement in the country since "I Say a Little Prayer", nearly two decades earlier. This was also the last of Franklin's seventeen top 10 hits in the Billboard Hot 100. For Michael, it became his third consecutive number-one in the UK since going solo, following 1984's "Careless Whisper" (though the single was actually from the Wham! album Make It Big) and 1986's "A Different Corner". In the US, it was Michael's fourth number-one hit, counting his Wham! days. The single was the first Michael had recorded (as a lead artist) that he had not written himself. The co-writer, Simon Climie, was unknown at the time, although he later had success as a performer with Climie Fisher in 1988. On the US Billboard Hot 100, "I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)" debuted at number 59, the week of February 21, 1987, reaching number-one in its ninth week, April 18, 1987, and remaining there for two consecutive weeks.
Tracklist: 01.Bucks Fizz - New Beginning (Mamba Seyra) (Ian Levine Remix) (9:28) 02.Bucks Fizz - New Beginning (Mamba Seyra) (Ian Levine Remix - Dub Version) (8:18) 03.Bucks Fizz - New Beginning (Mamba Seyra) (4:07) "New Beginning (Mamba Seyra)" (often referred to as simply "New Beginning") is a 1986 single by UK pop group Bucks Fizz. It was a comeback hit (their first release on Polydor Records), achieving their highest chart placing for four years. The song was written by Mike Myers and Tony Gibber and was produced by Myers along with the group's regular producer Andy Hill. According to the group, the recording of the song took an unusually long time due to the vocal tracks. As well as the group recording their vocals repeatedly, there was also a children's choir and gospel choir used on the track. The musicians in the studio also were used on distant back-up vocals. Member Cheryl Baker remembers one version where Hill instructed them to deliberately sing out of tune, which she found difficult. The original mix of the song was completed in February 1986. "New Beginning" (as it is very often more simply referred) was originally recorded a year earlier by Force 8 - who were actually pop group The Dooleys under an assumed name. The theme of the song is one of hope where the narrator talks about building a happier world, with some parts of the song sung in Swahili and Spanish. The video for the single depicts the group performing the song in a Metropolis-type setting backed by dancers and drummers - due to the heavy drum sound on the track. The song was released in May 1986 and was seen as a comeback single as it was their first release in eight months and featured new member Shelley Preston who had replaced Jay Aston a year earlier. It was also their first release on new record label, Polydor after their five-year contract with RCA had finished. The song was notable for its full and lavish production and multi-layered vocal work and received much praise from critics as well as becoming very popular on radio. The song became a big hit in the Summer of 1986. After entering at No.55, the song rose sharply to No.24 becoming instantly their biggest hit for three years. Two weeks later the single entered the top 10 at number eight where it stayed the following week. The song remained on the charts for 10 weeks and became the 93rd biggest-seller of the year. "New Beginning" achieved their highest chart position for four years, but was also their last UK top 40 hit. In the United States the single did not chart.
Tracklist: 01.New Order - Bizarre Love Triangle (6:43) 02.New Order - I Don't Care (7:01) 03.New Order - State Of The Nation (6:33) 04.New Order - Bizarre Love Triangle (3:45) "Bizarre Love Triangle" is a song by the English band New Order, released as a single in 1986 from their fourth studio album, Brotherhood (1986), which reached the top five on the US Hot Dance Music/Club Play Singles chart, and No. 5 on the Australian ARIA Charts (No. 1 on the Victoria state chart) in March 1987. It failed to make the top 40 in either the United Kingdom (only reaching No. 56) or the US Billboard Hot 100. In the United States, the song also reached the eighth position on the Hot Dance Music/Maxi-Singles Sales chart, but failed to chart on the Hot 100 during its original 1986 release. However, a new mix included on the The Best of New Order was released in 1994 and finally made a brief appearance on the Billboard Hot 100 in the number 98 position in 1995. In 2004 the song was ranked number 201 in Rolling Stone's "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time". "I Don't Care" is also known as "Bizarre Dub Triangle".
Tracklist: 01.Pet Shop Boys - Paninaro (Italian Remix) (8:36) 02.Pet Shop Boys - Paninaro (Ian Levine Mix) (9:54) Limited Edition Italy-only 12″. 5000 copies exist. “Paninaro” is a song by English synthpop duo Pet Shop Boys. Originally a B-side to the 1986 single “Suburbia”, it was released as a limited-edition single in Italy during the same year. “Paninaro” was produced by the band themselves, and is the first track which features Chris Lowe on lead vocals, although he speaks the lyrics, rather than sings them. While all 7″ and 12″ releases of “Suburbia” contained only the 7″ version of “Paninaro”, the 12″ version was featured on “Disco: The Remix Album”. Another remix by Ian Levine was done, but only appears as the second track from the Italian 12″ single. “Paninaro” was written entirely by Chris Lowe, and was originally based on an idea brought forth by Tom Watkins, who later removed himself from the project. The Paninari is the name of a 1980s Italian youth subculture known as the paninari; derived from the word panino, Italian for sandwich, they were known for congregating in restaurants serving sandwiches and in the first US-style fast food restaurants, as well as their preference for designer clothing and 1980s pop music such as the New Romantic music of Duran Duran. Neil Tennant has said that they were drawn to the concept due to having shared those preferences. The band wanted to remove Versace from the lyrics because Vercase was not really a designer favoured by the Paninari, but it was edited out of every version except the 12″ There was in fact a video shot for ‘Paninaro’, even though it wasn’t a bonafide single. It featured shots taken around Milan and fed through a digital imaging processor to give it a pixelated feel. It was released originally on the “Television” video compilation and again on the “Pop Art” DVD. “Paninaro” was remixed and released a second time in 1995 as “Paninaro 95” in conjunction with the b-sides compilation “Alternative”.

Shep Pettibone did not mix "Was That What It Was?"; he was booked to do so, but missed his plane, and his manager, Jane Brinton, mixed the song in his absence.

Tracklist: 01.Nina Hagan, Lene Lovich - Don't Kill The Animals (Disco Version) (6:12) 02.Nina Hagan, Lene Lovich - Don't Kill The Animals (Instrumental) (4:28) 03.Nina Hagan, Lene Lovich - Don't Kill The Animals (7" Version) (5:36) In 1986 Nina Hagen and Lene Lovich teamed up to record this protest song for animal rights. These two women deliver a song that is infectiously danceable, yet puts forth a very strong message. The song originally appeared on the compilation album Animal Liberation (1987) and later on Tame Yourself (1991) both to benefit PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals).
Tracklist: 01.Bomb The Bass - Beat Dis (Extended Dis) (5:57) 02.Bomb The Bass - Beat Dis (Radio Edit) (3:58) 03.Bomb The Bass - Bonus Beats (5:10) "Beat Dis" is a 1988 track by British act Bomb the Bass, a studio production formed by producer Tim Simenon, from the act's album Into the Dragon. It, like other hits of the era such as "Pump Up the Volume" by MARRS and "Theme from S'Express" by S'Express, largely consisted of samples. The single was very successful in the United Kingdom, peaking at number two on the UK Singles Chart. It reached #1 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart for one week and was Bomb the Bass' only chart hit in the U.S. The record sleeve features a smiley lifted from Watchmen. This usage was the origin of the use of the smiley as a symbol for acid house.
Tracklist: 01.C.C.C.P. - Made In Russia (6:59) 02.C.C.C.P. - Made In Russia (Instrumental Version) (6:58) "Made In Russia" is the second single by German synth-pop act C.C.C.P. led by Rasputin Stoy.

Tracklist: 01.M|A|R|R|S - Pump Up The Volume (7:10) 02.M|A|R|R|S - Pump Up The Volume (Bonus Beat) (4:45) 03.M|A|R|R|S - Pump Up The Volume (Instrumental) (5:06) 04.M|A|R|R|S - Anitina (First Time I See She Dance) (4:22) "Pump Up the Volume" is the only single by British recording act M|A|R|R|S. Recorded and released in 1987, it was a number-one hit in many countries and is regarded as a significant milestone in the development of British acid house music and music sampling. The song derives its title directly from a lyrical sample from "I Know You Got Soul", a hit single by labelmates Eric B. & Rakim, released months prior in that same year. The single was the product of an uneasy collaboration between electronic group Colourbox and alternative rock band A R Kane, two groups signed to the independent label 4AD. The link-up was suggested by label founder Ivo Watts-Russell after the two groups had independently sounded him out about the possibility of releasing a commercially oriented dance record, inspired by the American house music that was starting to make an impact on the UK chart. When the M|A|R|R|S project was first released early in 1987, the popularity of the style of the song had already started to grow.
Tracklist: 01.M|A|R|R|S - Pump Up The Volume (Remix) (6:28) 02.M|A|R|R|S - Anitina (The First Time I See She Dance) (Remix) (7:45) "Pump Up the Volume" is the only single by British recording act M|A|R|R|S. Recorded and released in 1987. In Europe a second 12" single was released featuring a "Remix". This remix became the best-known version of the track, transforming it by the addition of numerous samples which provided the record with additional hooks besides its oft-repeated title chant, such as samples of tracks by Public Enemy, Criminal Element Orchestra and the Bar-Kays being used. It was this remix, rather than the original, that was edited down to create the 7-inch version of the track, which began picking up radio play. The single reached #1 on the U.K. singles chart.
Tracklist: 01.Pet Shop Boys and Dusty Springfield - What Have I Done To Deserve This? (The Shep Pettibone Remix) (8:30) 02.Pet Shop Boys and Dusty Springfield - What Have I Done To Deserve This?

It was kept from the top spot by "Seasons Change" by Expose and "Father Figure" by their fellow British singer George Michael on that chart. The single made it to number 1 on the Irish singles chart, where it was Pet Shop Boys' second number 1 hit in the space of just six weeks. The song's success helped revive Springfield's career and led to a resurgence of interest in her music. Pet Shop Boys and Dusty Springfield performed the song for the 1988 BRIT Awards. Following the duet the Pet Shop Boys wrote and produced the singles "Nothing Has Been Proved" and "In Private" for Springfield, both included on her 1990 album Reputation. The music video was filmed in a music hall, featuring a female chorus line and male members of the pit orchestra. It made significant use of the theater drapes and stage curtains for dramatic effect. Like all of the singles taken from the Actually album, the song also appears on the film It Couldn't Happen Here, where it is briefly played in instrumental form, without vocals. In North America the 12" single included alternate Shep Pettibone remixes with "Rent" and "I Want A Dog" as the b-side tracks.

It was the third single to be lifted from the duo's second album, The Circus, released six weeks earlier, and was remixed for single release. The song was written by band members Vince Clarke and Andy Bell and incorporates the signature Erasure sound of uptempo rhythm, analog synthesizer and a prominent acoustic guitar. Bell's lyrics pertain to one's apprehension when entering into a new love relationship. The song's protagonist doesn't "want to look like some kind of fool" or become a "victim of love". Upon its release, "Victim of Love" became the second UK Top 10 single for Erasure, peaking at number seven. "Victim of Love" also hit number one on the U.S. Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart (Clarke and Bell would have to wait eighteen years before their second U.S. Dance chart-topper "Breathe").

Tracklist: 01.Ferry Aid - Let It Be (6:30) 02.Ferry Aid - Let It Be (Mega Message Mix) (6:11) Although this single was recorded to help victims of a 1987 tragedy. Today we pray for those affected in Manchester, England. Ferry Aid were a British-American ensemble group, brought together to record the song "Let It Be" in 1987. The single was released following the Zeebrugge Disaster, which had occurred on 6 March 1987 involving the capsizing of the MS Herald of Free Enterprise ferry, which killed 193 passengers and crew. All proceeds from sales of the single were donated to the charity set up in the aftermath of the disaster. The recording was organised by The Sun newspaper, after it had sold cheap tickets for the ferry on that day. "Let It Be" was written by Lennon–McCartney and originally recorded by The Beatles in 1969. Garry Bushell, then with The Sun newspaper, organised the recording of the song by recruiting record producers Stock, Aitken and Waterman. They then put an invitation out to the music industry for artists to contribute their vocals to the song. Although many stars were initially reluctant to join forces with the newspaper, eventually artists such as Boy George, Kate Bush, Gary Moore and Mark Knopfler agreed to take part. Original writer, Paul McCartney also contributed to the song, although his performance (and section in the accompanying video) were recorded independently in his own studios. In fact, it was later revealed that McCartney used his voice of the original recording of the 1970 Beatles track and added it to the Ferry Aid recording. The song was recorded over three days between 14 and 16 March 1987 and the single was released on Monday 23 March 1987. The first artist to record his part was Mark King (who also played bass guitar on the song) on the Saturday morning, while the last was Paul King on Monday evening. In the original Beatles recording George Harrison did the guitar solo but for the purposes of this song - as shown in the video - the solo was divided with Gary Moore first, then Mark Knopfler, then back to Gary Moore with Moore's parts being more 'rock' and Knopfler's being more laid-back. "Let It Be" reached #1 in the UK Singles Chart in its first week on 4 April 1987, and remained at that position for three weeks. It was the 13th best selling single of the year in the UK; it was certified gold for shipping over 500,000 copies. The single was also a number one hit in Norway and Switzerland, and reached the top 10 in several European countries.

It went on to become a top 20 hit throughout Europe, and even reached the top 10 in some countries. The song fared even better the following year in the U.S. There, "Shattered Dreams" was released early in 1988 with a totally different music video, shot entirely in black and white and directed by David Fincher, which Datchler actually preferred. The single peaked at #1 on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart for one week and #2 for a week on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, kept from the top spot by "Anything for You" by Gloria Estefan and Miami Sound Machine and also "One More Try" by George Michael.

"Shame" was scheduled for release as a single whilst OMD were still on tour. The band had suggested "Stay" as a possible single from the album, but label Virgin thought "Shame" had more potential. The band relented, although feeling the album version was too slow, and recruited Rhett Davies to give the song more of a polish. The B side Goddess of Love was lifted straight from the album The Pacific Age and was the song which was originally intended to be used for the Pretty in Pink movie soundtrack before the group came up with "If You Leave", which was featured in the movie. The single reached no. 52 on the UK Singles Chart. It has never been included on any of OMD's singles compilation albums, making it unique to this release. The 7" re-recorded version has never had a digital release. A promotional video was made for the single and is included on the DVD of the CD/DVD release Messages: Greatest Hits.

Meldrum's introduction was: "We're about to present a group, a local group, who have got no record contract. We saw them at a gig. I think they have loads of potential, so all you record companies out there, have a look at them, and the public, you judge for yourselves. We think they're pretty good. A young group, they go under the name of Pseudo Echo. Here they are with "Listening". Go boys!"

Tracklist: 01.Glass Tiger - Don't Forget Me (When I'm Gone) (Extended Version) (6:30) 02.Glass Tiger - Don't Forget Me (When I'm Gone) (Death Mix) (5:50) "Don't Forget Me (When I'm Gone)" is a song by Canadian rock band Glass Tiger. It was released in January 1986 as the lead from their debut album, The Thin Red Line. The song reached number-one in Canada and number 2 in the United States. The song features backing vocals by rock singer Bryan Adams. In 1985, Glass Tiger chose Jim Vallance to produce the band's debut album. At the time, Vallance was primarily known as a songwriter, having written most frequently (and successfully) with Bryan Adams. He also had some previous production experience, having produced one album apiece by Adams, Doug and the Slugs and CANO in the early 1980s. The band's lead vocalist Alan Frew recalled: "It worked out great because we were all at the same stage of development. He didn't change the sound of the band at all. He let us experiment but wasn't afraid to get heavy-handed when he had to." Vallance composed "Don't Forget Me (When I'm Gone)" with the band, while Adams provided backing vocals. Frew - "On the very first day that we met Jim Vallance, he picked us up at the airport and to break the ice asked us what we were listening to. One was Tears For Fears. We went to his house and drank tea and listened to some tunes. 'Everybody Wants to Rule the World' came on and we really liked the shuffle beat. So we went into the studio and based on this shuffle beat, we wrote 'Don't Forget Me (When I'm Gone)'. First day, first song." "Don't Forget Me (When I'm Gone)" topped the Canadian Singles Chart in March 1986, and spent two weeks at number 1. The single was certified platinum by the Canadian Recording Industry Association in July. The song entered the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in July, peaked at number 2 in October - kept from number 1 by Janet Jackson's "When I Think of You" - and spent 24 weeks on the chart. It reached number 1 on the Singles Sales chart and number 6 on the Hot 100 Airplay chart. The song also peaked at number 17 on the Mainstream Rock chart, number 30 on the Adult Contemporary chart, and number 34 on the Billboard Year-End singles chart of 1986. The single reached the top 15 in Australia, number 27 in New Zealand, number 29 in the United Kingdom, and number 40 in the Netherlands. Frew credited the song's chart performance to "solid record company involvement" and the band's international appeal. "We aren't rewriting musical history by any means," he added. "But our melody lines are strong and mature enough to appeal to the English-speaking world." The song won the 1986 Juno Award for Single of the Year, and was named top Canadian single in the Rock Express magazine readers' poll awards in 1987. In 1996, the Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada honored the song for airing more than 100,000 times on Canadian radio. The "Death Mix" did not appear on CD the re-issue of the bands debut album.
Tracklist: 01.Human League - Human (Extended Version) (5:06) 02.Human League - Human (A Cappella Version) (2:01) 03.Human League - Human (Instrumental Version) (5:04) "Human" is a song recorded by British synthpop band The Human League, and released as the first single from their 1986 album Crash. The track, which deals with the subject of infidelity, was written and produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. In 1985, the recording sessions for the Human League's fifth album were not going well, and the band did not like the results, which was causing internal conflict. Virgin Records executives, worried by the lack of progress from their at-the-time most profitable signing, suggested the band accept an offer to work with producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, who already had material to work with; and had expressed an interest in the band from their U.S. releases. Jam and Lewis had recently emerged as in-demand talent due to their success with Janet Jackson and her Control album. Of the ten songs on Crash, Jam and Lewis wrote three, "Human" being one of them. It is a mid-tempo ballad which lyrically is an exchange between a man and a woman in a relationship who have reunited after a separation. In the first two verses Philip Oakey is apologizing to his partner for being unfaithful during her absence, and in the song's breakdown Joanne Catherall's spoken-word confession reveals that she too was unfaithful. The song's title is derived from the chorus, in which both parties in the relationship explain that they are "only human" and "born to make mistakes". The song is a composition in common time with a tempo of 102 beats per minute. It is set in a key of A♭ major, with a chord progression from D♭-E♭-f. "Human" became the second million-selling and final number-one single for The Human League on the US Billboard Hot 100 (after "Don't You Want Me") and their second chart-topper on the U.S. Hot Dance Club Play chart (after "(Keep Feeling) Fascination"). Jam and Lewis' R&B-based production was also popular on American urban radio, bringing the Human League into the top ten of the U.S. R&B chart for the first time. The song hit #1 in the US; however, in the UK, where R&B was less popular, "Human" peaked at number eight in the UK singles chart.

In radio interviews conducted during the height of their success both Hunt and Pasquale stated that one of their primary musical influences was George Michael, and more specifically, the work Michael did during the Wham! years. "The way he arranged songs and melodies was quite unique and we tried to emulate that with our own music," Hunt was quoted as saying during one of those early interviews. Boys Club was the first group to appear on the New Mickey Mouse Club as a musical guest during the first episode. Hunt (born Eugene Wolfgramm) was previously a member of the family group The Jets. His youngest brothers and sisters are now members of a hard rock group, Against the Season. In 1990, Hunt briefly reunited with The Jets to record four new tracks for The Best of The Jets (1990).

Tracklist: 01.Hue And Cry - Labour Of Love (12" Remix) (5:34) 02.Hue And Cry - Labour Of Love (Dub Version) (3:49) 03.Hue And Cry - Widescreen (3:44) pseudo-satisfaction baby! "Labour of Love" was a hit single by Scottish duo/brothers Greg and Pat Kane, better known as Hue and Cry. Included on the album Seduced and Abandoned, it was released as their second single in 1987 after their first hit "I Refuse" had failed to make the UK Top 75. Showcasing a somewhat funky sound that was very different from their later ballad releases, this song remains their biggest hit to date, peaking at #6 on the UK Singles Chart and meriting inclusion on many hits compilations of the 1980s. The song is written from the perspective of a disillusioned working-class Conservative voter of the mid-1980s who has worked hard to believe in Margaret Thatcher's story of a new proud, individualist Britain and who is now realising that there is less "gain" than "pain" in doing so. The band had a lucky break with this single when they were asked to perform it on the BBC music show Top of the Pops at short notice. American band Los Lobos were booked to be on the show that week with their hit "La Bamba" but due to a mix-up with their visa applications, they were unable to perform. Hue and Cry were asked to fill the gap in the show and the exposure that this generated helped propel the single up the UK charts. The b-sdie "Widescreen" is a non album track.

This is one of the most sought after Dead Or Alive promos… very few in existence and very rare. This 12″ was used to promote the album “Rip It Up” and has never appeared on any other Dead Or Alive release. There were only about 100 copies of this 12″ made making it one of the rarest Japanese Dead Or Alive items. Japanese PROMOS are by far the rarest of all promotional format. When finished with the vinyl, radio stations would either smash or throw away the promos to prevent resale. Japan stopped pressing vinyl mainstream in the mid 1990’s and switched to the CD format for most releases. The very existence of a Japanese PROMO is itself rare, much less a promo from Dead Or Alive!

However, given the rudimentary style of video making utilized at the time, many believe that the video was of, at least, moderate quality. Despite its simplicity, some early video aficionados descride the video as "awesomely terrible". Regardless of how critics view this video, most agree that it is visual accompaniment for one of the greatest soul songs of the 1980s.

Dayne recalled feeling an immediate affinity with the song: "I thought there was something about the hook – it's a happy hook." The track was recorded at Cove City Sound Studios in Glen Cove, Long Island. The track took off so unexpectedly in the fall of 1987 that Taylor was forced to complete her debut album at Cove City Sound in six weeks. Swirsky would also write, along with Arnie Roman, Dayne's follow-up single "Prove Your Love". For almost two months, only the 12-inch record of "Tell It to My Heart" with four mixes was available for purchase. That 12-inch sold 900,000 copies alone. Dayne was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal, Female for her performance on "Tell It to My Heart" in 1988.

"Tell It to My Heart" appeared in the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 the week of 14 November 1987, rising to #39 from #43. Ten weeks later, during the week of January 23, 1988, the single peaked in the number seven spot. The song was on the Hot 100 for 26 weeks.

Tracklist: 01.Alice Cooper - He's Back (The Man Behind The Mask) (3:24) 02.Alice Cooper - Billion Dollar Babies (Recorded Live) (3:20) 03.Alice Cooper - I'm Eighteen (Recorded Live) (4:33) "He's Back (The Man Behind the Mask)" is a song by American shock rock musician Alice Cooper. It was released as the lead single from his 1986 album Constrictor, and the theme song of Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives, a slasher film and sixth part of the Friday the 13th film series released in the same year. The song is heard various times throughout the film and in the end credits. Two other songs, "Teenage Frankenstein" (also from Constrictor) and "Hard Rock Summer" (which remained commercially unreleased until 1999) are also featured in the film. The song features the famous "ki-ki-ki ma-ma-ma" (admittedly in its popular misheard version, "ch-ch-ch, ha-ha-ha") sound effect, a trademark of the Friday the 13th series. "He's Back (The Man Behind the Mask)" was a minor chart success, popular among fans of Cooper's later work and enthusiasts of slasher films. It has been called "strangely new wave-ish and said to "perfectly enscapulate the Friday the 13th films and the era in which they came to prominence. The 7" single featured a "live" version of "Billion Dollar Babies" as its B-Side. The 12" single featured "Billion Dollar Babies (Recorded Live)" as well as a haunting "live" version of "I'm Eighteen". Both versions were in fact originally recorded in the studio for the Alice Cooper a Paris TV special in 1982 during the Special Forces era, which were remixed in 1986 with crowd noise to resemble "live" recordings.

It was remixed and released as the fourth single from the album Please in 1986 and became the band's second UK Top 10 hit, peaking at number 8. The song's primary inspiration is the 1984 Penelope Spheeris film Suburbia, and its depiction of violence and squalor in the suburbs of Los Angeles; in addition, the tension of the Brixton riots of 1981 and of 1985 hanging in recent memory led Neil Tennant of the duo to thinking about the boredom of suburbia and the underlying tension among disaffected youth that sparked off the riots at the least provocation. "Suburbia" was partly inspired by the film, 'Suburbia', a New World Production, produced by Roger Corman, directed by Penelope Spheeris.

Significant to the US 12 inch single release (20696-0) is the "Blind Mix". Unlike every other release of this mix worldwide, the US release fades the mix out prematurely (by a little under a minute). This abnormal mastering job was also available on the Sire Records promotional CD compilation "Hit It", and on other US releases of the remix, until the 1991 CD single box sets.

Eldritch's lyrics concern his previous band members leaving The Sisters of Mercy to form The Mission. The lead singer of The Mission, Wayne Hussey was once a guitarist for the Sisters of Mercy, and Andrew Eldritch once described his lyrics as being "a string of cliches." The lyrics of the song are meant to be a parody of Hussey's lyrics.

Le Bon has since said that "Shame" is the first part of a trilogy of songs written as a tribute to Miles, the other songs being "Ordinary World" and "Out of My Mind". The LSD Edit", a previously promo-only edit of Big Thing album tracks "The Edge Of America" and "Lake Shore Driving" finally had its commercial debut, "LSD" presumably an acronym for "Lake Shore Driving".

I just wrote "Fine Time" on this piece of paper to remind myself to go get it and thought, that's a good title." In the U.K. the single peaked at #11. "Fine Time" was a major club hit in the United States where it reached #2 on the Billboard Dance chart. The song was recorded in the Mediterranean Studios, Ibiza.

Rose McDowell from the Scottish female new wave duo Strawberry Switchblade covered the song in 1988. "Don’t Fear the Reaper" was her first aborted solo release following the break up of Strawberry Switchblade. Originally rush-released in 1988 by a collaborator and without her consent, Reaper quickly vanished and has become a highly sought after item. Track B1 is wrongly called "Crystal Days" instead of "Crystal Nights".
Tracklist: 01.Michael Sembello - Rock Until You Drop (3:08) 02.The Monster Squad - Monster Rap (3:02) Boo! Happy Halloween "The Mobster Squad" is a limited edition 7" single released by Mondo Records featuring two pop songs from the classic film The Monster Squad released in 1987 ("Rock Until You Drop" by Michael Sembello, and "Monster Squad" Rap by The Monster Squad). Neither of these tracks have ever been officially released. "Monster Rap" also features Michael Sembello on the chorus but he is not credited. The r7" was released with several alternate covers and record colors. The film features the Universal Monsters (re-imagined by a team of special effects artists, including Stan Winston), led by Count Dracula. They, in turn, combat a group of savvy kids out to keep them from controlling the world. While not being a major success during its theatrical run and receiving mixed reviews from critics, the film has gained a positive reception from audiences and has become a cult classic in the years since its release. The source material that Mondo used for this pressing was not the best I assume they could not find the original master tape. I have tried to restore this 7" to the best possible quality. Still it will be fun for a spooky night of Tricks or Treats.

The resulting collaboration produced this song and Oates has stated that if Davies had not released the song under the Icehouse name then it would have been a Hall and Oates track. The "Instrumental" and "ST Edit" are exclusive to this U.S. 12".

Tracklist: 01.a-ha - I've Been Losing You (Extended Mix) (7:02) 02.a-ha - I've Been Losing You (Dub) (4:26) 03.a-ha - This Alone Is Love (4:32) "I've Been Losing You" is a song by Norwegian band A-ha. It was the first single taken from their 1986 Scoundrel Days album. It reached number one in Norway, and number eight in the UK. It achieved worldwide sales of over 1.1 million copies. The music video was shot in a wide arena in Los Angeles. "This Alone Is Love" was the B-side, in an earlier, rawer form than the one that was re-recorded for Stay on These Roads. Both versions can be easily differentiated by their duration and the use of certain instruments. The earlier version is notable for its organ solo that sets in at 3:36 until the end of the song. The Scoundrel Days version is notable for its guitar solo. It is derived from a song by Waaktaar and Furuholmen's previous band Bridges.

The song was also a hit internationally reaching #8 in the U.K. and #29 in Netherlands.

Part of its popularity lay in its cutting-edge (for the time) video, which featured cartoon mixed with live-action sequences. The song went to number one on both the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and Hot Black Singles charts. It also peaked at number three on the UK Singles Chart. The song was also featured on the soundtrack of the 1988 film License to Drive. The short but notable saxophone solo is by Vernon Jeffrey Smith.

1986 - Olivia Newton-John - Toughen Up (US 12'')
1986 - Pet Shop Boys - Love Comes Quickly (US 12'')
Tracklist: 01.Olivia Newton-John - Toughen Up (Dance Remix) (8:04) 02.Olivia Newton-John - Toughen Up (Instrumental Remix) (5:16) "Toughen Up" was the second single taken from the thirteenth studio album "Soul Kiss" by Australian singer Olivia Newton-John. Written by Graham Lyle and Terry Britten "Toughen Up" had originally been offered to Tina Turner but was rejected. “Toughen Up” failed to make a dent on the U.S. Billboard charts but was quite popular in dance clubs due in part to a 12″ dance remix by John “Jellybean” Benitez. “Toughen Up” did chart in Australia peaking at #69. The music video opens showing a topless Olivia wearing riding pants and holding a horse whip. Olivia plays the part of a head mistress for a girls school where she teaches her female students to “Toughen Up” against the men that have done them wrong.
Tracklist: 01.Pet Shop Boys - Love Comes Quickly (Pettibone Mastermix) (7:36) 02.Pet Shop Boys - Love Comes Quickly (Dub Version) (6:56) 03.Pet Shop Boys - Love Comes Quickly (Dance Mix) (6:49) 04.Pet Shop Boys - That's My Impression (Disco Mix) (5:17) "Love Comes Quickly" is a song by UK synthpop duo Pet Shop Boys, released as the third single from their 1986 debut album Please, and the last of its singles to be released before the album itself. Although a Top 20 hit in the UK, and cited as one the band's own favourite songs, its chart performance was disappointing given that it followed the worldwide number one "West End Girls". It peaked at number 19 in the UK in March 1986. The song is about the inevitability of falling in love, even for those who deliberately shun the idea. Producer Stephen Hague receives a co-writing credit for writing the first two chords of the middle section of the song. Andy Mackay of Roxy Music plays the saxophone parts towards the end of the song. As with "Opportunities", the 12" version of the single contains remixes by 1980s producer Shep Pettibone. The remixes of "Love Comes Quickly" and "That's My Impression" reached the top ten on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart in October 1986. Later, in 2003, new remixes by Blank & Jones were produced for the promotion of the singles collection PopArt. The cover, featuring Chris Lowe in a baseball cap emblazoned with "BOY" in block letters, has become an iconic Pet Shop Boys image. Neil Tennant of the duo later recollected that he had expected the image of the cap to be the group's coming out moment, calling it "incredibly gay". Directed by Andy Morahan and Eric Watson, the video to the song is very simple, utilising facial shots of Tennant singing, interposed with blurry montages of the faces of various other people; at points, shots of Lowe, lying on top of a construction of a square grid, are superimposed over these shots. Watson would later call it a "complete disaster".
Tracklist: 01.English Boy On The Loveranch - The Man In Your Life (Gary Hart Mastermix) (8:55) 02.English Boy On The Loveranch - The Man In Your Life (Harvey Proctor Mix) (9:13) 03.English Boy On The Loveranch - The Man In Your Life (Melrose Avenue Horrormix) (0:50) "The Man In Your Life" is a 1987 12" single by Electronic band English Boy On The Loveranch which was comprised of Soft Cell’s Dave Ball, drummer the late Nick Sanderson (Clock DVA, Jesus And Mary Chain, The Gun Club) and Jamie Jones on vocals, Guy Barker on trumpet. The remix on the A-side was remixed by British post-punk and alternative rock record producer and audio engineer Flood. The short lived band only released two singles in France on the indie label New Rose Records before disappearing into the the lost 80s void.
Tracklist: 01.3 Man Island - Jack The Lad (Club Mix) (6:01) 02.3 Man Island - Jack The Lad (Rub A Dub-Dub-Dub Mix) (6:31) 03.3 Man Island - Jack The Lad (Radio Mix) (4:06) "Jack The Lad" is a 1988 single released by English trio 3 Man Island. In the United States the single was a top ten dance hit. On April 23, 1988 the single reached #10 on the Billboard Dance chart after spending eight weeks on the survey. The single also barely cracked the Billboard Hot 100 peaking at #94.
Tracklist: 01.English Boy On The Loveranch - Sex Vigilante (Deadly Weapons Mix) (7:36) 02.English Boy On The Loveranch - Sex Vigilante (Deathwish Mix) (7:13) "Sex Vigilante" was the second and final single released by English Boy On The Loveranch. Like the bands previous release "The Man In You Life" "Sex Vigilante" was also written by Dave Ball (Soft Cell) and included a remix by Flood on the A-side.
Tracklist: 01.Steve Winwood - Holding On (Dance Mix) (9:54) 02.Steve Winwood - GoJuan (Aaghh Mix) (5:07) 03.Steve Winwood - GoJuan (Groove Mix) (4:56) "Holding On" is a 1988 single by Steve Winwood from the album Roll with It. The song was written by Winwood along with Will Jennings. "Holding On" was the last of four number ones for Winwood on the Adult Contemporary chart. The single went to number one for two weeks and peaked at number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Tracklist: 01.Bros - Chocolate Box (Swing Mix) (6:16) 02.Bros - Chocolate Box (House Mix) (6:29) 03.Bros - Chocolate Box (Rap Mix) (4:24) "Chocolate Box" is a 1989 song by English band Bros released as the second single from their album The Time.

(Truth & Soul Mix) (Extended Version) (5:05) 06.Charles & Eddie - Would I Lie To You? (Bonus Beats) (3:09) "Would I Lie to You?" is an R&B song by American duo Charles & Eddie. Written by Mike Leeson and Peter Vale and produced by Josh Deutsch, "Would I Lie to You?" was the debut single by the pop-soul duo, and it proved to be their biggest hit. A major international success, it reached number one on the UK Singles Chart for two weeks in November 1992, and was also number one in New Zealand, Germany and Austria. It was a top five hit in several other European countries while in Australia and Canada it went to number 3. The single became a Top 20 hit in the US, peaking at number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 and it enjoyed award-winning sales, earning a platinum record in the UK, a gold record in both Germany and Austria and silver record award in France. The songwriters, Leeson and Vale, received the 1992 Ivor Novello award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically. Billboard wrote about the song: "Male duo is quickly picking up pop radio adds with this delightful twirl into retro-R&B territory. Rich lead vocals are supported by Motown-styled harmonies, rumbling Hammond organ fills, and an insinuating, live drum beat."

1988 - Mike + The Mechanics - Nobody's Perfect (US 12'')
Tracklist: 01.Queen - A Kind Of Magic (Extended Version) (6:25) 02.Queen - A Dozen Red Roses For My Darling (5:03) "A Kind of Magic" is the title track of the 1986 album of the same name by the British rock band Queen. It was written by the band's drummer, Roger Taylor, for the film Highlander. The single reached number three in the UK Singles Chart, top ten in a number of European countries, and #42 on the US Billboard Hot 100. The song is the opening track on the band's compilation albums, Greatest Hits II, and Classic Queen. The phrase "a kind of magic" is used in Highlander by Connor MacLeod (Christopher Lambert) as a description of his immortality. Roger Taylor liked the phrase so much that he used it as inspiration for the song. There are references to the film in the lyrics: "one prize, one goal"; "no mortal man"; and "there can be only one". The single's cover art features an image of Clancy Brown in character as the film's villain, The Kurgan. Taylor wrote the melody and chords for the version that appeared in the film, which Brian May described as "quite lugubrious and heavy". Freddie Mercury composed a new bass line, added instrumental breaks, and changed the song's order to make it more chart friendly. Mercury and David Richards produced this new version. The song was still credited only to Taylor. Whilst Taylor's version is at the end of the film, Mercury's version appears on the album. Taylor's version of A Kind of Magic did not see official release until it was included on the extra EP for the 2011 special edition of the album. The b-side track is an instrumental version of Don't Lose Your Head.
Tracklist: 01.Robert Palmer - I Didn't Mean To Turn You On (Extended Dance Mix) (6:39) 02.Robert Palmer - I Didn't Mean To Turn You On (A Cappella Beats) (2:02) 03.Robert Palmer - I Didn't Mean To Turn You On (Dub Version) (4:32) 04.Robert Palmer - Addicted To Love (LP Version) (6:00) "I Didn't Mean to Turn You On" is a song written by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis and originally performed by Cherrelle in 1984. In 1986, "I Didn't Mean to Turn You On" was covered by Robert Palmer. Palmer's cover fared better on the pop charts while Cherrelle's version was a hit on the R&B charts. Robert Palmer recorded a cover one year later and it was released as the fifth single from his 1985 album Riptide. The single hit No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1986, only behind "Amanda" by Boston, and the music video, which featured women much like the ones from "Addicted to Love", hit No. 1 on MTV on October 17, 1986. In the U.K. the single reached no. 9.
Tracklist: 01.Wa Wa Nee - I Could Make You Love Me (Metal Dance Mix) (6:51) 02.Wa Wa Nee - Meela Polarmay (Extended Mix) (5:55) R.I.P. Paul Gray 28/11/1963 ~ 24/04/2018 Australian musician Paul Gray, who shot to fame as the vocalist and songwriter for 1980s pop group Wa Wa Nee, has died. Gray, had been diagnosed with a bone marrow cancer, known as Multiple Myeloma or Kahler's Disease. He was 54 years old. He will be missed. "I Could Make You Love Me" is a song from Australian pop group Wa Wa Nee. The song was released in August 1986 as the second single from their self-titled debut studio album. The song peaked at number 5 on the Australian singles chart.
Tracklist: 01.Billy Idol - Mony Mony ("Hung Like A Pony Remix") (7:00) 02.Billy Idol - Mony Mony ("Steel Toe Cat Dub") (6:35) 03.Billy Idol - Mony Mony (Live) (4:10) 04.Billy Idol - Mony Mony (Single Edit) (5:02) "Mony Mony" is a song originally released in 1968 by American pop rock band Tommy James and the Shondells. British rock artist Billy Idol released a cover version in 1981 (on the Don't Stop EP). Along with the track "Baby Talk", Idol's version of "Mony Mony" went to #7 on the Billboard dance chart. A live recording of the song became a hit for Idol in 1987 as well, while promoting his then-forthcoming compilation work Vital Idol. The live version went to No. 1, coincidentally displacing Tiffany's cover of another Tommy James song, "I Think We're Alone Now", from the top spot. It also finished directly behind the Tiffany song at #19 in the 1987 year-end Billboard chart. Idol's version gave rise to an interesting custom. When the song was performed live in concert or played at a club or dance, people would shout a certain formulaic (and usually obscene) phrase in the two measures following each line, for example, "Hey! Get laid, get fucked!" This led to the song being banned at high-school dances across North America, although the custom continues at Idol concerts today.
Tracklist: 01.Julie Brown - Girl Fight Tonight! (Extended Brawl Mix) (6:10) 02.Julie Brown - Every Boy's Got One (Lp Version) (3:27) "Girl Fight Tonight" was the third single released by American actress, comedian, screen/television writer, singer-songwriter, and television director Julie Brown. The single was taken from Brown's debut full length album "Trapped In The Body Of A White Girl" released in 1987.
Tracklist: 01.Peter Gabriel - Biko (6:30) 02.Peter Gabriel, Shankar, Little Steven - No More Apartheid (7:11) "Biko" is an anti-apartheid protest song by English rock musician Peter Gabriel. It was released by Charisma Records as a single from Gabriel's eponymous third album in 1980. The song is a musical eulogy, inspired by the death of the black South African anti-apartheid activist Steve Biko in police custody on 12 September 1977. Gabriel wrote the song after hearing of Biko's death on the news. Influenced by Gabriel's growing interest in African musical styles, the song carried a sparse two-tone beat played on Brazilian drum and vocal percussion, in addition to a distorted guitar, and a synthesised bagpipe sound. The lyrics, which included phrases in Xhosa, describe Biko's death and the violence under the apartheid government. The song is book-ended with recordings of songs sung at Biko's funeral: the album version begins and ends with "Senzeni Na?", while the single began instead with "Ngomhla sibuyayo". "Biko" reached No. 38 on the British charts, and was positively received, with critics praising the instrumentation, the lyrics, and Gabriel's vocals. A 2013 commentary called it a "hauntingly powerful" song, while review website AllMusic described it as a "stunning achievement for its time". It was banned in South Africa, where the government saw it as a threat to security. "Biko" was a personal landmark for Gabriel, becoming one of his most popular songs and sparking his involvement in human rights activism. It also had a huge political impact, and along with other contemporary music critical of apartheid, is credited with making resistance to apartheid part of western popular culture. It inspired musical projects such as Sun City, and has been called "arguably the most significant non-South African anti-apartheid protest song". A live version, recorded in July 1987 at the Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, was released as a single later that year, to promote Richard Attenborough's Biko biopic Cry Freedom. The music video consists of clips from the film and Gabriel singing. The song did not appear in the actual film.
Tracklist: 01.Renegade Soundwave - Cocaine Sex (5:32) 02.Renegade Soundwave - Cocaine Sex (Sub-Aqua Overdrive Dub) (4:43) 03.Renegade Soundwave - Cocaine Sex (Turbo Lust Mix) (6:54) 04.Renegade Soundwave - Bonus Porno Beats (2:44) "Cocaine Sex" was the second single released by electronic music group. Formed in London in 1986, Renegade Soundwave. The single was released on Mute Records subsidiary Rhythm King in 1987. Renegade Soundwave applied the punk and industrial ethic to both dub and dancefloor electronica, in good company with fellow sound terrorists throughout the decade, from Cabaret Voltaire to Skinny Puppy and Meat Beat Manifesto. The group consisted of Gary Asquith, Danny Briottet and Carl Bonnie. As a further note: The versions of "Cocaine Sex (Sub-Aqua Overdrive Dub)" and "Bonus Porno Beats" on the subsequent 1992 CD single re-release, are noticeably sped-up and, consequently, shorter than they appear here.
Tracklist: 01.Kon Kan - I Beg Your Pardon (Club Mix) (6:40) 02.Kon Kan - I Beg Your Pardon (Instrumental Remix) (5:42) 03.Kon Kan - I Beg Your Pardon (Radio) (4:00) 04.Kon Kan - I Beg Your Pardon (In The Green - House Mix) (Theb-4We Re-Mixitmix) (7:45) 05.Kon Kan - I Beg Your Pardon (Bonus Beats) (3:28) 06.Kon Kan - I Beg Your Pardon (Percapella) (3:27) "I Beg Your Pardon" (also titled as "I Beg Your Pardon [I Never Promised You a Rose Garden]") is a song by Canadian synthpop band Kon Kan, released as the first single from their 1988 debut album Move to Move. The song contains various samples of other songs, including Lynn Anderson's 1970 hit "Rose Garden", as well as samples of GQ's "Disco Nights (Rock-Freak)" and Silver Convention's "Get Up and Boogie". Recreated samples of Spagna's "Call Me" and the opening bars of the theme from the film The Magnificent Seven are also present in the song. The song was a hit, reaching the top twenty in a number of countries including the UK, where it peaked at #5.

Tracklist: 01.Bananarama - Venus (The Hellfire Mix) (9:20) 02.Bananarama - Venus (Fire & Brimstone Mix) (6:44) 03.Bananarama - Venus (Extended Version) (7:26) 04.Bananarama - Venus (Dub Version) (8:17) "Venus" is a 1969 song written by Dutch musician Robbie van Leeuwen. In 1970, the Dutch rock band Shocking Blue took the song to number one in nine countries. In 1986, the British female pop group Bananarama returned the song to number one in seven countries. "Venus" had been a part of Bananarama's repertoire for several years before they actually recorded it. The group's three members, Sara Dallin, Siobhan Fahey, and Keren Woodward, had the idea of turning the song into a dance music tune, but they were met with resistance from their producers at the time, Steve Jolley and Tony Swain. Bananarama brought the idea to the production trio of Stock Aitken Waterman, and it became Bananarama's first collaboration with them. Dallin, Fahey, and Woodward had nearly completed recording their third album, titled True Confessions, with Jolley and Swain. Stock, Aitken and Waterman also resisted the idea because they believed that "Venus" would not make a good dance record. After persistence by the women, SAW relented. Bananarama's "Venus" went to number one in the US, Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland, Mexico, and South Africa. It hit number two in Germany and Hong Kong and was a top ten success in Italy, Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Portugal, Spain, and their native UK (number 8 on UK Singles Chart). It also went to number one for two weeks on the US Dance chart. The collaboration on "Venus" led Bananarama and SAW to work together on the group's follow-up album Wow! the following year. The music video, directed by Peter Care, with choreography by Bruno Tonioli, received extensive play on MTV and video channels across the world, and presented Bananarama in various costumes, including a she-devil, a French temptress, a vampiress, and several Greek goddesses. In one sequence of the video, The Birth of Venus, the painting by Sandro Botticelli is adapted as a tableau vivant. The video marked a pivotal shift towards a more glamorous and sexual image for the girls that contrasted with the tomboyish style of their earlier work.

The song is the first song by an all-female group playing their own instruments to top the Billboard singles chart. The success of the song and "Manic Monday" propelled Different Light to number two on the Billboard 200 chart, making it the group's most successful album. "Walk Like an Egyptian" was one of the songs which were claimed to have been banned by Clear Channel following the September 11, 2001 attacks.

The Fine Young Cannibals' music video for the song was filmed in black & white, and remains so for the majority of the song. However, the video is noted for its innovative use of colorization, following the bridge section of the song. The video pays its homage to Elvis, both in its use of the monochrome filming (common during Elvis' early career) and the shiny spangled suits that the band wear in the second half of the video. In the United States the single reached No. 23 on the Billboard Dance chart on June 28, 1986.

The Pet Shop Boys' performance was so well-received that the duo decided to record the song and release it as a single. This version became the UK's Christmas number one single that year. It went on to top the charts for four weeks in total, and reached number four on the US Billboard Hot 100. In November 2004, The Daily Telegraph newspaper placed the version at number two in a list of the fifty greatest cover versions of all time.

It featured an extended version by Julian Mendelsohn and a more drastic remix by Phil Harding, as well as various edits and a beatless “dub”. Harding’s remix at one point changes key and transforms into a house version, introduced by Neil Tennant’s specially recorded vocal line “You were always in my house.” This version was later used as the basis for a reworked production of the song for the album “Pet Shop Boys - Introspective”. The success of the initial single in late ’87/early ’88 prompted the filming of extra scenes for the song’s last-minute inclusion in the Pet Shop Boys musical art/spoof film “It Couldn’t Happen Here”, dialogue from which is heard at the end of Julian Mendelsohn’s remix. It also prompted a repackaging of the album “Actually” with the “Always On My Mind” promo single as a bundle. The 7: Instrumental ios exclusive to the U.S. 12" promo and has not appeared on CD.

In 1986, the British TV show Blue Peter featured a special documentary on the making of the "Hunting High and Low" video.
Tracklist: 01.Glass Tiger - Thin Red Line (Rather Red Mix) (6:11) 02.Glass Tiger - Thin Red Line (Really Red Mix) (6:07) 03.Glass Tiger - Thin Red Line (Album Version) (4:51) "Thin Red Line" was the second single released by Canadian band Glass Tiger from their debut album The Thin Red Line.

Tracklist: 01.Information Society - Running (Vocal Remix) (7:42) 02.Information Society - Running (Percapella) (3:56) 03.Information Society - Running (Instrumental) (5:27) 04.Information Society - Running ("The Nest" Remix) (7:44) "Running" is the debut single by American band Information Society. This 12" is the third released by the band after they were signed to Tommy Boy Records. Producer Joey Gardner heard the song and brought it to Tommy Boy Records, a forward-thinking label that specialized in rap and freestyle. Gardner remixed the track for Tommy Boy, which released the song as a single in 1986. The song did well in dance clubs and on radio, earning the group an album deal with Tommy Boy. That self-titled album was released in 1988 and included the track. Group founder Paul Robb wrote this song with Murat Konar, who was associated with Information Society for just a short time but was key in putting together Creatures Of Influence. Like most of the songs on the album, Konar handled the lead vocals. When Tommy Boy Records remixed the track they replaced Konar's vocals with Kurt Harland's, since Harland had emerged as lead singer and Konar had moved on to other pursuits. The longing lyric finds the singer in real pain and feeling very alone. In an interview with Paul Robb, he explained: "It's basically someone who is in a relationship where it's not working, and you have a sense of things falling apart. You're doing your best to keep it together, but it doesn't seem to be working. There's also a certain level of nostalgia in that song, too - that's what really hooked a lot of people. It does have that monstrously huge dance beat, the electro feel, but the song that's laid over the top is very romantic and nostalgic sounding." After being remixeed the re-issue of "Running" peaked at #10 on the U.S. Billboard Dance Chart on July 21, 1986 after spending nine weeks on the survey. **The 12" was housed in the same picture sleeve as the previous 1985 release except with an orange Tommy Boy Records hype sticker added.
Tracklist: 01.Ric Ocasek - Emotion In Motion (Edit Version) (3:57) 02.Ric Ocasek - P.F.J. (3:40) "Emotion in Motion" is a song by Ric Ocasek, the main songwriter and lead vocalist for The Cars. It was featured on his second solo album, This Side of Paradise, and released as a single in late 1986. The tune topped the Album Rock Tracks chart and reached number 15 on the Billboard Hot 100. It was Ocasek's only U.S. top 40 hit as a solo artist. In Australia the song peaked at #8 on the Kent Music Report. Ocasek was a founding member, lead singer and principal songwriter of the new wave rock band The Cars. Following the group's 1985 Greatest Hits release, its members split up to pursue solo projects. Lead guitarist Elliot Easton released a solo album in 1985, and both Ocasek and singer/bassist Benjamin Orr did the same in 1986. Just as "Emotion in Motion" was Ocasek's only solo song to reach the Top 40, Orr's "Stay the Night" was the latter's only solo Top 40 hit. The band reunited to record 1987's Door to Door, which produced "You Are the Girl", the group's last Top 40 single.
Tracklist: 01.Bee Gees - You Win Again (Extended Remix) (5:15) 02.Bee Gees - Backtafunk (LP Version) (4:22) "You Win Again" is a 1987 song written by Barry, Robin & Maurice Gibb and performed by the Bee Gees. Released as a single in late 1987, it marked the start of the group's comeback, becoming a No. 1 hit in many European countries, including the UK—their first to do so in over eight years, and made them the first group to score a UK No. 1 hit in each of three decades: the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. As songwriters, the Gibb brothers received the 1987 British Academy's Ivor Novello award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically. In 1988, the band received a Brit Award nomination for Best British Group. In a UK television special on ITV in December 2011, it was voted second (behind "How Deep Is Your Love") in "The Nation's Favourite Bee Gees Song". "You Win Again" was a No. 1 single in Britain, Ireland, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Denmark and Norway, as well as making the top 10 in Italy, the Netherlands, Australia and Sweden. It also topped the Eurochart for four weeks. When the song reached No. 1 on 17 October 1987 in the UK, it made the Bee Gees the first group to score a UK No. 1 hit in each of three decades: the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. "You Win Again" entered the UK Singles Chart in September at No. 87, eventually staying at No. 1 for four weeks keeping off George Michael's single "Faith".

Tracklist: 01.Cyndi Lauper - Boy Blue (Remix) (3:56) 02.Cyndi Lauper - The Faraway Nearby (3:00) "Boy Blue" is a pop song written by Cyndi Lauper, Stephen Broughton Lunt, and Jeff Bova for Lauper's second album True Colors (1986). It was released as the album's fourth single in 1987. The single version is a remix (which cuts much of Lauper's more impressive vocal wailing, presumably in effort to make it more commercially accessible). Charting at #71 on the US Billboard Hot 100, it was Lauper's first solo single that failed to make a real impact on the charts. Proceeds from the sale of the single were donated to AIDS organizations. The official video was a live clip of the song in Paris, France and it was pulled from the concert video Cyndi Lauper in Paris. The video received heavy airplay on MTV when the single was released (during June and July 1987) and was rarely played after. A live version of "Boy Blue" was later released as the B-side of her single "Hole in My Heart (All the Way to China)". Thematically like "True Colors" on the album, Lauper wrote this song for a friend who died of AIDS, and the title comes from a poem by Eugene Field called "Little Boy Blue".
Tracklist: 01.Mick Jagger - Let's Work (Dance Mix) (7:20) 02.Mick Jagger - Let's Work (Edit) (5:06) 03.Mick Jagger - Catch As Catch Can (5:21) "Let's Work" was the lead single from Mick Jagger's second solo album, Primitive Cool.

"Walking Away" is the second single from the band's eponymous album. "Walking Away" reached No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 15 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart. The music video was directed by Mark Pellington. The song contains samples of William Shatner as James T. Kirk saying "It is useless to resist us" from the Star Trek episode, "Mirror, Mirror", and James Doohan as Scotty saying "Let's Go See!" from the Star Trek episode, "Wolf in the Fold". ** The clicks and pops on "Make It Funkier (Boot It Up Vocal)" are intentinal and are supposed to be there.
Tracklist: 01.Information Society - What's On Your Mind (Pure Energy) (Club Mix) (8:00) 02.Information Society - What's On Your Mind (Pure Energy) (The 54 Mix) (5:12) 03.Information Society - What's On Your Mind (Pure Energy) (Percappella) (4:11) 04.Information Society - What's On Your Mind (Pure Energy) (Pure Energy Mix) (4:35) 05.Information Society - What's On Your Mind (Pure Energy) (What's On Your Dub Mix) (6:26) "What's on Your Mind (Pure Energy)" is a song by American synth-pop band Information Society that was released as a single in 1988. The "Pure Energy" subtitle derives from a sample of Leonard Nimoy's voice from the Star Trek episode "Errand of Mercy". There is also a sample of DeForest Kelley's voice from the episode "I, Mudd". John Leland of Spin magazine called it a "pretty potent dance record". In 2009, VH1 ran a countdown of the 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders of the '80s. Information Society's "What's on Your Mind (Pure Energy)" placed at number 74 on the countdown despite the fact that the group had two other top 40 hits: "Walking Away" (number 9) and "Think" (number 28). The song was a big hit in the US, spending 25 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number three in October 1988. The song was featured in Loverboy and American Psycho. A remixed version was included in American Psycho's soundtrack. In 1989, Pittsburgh radio station WYDD-FM executed an early viral marketing plan by playing this song non-stop in a loop for 25.5 hours — focusing on a repeat of the "Pure Energy" sample from Leonard Nimoy as Star Trek's Mr. Spock. The marketing stunt caused listeners to call emergency services, concerned that some calamity had befallen the DJs and other station employees. Bob Hank, general manager at the time, told reporters he was only trying to draw attention to the station's switch in format and new call letters WNRJ (W-N-R-J = "energy"). "We were just trying to draw a little bit of attention," Hank said. "We never dreamed it would go this far". The song also samples Star Trek in the intro, with the character Dr. McCoy saying "it's worked so far, but we're not out yet."

Tracklist: 01.Gerard McMann - Cry Little Sister (Theme From The Lost Boys) (4:44) 02.Tim Cappello - I Still Believe (4:50) "Cry Little Sister" is a song written by Gerard McMahon (under the pseudonym Gerard McMann) and Michael Mainieri, and performed by McMahon for the soundtrack to the 1987 film The Lost Boys, which peaked at number 15 on the Billboard 200. The original song failed to chart, although it charted in Australia and the United Kingdom in 2003 when the track was remixed. The song was predominantly composed by McMahon, who said that its refrain was "brewing in my head with the choir as a chorus backing me. That all seemed to come within half an hour. [Producer] Mike Mainieri had this hypnotic beat, we refined it together and my melody and chords melted right into it. Then I wrote the lyrics within an hour or two [and] recorded the demo". Despite appearing on the soundtrack to The Lost Boys, the song's lyrics do not specifically reference vampires, as it was composed before McMahon had seen any footage from the film. After hearing the track, director Joel Schumacher commented: "You nailed my theme song to The Lost Boys! I can't believe you wrote this without seeing a frame of film!". McMahon additionally explained: "I always say that if I'd have seen the film first, I would probably not have written 'Cry Little Sister'. I didn't want the song to be specific to the vampire. I wanted it to be about the longing for family from a rejected youth's perspective, which I went through myself and that many of us have felt."

It is the title track from her third studio album True Blue (1986), and was released as the album's third single on September 17, 1986 by Sire Records. Written and produced by Madonna and Steve Bray, the song deals with Madonna's feelings for her then-husband Sean Penn. A dance-pop song, it features instrumentation from a rhythm guitar, a synthesizer, keyboards, and drums. The main chorus is backed by an alternate one, incorporating a chord progression generally found in doo-wop music. Received by the critics as a light-hearted and cute retro song, "True Blue" topped the charts in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Canada and became another consecutive top-ten song in the United States for Madonna, by reaching number three on the Billboard Hot 100. The original music video portrayed her again with a new look, leaner and sporting platinum blond bushy hair. An alternate video was made through the "Make My Video" contest on MTV. The final selected videos had a similar theme of a 1950s-inspired setting and the storyline following the lyrics of the song. "True Blue" has been performed on the Who's That Girl World Tour (1987) and the Rebel Heart Tour (2015–2016).

It reached number 7 on the UK Singles Chart. Written by Chris Lowe and Neil Tennant, influenced by Latin pop and apparently also by the song "Elle est comme les étoiles" by Desireless, the song was produced by Lewis A. Martinée, the Miami-based producer behind 1980s freestyle groups like Exposé. The song was also recorded at Martinée's studio in Miami, resulting in a considerably large number of studio musicians for a Pet Shop Boys song being featured on it. The duo had achieved three number ones in 1987–1988 and Domino Dancing was expected to continue this success. But the public reception to the duo's new Latin sound proved disappointing. Tennant remembers: "...it entered the charts at number nine and I thought, 'that's that, then - it's all over'. I knew then that our imperial phase of number one hits was over." The single missed the top ten on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at #18, and was the duo's sixth and, to date, last Top 20 pop hit in the USA. (In fact, they have not made the top 60 since Domino Dancing.) The song did reach #5 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart, where the duo have seen more consistent success.

Furthermore, the single was a hit overseas, going to number-one in Switzerland, number four in Germany, and number eight on the UK Singles chart.

Originally composed by Patrick Leonard for the score of the film Fire with Fire, the instrumental was shown to Madonna, who decided to use it for then-husband Sean Penn's film At Close Range. Madonna wrote all the lyrics, co-composed the melodies, and co-produced it with Leonard. The song was released as the lead single from True Blue on March 26, 1986 by Sire Records. A pop ballad, the song includes instrumentation from guitars, keyboards, drums and a synthesizer, and its lyrics deal with deceit, mistrust and childhood scars.

The music video, directed by James Foley, shows Madonna's first image makeover, featuring her with a cleaner look, shoulder-length wavy golden blond hair, conservative wardrobe and subtle make-up. This toned down blond appearance was inspired by Marilyn Monroe, a performer Madonna had previously been influenced by. "Live to Tell" was generally well received by music critics, who frequently referred to it as the best ballad of her career. It was also a commercial success, becoming Madonna's third number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100 and her first number-one on the Adult Contemporary chart.

It is also the title track on their second album, The Circus. The album version clocks at 5.30 minutes, so the song was remixed for single release to a much more radio-friendly 3:50 minutes. Mute Records issued it as the fourth and final single from the album. Written by Erasure members Vince Clarke and Andy Bell, "The Circus" was a departure from the shiny pop of their six previous singles, creating a more down-tempo and melancholy mood. Essentially a synthpop track, the music is accentuated by acoustic guitar and a continuous circus-like accordion. The lyrics touch on social issues, rare for the duo, and centre on the lament of "working men", whose bright futures and job securities are left shattered in the modern world of greedy corporations and technology. The song's distinctive and unusual sound is said to have been inspired by Bell hearing a record being played backwards. Despite its haunting quality and dark lyrical content, "The Circus" became Erasure's third UK Top 10 hit, peaking at number six.

It was released as the first single from the album on March 27, 1990, by Sire Records. Madonna was inspired by vogue dancers and choreographers Jose Gutierez Xtravaganza and Luis Xtravaganza from the Harlem "House Ball" community, the origin of the dance form, and they introduced "Vogueing" to her at the Sound Factory club in New York City. "Vogue" is an upbeat house song which set trends in dance music in the 1990s. However, it also has strong influences of 1970s disco within its composition. "Vogue" also contains a spoken section, in which the singer name-checks various golden-era Hollywood celebrities. Lyrically, the song is about enjoying oneself on the dance floor no matter who one is, and it contains a theme of escapism. Critically, "Vogue" has been met with appreciation ever since its release; reviewers have praised its anthemic nature and listed it as one of the singer's career highlights. Commercially, the song remains one of Madonna's biggest international hits, topping the charts in over 30 countries, including Australia, Canada, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. It became the world's best-selling single of 1990, selling over six million copies. The music video for "Vogue", directed by David Fincher, was shot in black-and-white and takes stylistic inspiration from the 1920s and 1930s. Madonna and her dancers can be seen voguing to different choreographed moves. The video has been ranked as one of the greatest of all time in different critic lists and polls and won three awards at the 1990 MTV Video Music Awards out of a total of nine nominations. Madonna has performed the song on six of her tours, at the 1990 MTV Video Music Awards, and at her performance during the halftime show of Super Bowl XLVI. The song has also been featured on the soundtrack of The Devil Wears Prada, as well as in "The Power of Madonna" episode of the Fox show Glee. Writers and critics have noted the video and the song's influence in bringing an underground subculture into mainstream popular culture through the postmodern nature of her power and influence, as well as the way in which it followed a new trend in which dance music enjoyed widespread popularity.

Tracklist: 01.Diana Ross - Love Hangover '89 (12" Version) (8:00) 02.Diana Ross - Love Hangover '89 (Urban Remix) (6:51) 03.Diana Ross - Love Hangover '89 (Dance Mix) (7:18) "Love Hangover" was the fourth number one single for Motown singer Diana Ross. Ross originally recorded "Love Hangover" in 1975. It was released in March 1976, and rose to number one on the Billboard Hot 100, Hot Soul Singles and Hot Dance Club Play charts simultaneously. The song was written by Pamela Sawyer and Marilyn McLeod as a disco number. Producer Hal Davis recorded the instrumental track in 1975 thinking it ideal for Marvin Gaye or Diana Ross, who were his two favorite vocalists to work with. He thought Diana would be sexier on it, so he recorded the song with her. Studio musicians included James Gadson on drums, Henry E. Davis (of the band L.T.D.) on bass, and Joe Sample on keyboards. Hal Davis instructed the song's engineer Russ Terrana to install a strobe light so that Ross could be in the "disco" mindset. As the song changed from ballad to uptempo, Ross became more comfortable with the material; she hummed, sang bit parts, laughed, danced around and even imitated Billie Holiday. The carefree and sensual nature of Ross' vocals and the music's direction helped to sell the song, in addition to the background vocals relying heavily on Donna Summer's 1975 hit "Love to Love You Baby". In 1989 Motown re-released the song as "Love Hangover '89" with brand new remixes by PWL team Phil Harding & Ian Curnow. This version peaked at #3 on the Billboard Dance chart on April 8, 1989 after spending nine weeks on the survey.

Tracklist: 01.Arcadia - The Flame (Extended Remix) (7:16) 02.Arcadia - Flame Game (Yo Homeboy Mix) (2:48) 03.Arcadia - Election Day (Early Rough Mix) (9:05) "The Flame" is the fourth single released by the Duran Duran offshoot band, Arcadia. It was released by Parlophone Records in 1986 and was the group's third UK single. It reached number 58 in the UK Singles Chart. In the U.S. the single was released on Capitol Records and did not chart. The campy, slapstick video was made in the retro style of an Edwardian-era drawing room murder mystery, à la Agatha Christie and Alfred Hitchcock. The storyline revolved around a series of comic disasters that befall an awkward, nerdish character (played by Simon Le Bon) and his girlfriend while visiting a haunted house. Nick Rhodes plays the debonair host of the dinner party at the house, and he frequently uses Le Bon as his comic stooge for a number of macabre and mildly sadistic sight gags. Various unsavory bits of business ensue with revolving walls, trapdoors and mysterious assassins hidden behind paintings and within exotic taxidermied animals. The slapstick comic interplay between Rhodes and Le Bon is faintly reminiscent of Abbott and Costello. At one point, John Taylor (at the time a member of The Power Station, the other Duran Duran side project) comes out of the closet with a contract for the band to sign. This is an especially pointed inside joke, as it was around this time that the three remaining Duran Duran members were preparing to write and record their next album, Notorious, while in legal negotiations with their now-estranged guitarist Andy Taylor. The video's treatment is said to have been written by Rhodes and the various near-fatal pratfalls that occur to Le Bon's character was intended as punishment for his decision to enter the Fastnet yachting race that almost cost him his life in August 1985. In fact, Le Bon was in the middle of the South American leg of the 1986 Whitbread Round the World yacht race when he had to fly to Spain in April to shoot the video. He then flew straight back to rejoin his team in Uruguay. The video was directed by longtime collaborator Russell Mulcahy.

"La Bamba" has been covered by numerous artists, most notably by Los Lobos, whose version was the title track of the 1987 film La Bamba and reached No. 1 in the U.S. and UK singles charts in the same year. Due to the popularity of the Los Lobos version and the 1987 biographical film "La Bamba" starring Lou Diamond Phillips there was new intrest in the song. Del-Fi Records, best known for recording Ritchie Valens from 1958 until his death in the February 1959 plane crash, released a 1987 remix which enlisted the expertise of Bob Keane, the producer of the original hit, to produce a new version of "La Bamba".

The song was released as the first single from the band's third album, Everything. It reached the top five of the US singles chart, and also charted in Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. According to songwriter Billy Steinberg, "In Your Room" was written in the same batch of songs as "Eternal Flame". Steinberg recalled, "The Bangles" liked everything from Petula Clark to The Beatles and all the Sixties music they loved. So when we got together to write with Susanna it was right up our alley because of course Tom and I grew up in the sixties and that was what we loved. So we had that in common with Susanna". He added that the song's style was somewhat similar to "Mony Mony", the 1968 hit single by Tommy James and the Shondells. Released in October 1988, "In Your Room" entered the Billboard Hot 100 the following month and peaked at number five in January. It reached number four on the Singles Sales chart, number nine on the Hot 100 Airplay chart, and number five on the Modern Rock chart. The song also peaked at number 11 in New Zealand, number 41 in Australia, and number 35 in the United Kingdom. AllMusic writer Matthew Greenwald praised the band's rhythm section for the song's chorus and bridge sections, and noted that the song's lyrics were ideal for Hoffs' "kittenish sexuality". Rolling Stone writer Jim Freek said "In Your Room" was perhaps the band's best song to be released after their debut album. In the United States and Canada exclusive remixes were released on 12" vinyl. Track B2 actually plays a 7" Instrumental Version, not the 12" Instrumental as stated on labels.

They were released together as a double A-side single on 13 November 1989 through Silvertone Records. "Fools Gold" would go on to appear on certain non-UK versions of their self-titled debut studio album (1989). "Fools Gold" became the band's biggest commercial hit at the time. It was their first single to reach the top ten of the UK Singles Chart and stayed in the top-75 for fourteen weeks, peaking at number eight. "Fools Gold" and "What the World Is Waiting For" were recorded at Sawmills Studios in Cornwall during the late summer of 1989, with additional vocal and guitar parts recorded later at London's Battery Studios, during the autumn of 1989. The tracks had been worked on for four months, and the intention was to put "What the World Is Waiting For" as the A side; however, when Roddy Mckenna, Silvertone's A&R man, heard "Fools Gold" he urged the band to use that as the A-side. The band were not completely convinced, and it was agreed, instead, to release the two tracks as a double A-side. "Fools Gold" has been described as a Madchester and dance-rock song. The dance-oriented song showcased the rhythm section of Mani on bass and Reni on percussion. Ian Brown stated the song was written over "The Funky Drummer" by James Brown, which Reni had to learn the beat from. John Squire also plays guitar with various wah-wah pedal effects. Ian Brown sings the vocals in a whispered delivery. He would also perform with this technique for the track "Something's Burning". The bassline was inspired by "Know How" by Young MC, which is a sample from the Shaft theme song, performed by Isaac Hayes. The lyrics reference Nancy Sinatra's "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'" and Marquis de Sade. The verses were inspired by John Huston's 1948 film adaptation of The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. The single was released in 1989 and entered the UK top ten. It was promoted with a music video, showing The Stone Roses performing outdoors and walking across the volcanic landscape of Lanzarote, Canary Islands. The cover art was a painting by John Squire, "Double Dorsal Dopplegänger", which was later exhibited at Squire's 2004 art exhibition. In the United States the single reached #27 on the Billboard Dance chart and #5 on the Nodern Ruck chart.

Two videos were filmed for the song. The North American version was directed by Andy Morahan featured the girls singing the song in a house at night, with their images projected on movie screens. The release of the single in the UK was delayed until February 1987, so that Bananarama could participate in a BBC television show called In at the Deep End. Each week Chris Serle or Paul Heiney would have to master a new skill - in this case, Paul Heiney had to master the art of directing a pop music video (the episode was similar to MTV's Making the Video programme) for this song. Group members Sara Dallin, Siobhan Fahey and Keren Woodward hated the final product.
Tracklist: 01.Berlin - Like Flames (Extended Version) (7:02) 02.Berlin - Trash (3:40) 03.Berlin - You Don't Know (Extended Version) (5:32) 16Bit "Like Flames" is a song by American band Berlin released in 1986 as the lead-off single of their third album Count Three & Pray. Berlin worked with Canadian producer Bob Ezrin on the album. The producer, best known for his work with Alice Cooper and KISS, gave the record a radically different '80s pop-rock guitar sound than Berlin's previous releases, which had a more new wave/synth-pop sound. Berlin singer Terri Nunn and their label, Geffen Records, were approving of the change of sound, but it did not sit well with founding member John Crawford and drummer Rob Brill, who wrote the song. The recording of the album wasn't a relaxed affair, as differences of opinion between band members plagued the recording sessions. These clashes were further exacerbated by the recording of the group's previous single, the worldwide #1 hit "Take My Breath Away" from the soundtrack of the film Top Gun, which Nunn was eager to record, while the other two members were not excited about due to the song not being written by them (it was written and produced by Giorgio Moroder), and with a sound not representative of the band. "Like Flames" was released as the lead-off single from the album in October 1986 and, following up "Take My Breath Away", a #1 record in September of that year, was expected to do well. However, the record and the album did not find chart success, peaking at #82 in the US and becoming their last chart hit in that country. In Europe, the record performed better on the strength of "Take My Breath Away", reaching the top 20 in several countries, but still it was only a moderate hit. In the UK, "Like Flames" was released as the second single off the album in March 1987, following "You Don't Know", which was released as the next single elsewhere. It peaked at #47 there. Nunn has blamed the lack of success to the sudden change of style for the band, which alienated their established fanbase of their synth-pop albums, and failing to gain new fans from their new-found fame with "Take My Breath Away", because the album sounded nothing like it, although the hit song was included on the album at the insistence of Geffen to capitalize on its success. The record's lack of success and their internal clashes eventually led to the demise of the band in 1987.
Tracklist: 01.Culture Club - Move Away (Extended Version) (7:25) 02.Culture Club - Sexuality (Tango Dub Remix Version) (10:34) "Move Away" is a 1986 song by the British band Culture Club. Taken as the lead single from their fourth album, From Luxury to Heartache, the song became the group's eighth top-ten hit on the UK Singles Chart, peaking at number seven. It reached number twelve on the Billboard Hot 100, the song was popular on US radio and the music video received healthy airplay on MTV during the spring of 1986 and was also their last single to reach the Top 40 in the US. It also reached the top ten in various other countries including Canada (#4), Italy (#10) and Australia (#10). The song was produced by Lew Hahn and Arif Mardin (the latter a producer for Chaka Khan and Aretha Franklin in the 80s). "Move Away" was the only single from the album to reach the top-ten in the UK and would be the band's last UK top 10 hit until 1998's "I Just Wanna Be Loved". The video-clip for the song, which cast Boy George and Jon Moss as silent film-stars racing cars across a black/white movie screen, was filmed at the Brixton Academy, London. George's friend Alice Temple can also be seen in the video. The song was featured in the background of a 1986 episode of the US daytime soap opera General Hospital. In 1986, Boy George sang the song in a guest-starring role in an episode of the television series The A-Team entitled "Cowboy George".

It is the second Depeche Mode single with Martin Gore on lead vocals, after "Somebody", and the first to be released in its own right.

In Canada, the single made a brief appearance on the chart, peaking at #81. "Jody" was inspired by Jody Watley of American music group Shalamar, for which Stewart had been a backing vocalist and dancer in the early 1980s. Watley went on to co-write two singles on Stewart's 1988 follow-up album, Say It Again: "Don't Talk Dirty to Me" and "Is It Really Love?," both of them with her husband of the time André Cymone, who co-produced and performed on the album.

It matched its predecessor's top position on the Hot Dance Music/Maxi-Singles Sales chart but was less successful in pop charts, peaking at number 35 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 14 on the Hot Dance Club Songs. "We Connect" was promoted on the television series The Facts of Life in the episode "A Star is Torn" in which Stacey Q portrayed the role of Cinnamon. "We Connect" was issued as a single release in several territories where "Two of Hearts" had been a hit with impact evident only in Australia where "We Connect" matched the #7 peak of "Two of Hearts".
Tracklist: 01.The Rolling Stones - Harlem Shuffle (NY Mix) (6:35) 02.The Rolling Stones - Harlem Shuffle (London Mix) (6:19) 16Bit "Harlem Shuffle" is an R&B song written and originally recorded by the duo Bob & Earl in 1963.

The Rolling Stones' cover version, with Bobby Womack on backing vocals, appeared on their 1986 album Dirty Work, and went to #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and #13 in the UK. Keith Richards had been looking for songs to possibly include on the album and had been working up songs with Ronnie Wood and Womack while waiting for Jagger to return to the studio in Paris after doing promo work on his solo album. To Richards' surprise, Jagger liked the feel and cut the vocals quickly. It became the first cover song the Stones had released as an opening single off a new studio album since 1965.

Tracklist: 01.Madonna - La Isla Bonita (Extended Remix) (5:24) 02.Madonna - La Isla Bonita (Instrumental) (5:18) 16Bit "La Isla Bonita" (Spanish pronunciation: [la ˈizla βoˈnita]; English: "The Beautiful Island") is a song by American singer Madonna from her third studio album True Blue (1986). She and Patrick Leonard co-wrote and co-produced the song, and Bruce Gaitsch provided additional songwriting. Sire Records released it as the album's final single on February 25, 1987. The instrumental version of the song was first offered to Michael Jackson before Madonna both accepted it and wrote the lyrics and melody. "La Isla Bonita" is noted for being the first Madonna song to contain Latino influences, with arrangements of Cuban drums and Spanish guitar, maracas, harmonicas and a mix of synthesized and real drumming. The lyrics of the song tell about a "beautiful island" and according to Madonna, was a tribute to the beauty of the Latinos. Following its release, "La Isla Bonita" received a positive reception from critics. It also became Madonna's fourth number-one single in the United Kingdom, giving her the record for most number-one singles for a female artist. The track additionally topped the charts in Austria, Canada, France, Germany, Iceland, and Switzerland while reaching the top five in Belgium, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, and the United States.
Tracklist: 01.New Order - True Faith (Remix) (9:02) 02.New Order - Paradise (Remix) (6:41) 03.New Order - True Dub (10:44) “True Faith” is a song by New Order, co-written and co-produced by the band and Stephen Hague. It was the first New Order single since their debut “Ceremony” to be issued in the UK as two separate 12″ singles. The second 12″ single features two remixes of “True Faith” by Shep Pettibone. The single peaked at number four in the United Kingdom on its original release in 1987. The single also became the first New Order single to chart on the Hot 100 in the United States that same year and their first ever Top 40 hit, peaking at number 32. As is the case for many New Order songs, the words in the title do not appear anywhere in the lyrics. The original lyrics included a verse that read “Now that we’ve grown up together/They’re taking drugs with me”. Hague convinced Sumner to change the latter line to “They’re afraid of what they see” because he was worried that otherwise it would not get played on the radio. When performing the song live, the band have always used the original line. “True Faith” was used in the opening nightclub scene in Mary Harron’s film adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis’s novel American Psycho and in James Bridges’s 1988 film adaptation of Jay McInerney’s novel Bright Lights, Big City. It also appears at the end of the 14th episode of the third season of the American TV series Queer as Folk and in the season finale of the first season of the series The Vampire Diaries. The US and UK 7″ and 12″ singles contain the song “1963” as the b-side, however the Australian 12″ contains a remix of “Paradise” from the album Brotherhood.
Tracklist: 01.Yello Featuring Billy Mackenzie - The Rhythm Divine (Version Two) (5:50) 02.Yello - Dr. Van Steiner (Instrumental) (4:00) 03.Yello Featuring Shirley Bassey - The Rhythm Divine (Original 7" Version) (3:34) "The Rhythm Divine" is a 1987 song by Yello, and Billy Mackenzie.

Dieter Meier of the Swiss Electro-group Yello, approached Shirley Bassey in 1987 regarding a possible collaboration. "The Rhythm Divine" was said to have been written specially with her voice in mind. The track was produced by Yello with Hubertus Von Hohenlohe as co-producer. Bassey's vocals were recorded at Yello's studio in Zurich. The song blends the electro-pop sound of the 1980s with a classic big Bassey ballad and introduced Shirley Bassey to a younger generation.
Tracklist: 01.Bobby Brown - Don't Be Cruel (Extended Version) (6:50) 02.Bobby Brown - Don't Be Cruel (Dub) (5:32) 03.Bobby Brown - Don't Be Cruel (A Cappella) (3:22) 16Bit "Don't Be Cruel" is a song recorded by American singer Bobby Brown. Taken from his second and most successful album as its title track, the song was written and produced by the songwriting and production duo Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds and Antonio "L.A." Reid, with additional writing by Daryl Simmons. "Don't Be Cruel" was Brown's second single to reach the top position of the R&B chart where it remained for two weeks. As a pop crossover, it rose from number 59 to number 49, on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, the week of August 13, 1988 but it took two months to finally peak at number eight the week of October 15, 1988.

Tracklist: 01.Duran Duran - Burning The Ground (4:00) 02.Duran Duran - Decadance (Extended Mix) (7:57) 03.Duran Duran - Decadance (3:30) “Burning The Ground” is the 20th single by Duran Duran, released in December 1989. It was created as a stand-alone single to promote the compilation album Decade: Greatest Hits, but didn’t appear on the album itself. However, its music video was included on the band’s audiovisual compilation Greatest, released on 1999 (VHS) and 2003 (DVD). The song is essentially a megamix of Duran Duran’s history, featuring tidbits of all of the band’s hits of the previous ten years. Instrumental elements of “Save A Prayer”, “Hungry Like the Wolf”, “Rio”, “The Reflex” and “The Wild Boys”, including the camera flash sound from “Girls on Film”, form the core of the first part of the song, while the “chorus” is built up of alternating chants of “Girls!” (from “Girls on Film”) and “Boys!” (from “The Wild Boys”). The nonsense syllables from several songs, such as the “noh-noh” bits from “Notorious”, the “bop bop bop” from “Skin Trade” and the “tana nana” and the “fle fle fle fle flex” from “The Reflex”, were also incorporated. Elements from “A View To A Kill”, “Notorious”, “I Don’t Want Your Love” and later singles are gradually woven into the mix. Segments of the song are marked by signature phrases taken from other songs: first, “Can you hear me now?” (“Planet Earth”); later, “I tell you, somebody’s fooling around” (“The Reflex”) and “The rhythm is the power” (“I Don’t Want Your Love”). The title derives from a “Hungry Like the Wolf” lyric. The song also used several sound samples from the film Barbarella, from which the band took their name: “Barbarella?” “Mr. President!” “Your Mission, find Durand Durand!” “Just a minute, I’ll slip something on!” The remix was created by producer John Jones, with assistance from Dee Long and engineer Chris Potter, in an upstairs room at Olympic Studios in Barnes while Duran Duran was downstairs recording new material for the album Liberty, to be released the following year. The b-side was another megamix, this one more instrumental in nature, called “Decadance”. The song uses the “why” bits of “The Reflex”, the “no, no” from “Notorious”, “wild” from “The Wild Boys”, the chorus from “All She Wants Is”, the solo from “Save a Prayer” mixed with “Rio”, and a little bit of “Skin Trade”, as well as some of the suggestive screams from “Hungry Like the Wolf”. The single debuted on the U.S. Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart on February 10, 1990. After spending six weeks on the survey “Burning The Ground” peaked at #23. The single also charted in the U.K. #31 and Italy #17.

Tracklist: 01.Mysterious Art - Das Omen (Extended Version) (5:46) 02.Mysterious Art - Das Omen (Radio Version) (4:00) 03.Mysterious Art - The Omen (Vogue Mix) (9:02) 04.Mysterious Art - The Omen (Hiphouse-Skamix Instrumental) (6:17) Das Omen (The Omen) was the first single release by German electronic dance music group Mysterious Art.

The song sold over 490,000 singles in Germany alone and has since remained the most successful published work under CBS Publishing GmbH.
Tracklist: 01.New Order - Round & Round (12'' Version) (6:46) 02.New Order - Round & Round (Club Mix) (7:06) 03.New Order - Round & Round (12'' Remix) (6:48) 04.New Order - Best & Marsh (4:30) 16Bit "Round & Round" is a song by the English band New Order from their fifth studio album Technique (1989). The song was written by band members Gillian Gilbert, Peter Hook, Stephen Morris and Bernard Sumner, and the album version was produced entirely by New Order. "Round & Round" was re-recorded for a single release, with Stephen Hague as co-producer. Musically, it is one of the band's most dance-centred songs, with few guitar or bass lines. Like the majority of New Order songs, the song's title is not mentioned in its lyrics. "Round & Round" was selected as the second single from the album by Factory Records' Tony Wilson over the wishes of the band, who wanted to issue "Vanishing Point" instead. The song is about New Order's then-souring relationship with Tony Wilson, the owner of Factory Records, which was the band's label at the time. On the documentary "New Order Story", Bernard Sumner discusses that he did not originally intend the song to be about Tony Wilson and the tension between Wilson and the group, but Sumner admits that growing tension between the two men ultimately was channelled into the song when it was being written. The single's main B-side was an instrumental, "Best & Marsh", which was written as the theme for a Granada TV series of the same name, featuring footballers George Best and Rodney Marsh. The single reached #21 on the UK singles chart. In the United States "Round & Round" became a #1 hit on the Billboard Dance Chart while peaking at #64 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.
Tracklist: 01.Prince - Batdance (The Batmix) (7:16) 02.Prince - Batdance (Vicki Vale™ Mix Mix) (5:55) 03.Prince - 200 Balloons (5:07) 16Bit "Batdance" is the ninth and final track on Prince's eleventh album Batman (the motion picture soundtrack to the Tim Burton film Batman), and, two weeks prior to the album's release, Batdance was released as the album's first single, becoming Prince's fourth number one hit, and his first to achieve the feat of topping all 3 American charts since "Kiss" in 1986. The B-side is "200 Balloons", which was recorded for the film and serves as the musical blueprint for the main portion of "Batdance". The song was rejected for the film by Tim Burton and replaced with "Trust". The lyrics of "200 Balloons" reference the scene which it was created for to a greater degree than the replacement track, which is only connected to the scene by the Joker asking "Who do you trust?" after the song ends. Prince did little more than replace the lyrics of "200 Balloons" in its transition into "Batdance". Only musical portions survived the transition, but full lyrics showed up in "The Batmix" (turn your head to the east, I be coming from the west). "200 Balloons" also contains samples of "House in Order" and "Rave Unto the Joy Fantastic"; the latter was another song submitted for inclusion in the movie, but rejected (it was replaced by "Partyman").
Tracklist: 01.Ramones - Pet Sematary (Single Version) (3:30) 02.Ramones - Sheena Is A Punk Rocker (LP Version) (2:43) 03.Ramones - Life Goes On (3:30) "Pet Sematary" is a single by American punk rock band Ramones, from their 1989 album Brain Drain. The song, originally written for the Stephen King 1989 film adaptation of the same name, became one of the Ramones' biggest radio hits and was a staple of their concerts during the 1990s. King is a huge Ramones fan and invited the band to his Bangor, Maine home as they played in New England. During the visit, he handed Dee Dee Ramone a copy of his Pet Sematary novel, and the bassist retreated to the basement. One hour later, Dee Dee returned with the lyrics to "Pet Sematary". Shortly afterwards, drummer Marky Ramone said that Dee Dee's attitude that day showed that he could achieve his plans to leave the band and attempt a career at hip hop music. He likened Dee Dee to King, saying that both wrote things people could relate to because they "penetrated to the curiosity, fears, and insecurities carried around with them and couldn't put into words." Producer Daniel Rey became a co-writer by assisting with the structure of the song, while producer Jean Beauvoir of the Plasmatics helped give the song a more commercial style fit for radio play and film inclusion. As "Pet Sematary" sounded closer to the rock ballads of the period, it was a struggle for Johnny Ramone to play the arpeggios and chords, despite Dee Dee's guidance. The music video for "Pet Sematary" was filmed at the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in the eponymous New York village. Shot on a cold night in January 1989, the video features black and white shots of the Ramones walking through the graveyard, as well as color footage of the band and various others miming to the song alongside an open grave. The video ends with the band playing on a hydraulic platform placed inside the open grave, which is gradually lowered until a group of undertakers covers the grave with a headstone that reads "The Ramones." It was the last video featuring Dee Dee Ramone, who would depart the band and be replaced with C. J. Ramone. The video features cameos by Debbie Harry and Chris Stein of Blondie, as well as members of The Dead Boys. An alternate edit of the video features the aforementioned scenes interspersed with scenes from the film, with the opening footage of the band walking through the graveyard now appearing in color. Reception for the song was not entirely positive, as it was nominated for the now-defunct Razzie Award for Worst Original Song in 1989.
Tracklist: 01.The Cure - Lullaby (Extended Remix) (7:42) 02.The Cure - Homesick (Live) (6:56) 03.The Cure - Untitled (Live) (6:30) "Lullaby" is a 1989 single by The Cure from their album Disintegration. The song is the highest-charting single by the band in their home country, reaching number five on the UK Singles Chart. Additionally, it reached number three in Germany and Ireland while becoming a top-ten hit in several other European countries and New Zealand. The music video won the British Video of the Year at the 1990 Brit Awards. The meaning of "Lullaby" has been speculated by fans, including as a metonymy for addiction or depression, and Smith has offered multiple explanations as to its theme or content, such as childhood nightmares or abuse. Tim Pope, a long-time collaborator of The Cure on many of its music videos, interprets "Lullaby" as an allegory for lead singer Robert Smith's druggy past. In North America, the song was released as the second single from Disintegration instead ("Fascination Street" was the first), but did not match its predecessor's level of success, only reaching number 72 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 23 on the Billboard Modern Rock Chart.
Tracklist: 01.Various - The Great 88' Top Pop CD Medley (13:10) As 2019 comes to a close and we begin a new year I thought it would be fun to post a medley from a great remix service Rhthm Stick.

It utilizes vocal sampling with the repetitive usage of the line "I Need You" in its hook. The lyrics of the song revolve around love and romance. "Two of Hearts" received positive reviews from music critics and was a commercial success.

Tracklist: 01.ABC - When Smokey Sings (Miami Mix) (7:03) 02.ABC - Chicago (Parts I & II) (6:37) 03.ABC - When Smokey Sings (7" Version) (4:23) 04.ABC - When Smokey Sings (Bonus Beats) (4:39) 05.ABC - When Smokey Sings (Detroit Mix) (6:45) "When Smokey Sings" is a song by English band ABC, released as the first single from their fourth studio album, Alphabet City (1987). The lyrics and title of the song are a tribute to R&B and soul singer Smokey Robinson. In the United States, Robinson himself was on the Billboard 100 pop chart with his single "One Heartbeat" at the same time as this tribute song; for the week ending 3 October 1987, both songs were in the Billboard Top 10 simultaneously. "When Smokey Sings" and its B-side, "Chicago" also topped the Hot Dance Club Play chart. The song reached No. 11 on the UK Singles Chart and proved to be their second American Top 10 hit, peaking at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100. There is a slight difference in the lyrics between the album and single version in the bridge of the song. In the album version, references are made to "Luther", "Sly", "James", and "Marvin" (most likely referring to Luther Vandross, Sly Stone, James Brown, and Marvin Gaye, respectively). In the single version, this is replaced by alternate lyrics, followed by a short saxophone solo. Pitchfork Media were favourable for the Miami Mix, saying "can you fuck with...the proto–freestyle of the "Miami mix" of ABC's "When Smokey Sings"?...No, of course you cannot." The bass line of the song is a homage to Robinson's composition, "The Tears of a Clown." Smokey Robinson himself praised the song, saying, "Well, of course, that’s a form of flattery, and I really appreciate it."
Tracklist: 01.Carol Hitchcock - Get Ready (Extended Remix) (7:40) 02.Carol Hitchcock - More Than Words Can Say (3:59) 03.Carol Hitchcock - Get Ready (Earth To Moonbase Mix) (8:12) "Get Ready" is a Motown song written by Smokey Robinson, which resulted in two hit records for the label: a U.S. No. 29 version by The Temptations in 1966, and a U.S. No. 4 version by Rare Earth in 1970.

According to Hitchcock Stock Aitken Waterman recommended the track for her and she felt that "they were so wonderful to work with." As a bonus track I have added the Australian only "Earth To Moonbase Mix" which was released on a seperate Australia 12".
Tracklist: 01.Brother Beyond - The Harder I Try (Extended) (6:07) 02.Brother Beyond - Remember Me (Extended) (6:48) 03.Brother Beyond - The Harder I Try (Instrumental) (3:45) "The Harder I Try" is a single by British boyband Brother Beyond. It was released in 1988 and is considered their breakthrough single. In 1988, top British producers Stock Aitken & Waterman auctioned off their services for the Young Variety Club of Great Britain charity. Label EMI won the auction, and British boyband Brother Beyond was selected by Pete Waterman to be produced by the trio. The group had met Waterman previously and the producer liked the band. Brother Beyond was by then a struggling pop act, with their first four singles only making the lower reaches of the UK top 75 singles chart. EMI saw this as their much-needed breakthrough and agreed with Waterman on producing the group. The resulting song, "The Harder I Try", had a distinctive Motown-esque sound, and sampled the drum intro to The Isley Brothers' "This Old Heart of Mine". When released in July 1988, it became an instant success, peaking at #2 in the UK for two weeks, becoming the band's best-selling single. The song was kept off from the top spot by Yazz's "The Only Way Is Up" in the first week and by Phil Collins' "A Groovy Kind of Love" on the second week. The single topped the Irish charts and was mildly successful when released worldwide. As a result, to the group's success with the song, EMI asked the producers to write and produce another track for the band, resulting in the song "He Ain't No Competition", a song that again featured a Motown sound. It was released as the band's next single and it became another big hit for the group, peaking at #6. Brother Beyond's album Get Even had by the time of the release of the single already been released in Japan. It was repackaged for its release in the rest of the world, including the two Stock Aitken & Waterman-produced tracks, and omitting two of the band's self-penned songs from the original release. This version was released in November 1988, and the album was also a top 10 hit.

The song was written and produced by Stock, Aitken and Waterman, who were also the producers of Minogue's first four studio albums. The song was intended to be released as the fifth single from Kylie, but due to the success and longevity of Kylie's massive selling duet with Jason Donovan, "Especially for You", over Christmas 1988 and the following new year, it was only released in a handful of countries. In the United States, "It's No Secret" was released as Kylie's third single where it reached the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100. Originally scheduled to be released worldwide, "It's No Secret" was cancelled in most territories in favour of "Hand on Your Heart", a brand new track, which was released in April 1989 and was the first to be released from her second album Enjoy Yourself. Eventually, the song was only released in USA, New Zealand, Canada and Japan. Due to its limited release and therefore, no promotion, the song was not a huge commercial success, but it did well enough to promote its parent album Kylie from which it was released. "It's No Secret" debuted at number 47 on the New Zealand Singles Chart, where it only peaked for a sole week. In February 1989, the song climbed to number 37 on the US Billboard Hot 100, managing to peak inside the Top 40. In total, the song spent a total of thirteen weeks in the Hot 100, making the song one of Kylie's longest-running singles on the chart itself.

It was a success on the UK Singles Chart where it peaked at number 8 and charted for eleven weeks. It was also a top 10 hit in Denmark, Germany, Ireland and Spain. Unlike most of Astley's previous singles, it was never released in the U.S. A controversy raised around "Big Fun", the hit single recorded by American band Inner City, as the song was very similar to "Take Me to Your Heart" at the music level. Stock Aitken Waterman said the band had stolen the music of the song for "Big Fun" and therefore re-used it in "The Dick Dastardly Mix".

Tracklist: 01.New Kids On The Block - Call It What You Want (C&C Pump It Up 12" Mix) (6:32) 02.New Kids On The Block - Call It What You Want (C&C Pump It Up 7" Mix) (4:13) 03.New Kids On The Block - Games (Kids Get Hard 12" Mix) (5:23) "Call It What You Want" is a 1991 song by New Kids on the Block. Written and produced by Maurice Starr, the original version appears on the group's third album Step By Step. A club/house remix produced by Robert Clivillés & David Cole, which also featured a rap intro by Freedom Williams, later appeared on the group's 1990 hits compilation, No More Games/The Remix Album and would ultimately serve as the second single to be released from that album. The lead vocals were sung by Jordan Knight, Joey McIntyre, and Donnie Wahlberg. Upon its release, the song was another single that received decent (though not enthusiastic) airplay in North America during the spring months of 1991 and could be considered the "last hurrah" in terms of singles from the group's initial run. The single peaked at #12 on the UK Singles Chart. While the group played this song in concert during their 1994 Face the Music Tour, it was not played again until the New Kids on the Block: Live tour on March 7, 2009.

Tracklist: 01.Billy Idol - To Be A Lover (Rock N’ Roll Mix) (7:10) 02.Billy Idol - To Be A Lover (Mother Of Mercy Mix) (6:45) 03.Billy Idol - All Summer Single (4:32) "To Be a Lover" is a song notably covered by Billy Idol on his 1986 album Whiplash Smile. As the album's lead single, it became Idol's second top ten hit in the US, peaking at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 22 on the UK Singles Chart. The song was written by William Bell and Booker T. Jones, and originally performed by Bell as a soul ballad titled "I Forgot to Be Your Lover", released in late 1968 and hitting No. 45 on the Hot 100 and No. 10 on Billboard′s Hot Rhythm & Blues Singles chart in early 1969. In 1986, the track was again reworked and became the second high-profile cover Billy Idol released as a single, after 1981's "Mony Mony". Idol would later top the Billboard Hot 100 (No. 7 UK), with a live version of "Mony Mony" in 1987. The single was backed by Whiplash Smile album track "All Summer Single". Two different 12" singles were also released worldwide (1x UK and 1x Australia), featuring the aforementioned track and two extended remixes of "To Be a Lover (Mother of Mercy Mix)" and "Rock'n'Roll Mix" (Australia only). The "Mother of Mercy Mix" differs quite significantly from the single version; it is a harder sounding song, with a prominent heavy guitar riff dominating most of the track and an 'interlude' with distorted female groans. It is this version that is featured on the remix compilation album Vital Idol 1987 US/1988 Japan editions. The UK 12" was also released as a limited-edition picture disc.
Tracklist: 01.Madonna - Papa Don’t Preach (Extended Remix) (5:41) 02.Madonna - Pretender (LP Version) (4:31) “Papa Don’t Preach” is a song by American singer-songwriter Madonna. The song was written by Brian Elliot with additional lyrics by Madonna, and produced by Stephen Bray and Madonna for her third studio album True Blue, released in June 1986. The song’s musical style combines pop and classical stylings, and its lyrics deal with teenage pregnancy and abortion. It was based on teen gossip he heard outside Elliot’s studio, which has a large front window that doubles as a mirror where schoolgirls from the North Hollywood High School in Los Angeles regularly stopped to fix their hair and chat. Released as the album’s second single in mid-1986, the song was a commercial success. It became Madonna’s fourth number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100, and performed well internationally, reaching the top position in the United Kingdom and Australia. It was well received by music critics and was frequently cited as a highlight in the album. The music video, directed by James Foley, shows Madonna’s second image makeover, featuring her with a more toned and muscular body, and cropped platinum blonde hair. It portrayed a storyline where Madonna is trying to tell her father about her pregnancy. The images are juxtaposed with shots of Madonna dancing and singing in a small, darkened studio, and spending a romantic evening with her boyfriend. Shortly after its release, the song caused heated discussions about its lyrical content. Women’s organizations and others in the family planning field criticized Madonna for encouraging teenage pregnancy, while groups opposed to abortion saw it as a positive pro-life message. The song also caused her first conflict with the Vatican, as she dedicated it to Pope John Paul II, who urged Italian fans to boycott her concerts during the Who’s That Girl World Tour in 1987.
Tracklist: 01.The Fixx - Secret Separation (Long Version) (6:54) 02.The Fixx - Secret Separation (Short Version) (3:48) "Secret Separation" is a song by British new wave rock group The Fixx, from their fourth studio album Walkabout. The single peaked at #19 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart in July 1986 and peaked at No. 1 on the US Album Rock Tracks chart. The single also peaked at #39 in Canada and #83 in the United Kingdom. The music video features an actor sitting at a control panel observing the band playing in an abandoned building filled with random items.
Tracklist: 01.The Psychedelic Furs - Pretty In Pink (Berlin Mix) (6:47) 02.The Psychedelic Furs - Pretty In Pink (Dub) (3:23) 03.The Psychedelic Furs - Love My Way (US Remix) (3:39) “Pretty In Pink” is a song by the English band The Psychedelic Furs, originally released in 1981 as a single from the band’s second album, Talk Talk Talk. The song inspired the 1986 film of the same name and a re-recorded version of the song was included on the film’s soundtrack. The original version of “Pretty in Pink” peaked at number 43 on the UK Singles Chart in July 1981. Allmusic writer Bill Janovitz credits producer Steve Lillywhite for finding “the ideal sound for the band, with a perfect blend of classic pop, punk, and art rock elements”. Janovitz called it “the definitive take” of the song. The 1986 version reached number 18 in the UK and number 41 on the United States Billboard Hot 100 chart. Janovitz described this version as “ho-hum, streamlined, (and) radio-ready”.
Tracklist: 01.a-ha - The Living Daylights (Extended Version) (6:51) 02.a-ha - The Living Daylights (7 Inch Version) (4:16) 03.a-ha - The Living Daylights (Instrumental) (4:43) "The Living Daylights" is a song performed by Norwegian pop group A-ha for the 1987 James Bond film of the same name. It was written by guitarist Pål Waaktaar. After first appearing in the context of the film, a revised version was included in the band's Stay on These Roads studio album, which came out in 1988. John Barry was listed on the credits as co-writer and producer, and the initial release of the song was his version. A second version of the song, re-worked by A-ha in 1988, later appeared on their third album, Stay on These Roads. When interviewed on a late-night show in 1987, Barry said that he found working with the band exhausting secondary to the band's insistence on using their own version of the song for release. In an interview with Hot Rod Magazine, keyboardist Magne Furuholmen said that "[the band's] fight with Barry left a rather unpleasant aftertaste. Apparently, he compared us to Hitlerjugend in a newspaper interview." Waaktaar stated that although Barry produced the track, he never contributed to the songwriting process and should not have been credited as such (the band Duran Duran made similar claims after they worked briefly with Barry on the theme to the previous Bond film, "A View to a Kill", in 1985). However, Waaktaar has also said: "I loved the stuff he [John Barry] added to the track. I mean, it gave it this sort of really cool string arrangement. That's when it, for me, started to sound like a Bond thing." "The Living Daylights" was released in the summer of 1987. The song peaked at number five in the United Kingdom and number one in Norway. In the United States the single failed to chart. The song remains one of A-ha's most played songs in live concerts and has often been extended into a "sing-along" with the audience, as featured on the live album How Can I Sleep with Your Voice in My Head. In live performances, Paul Waaktaar often included the main James Bond Theme in his guitar solo.

Tracklist: 01.Kraftwerk - Musique Non Stop (6:15) 02.Kraftwerk - Musique Non Stop (7" Version) (4:11) RIP Kraftwer Co-Founder Florian Schneider 1947-2020 "Musique Non Stop" is a 1986 single by German techno group Kraftwerk, which was featured on the album Electric Café. It was re-released as a remix on their 1991 album The Mix. The single was their first number one on Billboard Hot Dance Club Play and was one of two songs to make it to number one there. The single is traditionally the final act during Kraftwerk concerts. In the early 1990s, a completely different version of "Musique Non-Stop" – slower and more melodic – was used extensively as a jingle on MTV Europe. Earlier, MTV Europe had already included elements from the original song and the video in the title graphics for MTV's Greatest Hits.

Tracklist: 01.Wham! - The Edge Of Heaven (4:31) 02.Wham! - Where Did Your Heart Go? (5:41) 03.Wham! - Battlestations (Extended Edit) (6:36) "The Edge of Heaven" is a song by English pop duo Wham!, released on Epic Records in 1986. It was written and produced by George Michael, one half of the duo, and was promoted in advance as Wham!'s farewell single. With the known desire of George Michael to move into a more adult market, Wham! had announced in the spring of 1986 that Michael and his musical partner Andrew Ridgeley would go their separate ways after a farewell single, album and concert. The album was called The Final and the concert was held in front of 72,000 fans at London's Wembley Stadium on Saturday 28 June 1986. Prior to the official release date of the single, the song had been performed during their 1985 "Whamamerica!" tour. The single, a five-minute tale of emotional and physical frustration within a relationship, was a slick and upbeat — albeit harder-edged than earlier works — pop tune which became the fourth and final No. 1 in the UK Singles Chart (and the final US Top Ten hit, reaching #10) for the duo. Elton John, a friend of Michael and Ridgeley, played piano on the track. Michael has said the lyrics to the song were "deliberately and overtly sexual, especially the first verse". The reason for this, he says, was he thought no one would care "because no one listens to a Wham! lyric. It had got to that stage." Epic released a double record set in the UK, with an updated version of Wham!'s early signature song "Wham Rap! (Enjoy What You Do)" on the flip of disc one, and two new songs - "Battlestations" and a cover of the Was (Not Was) song "Where Did Your Heart Go?"—on the flip of the second disc. "Where Did Your Heart Go?" was later given an equal billing and reached a lowly position in the UK Top 40 as a result. In the United States, "The Edge of Heaven" was backed with a live version of "Blue" from Wham!'s tour of China. "Where Did Your Heart Go?" was released separately as the follow-up and the fourth and last single from Music from the Edge of Heaven (the shortened American version of The Final), and charted at #50 (backed with "Wham! Rap '86"). **As a special bonus track I have added the mega rare "Extended Edit" of "Battlestations" which should have been released as a single in my opinion. The track is remixed and edited by Steven Bourasa for the Hot Tracks remix service.

(7" Version) (4:02) "Who The Am Dam Do You Think You Am" was the first single taken from the second LP of the same name by British band Boys Don't Cry best known for the hit single "I Wanna Be a Cowboy", which peaked at No. 12 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in 1986 and charted around the world. The band's second studio album which, for obscure reasons, was retitled to "Boys Don't Cry" for the US-market. This happened to be the title of their debut album (which was also released in the USA under that name). "Who The Am Dam Do You Think You Am" peaked at No. 94 UK on the singles chart for two weeks in May 1987. The single failed to chart in the USA making the band one-hit wonder in that country. This 12" was pressed on translucent orange vinyl.

It was released in January 1987 as the first single from her eponymous debut album. The song became one of the biggest pop and R&B singles of 1987. Watley re-recorded and re-issued the song in various remixes in 2005. The single hit number two for four consecutive weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 in May 1987 and spent four weeks at number-one on the Billboard R&B chart. It is the only single between 1985 and 1990 in the United States to have spent four weeks in the runner-up position and not have reached the number one. The single was kept out of the top spot of the Hot 100 by Cutting Crew's "(I Just) Died in Your Arms" and U2's "With or Without You", and would itself keep Club Nouveau's Hot 100 number-one single "Lean on Me" out of the top spot of the R&B chart. It ranked number 16 on Billboard's year-end chart for 1987. The song also reached number-one on the RPM Singles Chart in Canada. In 1988 the song was nominated for two Soul Train Music Awards for Best R&B/Soul or Rap Music Video, and Best R&B/Soul Single, Female. She was also nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance. While listening to a tape of instrumental tracks given to her by producer André Cymone, Watley reflected on a recent sour romantic breakup. Fusing her own feelings of "I'll show you" with the feel of the track, Watley came up with the basic premise of "Looking for a New Love." The released record is the eight-track demo of the song; that way the emotional urgency of Watley's vocal was still intact. One of the song's key phrases became a popular saying: "Hasta la vista, baby." It wound up on innumerable answering machines and was used by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 1991 film Terminator 2: Judgment Day.
Tracklist: 01.Robbie Nevil - Wot's It To Ya (Rusty's 12" Dance Mix) (9:56) 02.Robbie Nevil - Wot's It To Ya (Rusty's Vocal Dub Mix) (6:52) 03.Robbie Nevil - Wot's It To Ya (Rusty's Vocoder Dub) (6:58) 04.Robbie Nevil - Wot's It To Ya (Extended To Ya Remix) (5:15) 05.Robbie Nevil - Wot's It To Ya (To Ya Remix) (4:02) "Wot's It to Ya" was the third single taken from the self-titled debut from American pop singer, songwriter, producer, and guitarist Robbie Nevil. The single debuted on the Us Billboard Hot 100 on May 30, 1987 peaking at #10 on July 31, 1987 after spending sixteen weeks on the survey."Wot's It to Ya" also peaked at #42 on the UK singles chart. The track was produced by producers Alex Sadkin and Phil Thornalley. After "C'est La Vie" was chosen as the lead single and all the tracks were cut, Nevil expected the rest of the album to be smooth sailing, but he was about to learn an important lesson from veteran producer Alex Sadkin (Duran Duran, Thompson Twins), which resulted in the last-minute addition of "Wot's It to Ya". Nevil told Songfacts: "He explained it to me: 'Always come from the school of you don't have your first single, and always try to the bitter end to come up with something even better.' So 'Wot's It To Ya?' is written at the end of the record with the idea of you still don't have your first single, so write one more and try to hit it out of the ballpark. It didn't end up being the first single, but that's when and why we did it."

The lyrics list a wide variety of serious political issues in the headlines at the time ("Dictation enforced in Afghanistan, revolution in South Africa taking a stand…"), and then offers the positive message of the title—that on its "timeless wavelength", "music is our life's foundation", it "shall last" and ultimately "succeed all the nations to come".

Tracklist: 01.Duran Duran - Ordinary World (5:45) 02.Duran Duran - Ordinary World (Acoustic Version) (5:12) 03.Duran Duran - Save A Prayer ('Till The Morning After) (Live) (6:16) "Ordinary World" is the first single from Duran Duran's self-titled 1993 album, commonly known as The Wedding Album. The single reached number one on the US Billboard Mainstream Top 40, the Canadian RPM Top Singles chart and the Italian Singles Chart. It also peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100, number two in Iceland and Sweden and number six on the UK Singles Chart. The song won an Ivor Novello Award in May 1994. Lead vocalist Simon Le Bon sang the song with Luciano Pavarotti at a benefit concert for War Child. By the early 1990s, Duran Duran's popularity had faded. Their album Liberty had proved a commercial failure, its two singles failing to make a significant showing on the British or American charts. It was not until Capitol leaked "Ordinary World" to a radio station in Jacksonville, Florida during the second half of 1992 that it seemed like Duran Duran would find a resurgence in popularity. To their surprise, the single proved so popular that Capitol had to push the US release date up, ultimately releasing it in December. The keyboards in the song were arranged and performed by Nick Rhodes and John Jones. The drums were played by Steve Ferrone at Maison Rouge. The guitar solo that characterises this song was arranged and performed by Warren Cuccurullo, former player with Frank Zappa. His instrumental rock trio version became a staple of his solo shows and was included on one of his solo albums "Roadrage". The music video was filmed by director Nick Egan at Huntington Gardens in San Marino, California and the song later featured in the soundtrack to the film Layer Cake in 2005. Simon LeBon later performed the song with Pavarotti at a WarChild benefit. The performance was released on home video as Pavarotti & Friends: Together for the Children of Bosnia. The lyric to "Ordinary World" were written by Simon Le Bon as the second of a trilogy of songs for his late friend David Miles; the others being "Do You Believe in Shame?" (1988) and "Out of My Mind" (1997). "Ordinary World" is one of two Cuccurullo-era songs ("Come Undone" being the other) which were played when Duran Duran did their reunion tour, both Andy Taylor and Roger Taylor insisting on playing it. Cuccurullo was brought in to teach Andy Taylor how to play it. It has remained in the set list ever since. The "Acoustic Version" was more correctly the "Acoustic Mix" and was created using the studio guitar & vocal tracks and adding specially arranged string orchestration.

Tracklist: 01.Pet Shop Boys - Opportunities (Let’s Make Lots Of Money) (Shep Pettibone Mastermix) (7:18) 02.Pet Shop Boys - Opportunities (Let’s Make Lots Of Money) (Reprise) (4:27) 03.Pet Shop Boys - Opportunities (Let’s Make Lots Of Money) (Original Dance Mix) (6:45) 04.Pet Shop Boys - Was That What It Was? (5:14) “Opportunities (Let’s Make Lots of Money)” is a song by UK duo Pet Shop Boys, released as a single in 1985 and then in 1986, gaining greater popularity in both the United Kingdom and United States with its second release, reaching number 11 in the UK Singles Chart and number 10 in the US Billboard Hot 100. The song’s indirect attack on its subject matter has come to exemplify the Pet Shop Boys as ironists in their songwriting. This 12″ is for the 1986 re-release which becam a worldwide hit and features remixes by noted 1980s producer Shep Pettibone. Shep Pettibone did not mix “Was That What It Was?”; he was booked to do so, but missed his plane, and his manager, Jane Brinton, mixed the song in his absence. It is unknown if Shep Pettibone was consulting the manager over the phone. This fact went unnoticed until Pet Shop Boys revealed it in the liner notes for the Alternative anthology of B-sides and rarities (1995), though Jane Brinton gets a “Thanks to” mention on the 12″ cover. After a Super Bowl ad featuring the song, it re-entered the Billboard's Dance/Electronic Digital Song Sales chart at No. 5 on February 20, 2021.
Tracklist: 01.Bee Gees - E.S.P "Extra Sensory House" (Vocal) (6:31) 02.Bee Gees - E.S.P "E.S. Piano" (Dub) (8:23) 03.Bee Gees - E.S.P "E.S.P.N.R.G." (Vocal) (7:06) 04.Bee Gees - E.S.P "Extra Energy" (Dub) (6:42) 05.Bee Gees - Overnight (LP Version) (4:23) "E.S.P." was a single by the Bee Gees. Released in 1987, it was the follow-up to their successful single "You Win Again". The a cappella intro found on the album version was edited out for radio airplay. The original title of the song is "XTC" or "Ecstasy" before the Gibbs realized that it sounded like a drug reference so they changed it to "E.S.P.". The single did not do as well as the previous single "You Win Again", reaching only number 13 in Germany and outside the top forty elsewhere.

Tracklist: 01.Madonna - Justify My Love (William Orbit Remix) (7:15) 02.Madonna - Justify My Love (4:58) 03.Madonna - Express Yourself (Shep's 'Spressin' Himself Re-Remix) (4:02) "Justify My Love" is a song by American singer Madonna from her first greatest hits compilation album The Immaculate Collection (1990). It was released on November 6, 1990, by Sire Records as the lead single from The Immaculate Collection. The song was written by Lenny Kravitz and Ingrid Chavez, with additional lyrics by Madonna. Chavez was not credited on the song, which led to a lawsuit against Kravitz. Chavez settled out-of-court, the terms of which included a songwriting credit. Madonna's vocals are primarily spoken and whispered, but almost never sung, a style that she later employed on her following studio album Erotica (1992). Musically, "Justify My Love" is a trip hop song, with mid-tempo settings and instrumentation. The lyrics of the song are primarily about sex and romance. "Justify My Love" received mixed reviews from older critics, but was critically appreciated by many contemporary critics, noting it as one of Madonna's best songs to date. The song became Madonna's ninth number one single on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number two in the United Kingdom, while reaching the Top 10 in several countries including Australia, Canada, Finland, New Zealand, Italy and Switzerland. The accompanying music video portrayed Madonna as a woman walking in a hotel hallway, looking distressed and tired from work, until being seduced into having sex with a mysterious man and woman. It caused controversy worldwide, due to its explicit sexual images, and was subsequently banned from MTV and other TV networks. The video, which contained imagery of sadomasochism, voyeurism, and bisexuality, made its US television debut December 3, 1990, on ABC during its late-night news program Nightline. The song was part of the setlist of three of her concert tours, the most recent being The MDNA Tour in 2012. In 2003, Q Magazine ranked "Justify My Love" at number 842 in their list of the "1001 Best Songs Ever".

Tracklist: 01.David Bowie - Hallo Spaceboy (12" Remix) (6:42) 02.David Bowie - Hallo Spaceboy (7" Remix) (4:25) 03.David Bowie - Hallo Spaceboy (Lost In Space Mix) (6:32) 04.David Bowie - Hallo Spaceboy (Double Click Mix) (7:46) "Hallo Spaceboy" is a song by David Bowie from his 1995 album Outside, and the third and final single from the album. The track was re-recorded in 1996 and issued as a remix featuring Pet Shop Boys as guest artists. Bowie and Brian Eno co-wrote the original album version of the song. In late December 1995, Bowie was intending "Hallo Spaceboy" to be his next single after "Strangers When We Meet", and recorded a video for the song at a concert in Birmingham. The song "Hallo Spaceboy" was performed twice at the venue, once as part of the regular set and once as the last encore, with that final performance intended to be the official music video for the song. Two live songs from the set, "Moonage Daydream" and "Under Pressure", were used as b-sides to the single release as well. However, the Pet Shop Boys were approached to remix the song as well, and their remix was used as the official single version instead. Neil Tennant explained that since the original song had only a single verse, Lowe suggested using lyrical fragments from Bowie's 1969 song "Space Oddity" to create a second verse. Bowie initially expressed reservation about the additions when Tennant initially told him during a telephone conversation, but later agreed that they worked well. Tennant told NME in a 1997 interview that he and Lowe, working alongside Bowie, had completed what Tennant called the "Major Tom trilogy", in reference to a fictional character who first appeared in Space Oddity and who had later recurred in Bowie's 1980 song "Ashes to Ashes". Tennant explained, "I said to David Bowie, 'It's like Major Tom is in one of those Russian spaceships they can’t afford to bring down,' and he [Bowie] said, 'Oh wow, is that where he is?'" The final official music video for "Hallo Spaceboy" was directed by David Mallet, mixing shots of both Bowie and the Pet Shop Boys into a rapid-fire montage of Cold War era retro-footage of science fiction film clips, atomic bomb testing footage, and television advertising clips. The remixes by Dave Ball (known as the instrumentalist of Soft Cell) and Ingo Vauk are based on the Pet Shop Boys Remix, but only Double Click Mix uses Neil Tennant's vocals.

Да уж, мощная уже подборка получается. Кое-чего не хватает конечно, например Kylie, но в таком объёме это простительно.
По сути, Вы сделали резервную копию сайта Пола. И теперь, когда многих рипов уже нет, это спасает.
У меня всё это есть, но харды имеют свойство осыпаться в самый неподходящий момент, и я знаю где это найти.
DMMANIAC
Meddows, насчет Кайли, спасибо! Не понимаю каким образом я его пропустил.. добавлю при обновлении.
насчет резервной копии - я Пола поставил в известность как-то..)

DMMANIAC, ещё были "Ace of Base" и "Gary Glitter".
К сожалению, у меня пока очень медленный инет на отдачу. Как будет время и желание попробую оформить у "соседей" и кину вам ссылку. А может просто залью на обменник, чего-то лениво что-либо оформлять.

Tracklist: 01.Pet Shop Boys - It’s A Sin (Phil Harding Latin Vocal Mix) (9:16) 02.Pet Shop Boys - It’s A Sin (Phil Harding Latin Dub Mix) (4:22) 03.Pet Shop Boys - It’s A Sin (Remix) (8:16) 04.Pet Shop Boys - It’s A Sin (Disco Mix) (7:42) 05.Pet Shop Boys - You Know Where You Went Wrong (5:51) "It's a Sin" is a song by English synth-pop duo Pet Shop Boys from their second studio album, Actually (1987). Written by Chris Lowe and Neil Tennant, the song was released on 15 June 1987 as the album's lead single. It became the duo's second number-one single on the UK Singles Chart, spending three weeks atop the chart. Additionally, the single topped the charts in Austria, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland, while reaching number nine on the US Billboard Hot 100. A demo of the track was first cut in 1984 with Bobby Orlando, and the song's form in the demo remained intact to the final version, although the released production is far more dramatic. The dramatic, overblown production style of the song, loaded with synthesizers, orchestra hits and bookended by a non sequitur sample of a NASA countdown, has come to exemplify the most theatrical extremes of the Pet Shop Boys' musical style.[3] It remains a concert staple, being one of only two songs (alongside "West End Girls") that has been played during every Pet Shop Boys tour. The band stated at the time that they had been keen for Stock Aitken Waterman to produce the song, as they were huge fans. Neil has stated that Pete Waterman hated the demo so they turned instead to SAW's remix engineer Phil Harding to remix the song for the US release (which went uncredited on the sleeve). They would work with him again on "I'm Not Scared", the single they wrote for the Patsy Kensit band Eighth Wonder and remixes of "Always on My Mind". Bursting with melodramatic orchestral stabs, a NASA countdown, and huge-sounding, sweeping synths "It's A Sin" secured itself in Gay culture permenantly becoming a Pride Anthem.

The song was written by the Terry Britten and Graham Lyle team and was notably different from the three previous singles that they had written for Turner, "What's Love Got to Do with It", "We Don't Need Another Hero" and "Two People", as it was an up-tempo country-tinged rock track featuring Eric Clapton on guitars. Tina Turner said in an interview that "What You Get Is What You See" is her favorite song from the album.

"Don't Drop Bombs" was popular on the club circuit, but failed to make the Top 40 in the UK, peaking at No. 46. The single would only find its way the US club scene as an import and on the DJ subscription remix services.

Sire Records released it as the album's lead single on March 3, 1989. Written and produced by Madonna and Patrick Leonard, the track heralded an artistic and personal approach to songwriting for Madonna, who believed that she needed to cater more to her adult audience. Thematically the song speaks about a passionate young girl in love with God, who becomes the only male figure in her life. "Like a Prayer" was acclaimed by critics and was a worldwide success. It was Madonna's seventh number-one single on the United States' Billboard Hot 100, and topped the singles charts in many other countries, including Australia, Canada, Spain, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. Rolling Stone listed "Like a Prayer" among The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. The music video, directed by Mary Lambert, portrays Madonna witnessing a young white woman being killed by a group of white men. While a black man is arrested for the murder, Madonna hides in a church for safety, seeking strength to go forth as a witness. The clip depicts a church and Catholic symbols such as stigmata. It also features the Ku Klux Klan's burning crosses and a dream about kissing a black saint. The Vatican condemned the video, while family and religious groups protested against its broadcast. They boycotted products by soft drink manufacturer Pepsi, who had used the song in their commercial. The company canceled their sponsorship contract with Madonna, but allowed her to retain the fee. In the United States a promotional 12" single was released to club and radio disc jockeys to help promote the song. This promotional 12" contained three exclusive Dub Mixes.

The single went gold in the US and peaked at No. 3 in the Billboard Hot 100. As far as I know both edits from the 7" promo are vinyl only mixes. Since the Shep Pettibone 7" Edit appears on both sides of this 7", I also included the "Single Edit" which was taken from another 7" promo both releases have the same catalog number.

"True Colors" is a song written by American songwriters Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly. It was both the title track and the first single released from American singer Cyndi Lauper's second album. It was the only original song on the album that Lauper did not help to write. Released late in the summer of 1986, the song would become a major hit for Lauper, spending two weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming her last single to occupy the top of the U.S. chart. It received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. The single reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 on October 25, 1986, beating Tina Turner's "Typical Male" to the top spot. It also peaked at number three in Australia and New Zealand, and number 12 on the UK Singles Chart. "True Colors" also became a standard in the gay community. In various interviews, Lauper elaborated that the song had resonated with her because of the recent death of her friend, Gregory Natal, from HIV/AIDS. Years later, Lauper co-founded the True Colors Fund, a non-profit organization dedicated to eradicating LGBTQ youth homelessness.
Tracklist: 01.Elton John - Wrap Her Up (Extended Remix) (10:12) 02.Elton John - Restless (Live At Wembley Stadium 1984) (4:26) "Wrap Her Up" is a song by English rock performer Elton John, featured on his 1985 album, Ice on Fire.

George Michael was quoted at the time in Smash Hits magazine that "it sounded like I had my willy in a garotte" because of the falsetto he sings throughout the song. The song is notable for the number of famous women's names dropped toward the end of the song, including Kiki Dee, who had duetted with Elton on the hit song "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" in 1976, and also provided background vocals for "Wrap Her Up." The rest of the list includes (in order) Marlene Dietrich, Marilyn Monroe, Brigitte Bardot, Doris Day, Billie Jean King, Samantha Fox, Joan Collins, Katharine Hepburn, Vivien Leigh, Grace Jones, Priscilla Presley, Vanessa Williams, Dusty Springfield, Nancy Reagan, Rita Hayworth, Madonna (as "Material Girl"), Julie Andrews, Superwoman, Annie Lennox, Mata Hari, Anouska Hempel, Shirley Temple, Tallulah Bankhead, Linda Lovelace, Little Eva, Nastassja Kinski, Princess Caroline of Monaco, Pat Fernandez (a close friend of George Michael who appeared in two Wham! videos), and Elsie Tanner.
Tracklist: 01.Nick Kamen - Nobody Else (Special Arthur Baker Dub Mix) (7:28) 02.Nick Kamen - Nobody Else (Arthur Baker Dance Mix) (7:25) 03.Nick Kamen - Any Day Now (3:49) “Nobody Else” was the second single released in the US and the third in the UK from Nick Kamen’s self titled debut album. Even with several remixes by Jellybean and Arthur Baker the single failed to chart in the US. The single did chart internationally peaking at #47 UK, #19 Ireland and #97 in Italy. The b-side track “Any Day Now” was written by Burt Bacharach and Bob Hilliard in 1962. It has been recorded by numerous artists over the years, including notable versions by Chuck Jackson in 1962, Alan Price in 1965, Elvis Presley in 1969, and Ronnie Milsap in 1982. In 1987 Kamen recorded it for his debut album.
Tracklist: 01.Paul Jabara - Special Intro - Ocho Rios (That 12" Mix) (10:03) 02.Paul Jabara - Ocho Rios (LP Instrumental Mix) (8:49) "Ocho Rios" was the final single released by American actor, singer, and Oscar winning songwriter of Lebanese ancestry, born in Brooklyn, New York, Paul Jabara. The song was taken from the concept musical De La Noche: The True Story – A Poperetta, featuring guest vocals from Leata Galloway, Diva Gray and Pattie Brooks. Though one of 1986's most adventurous and fascinating albums, “De La Noche” got off to a rocky start. The problem stems from the constant references in the song, “Ocho Rios,” to “that Negro from Ocho Rios.” Some blacks consider the word Negro offensive. Dance clubs played the single but radio snubbed it. So did MTV. Too controversial, Jabara was told. Bleeping the word Negro out of the single seemed the obvious answer. But Jabara was against this, insisting it would ruin the song: “If it was blacks talking, they’d say I met a Caucasian in Ocho Rios. That’s funny. If they said ‘I met a white boy in Ocho Rios,’ that’s not funny. The word Negro is funny in ‘Negro From Ocho Rios.’ It’s not a hate word, like all those other names for blacks. What’s all the fuss about?” Actually, there was no fuss. Just the threat of a fuss killed the single before it developed any momentum. Sadly this would become Paul Jabara's last project he died from complications from AIDS in 1992.
Tracklist: 01.'Til Tuesday - Voices Carry (Long Version) (4:21) 02.'Til Tuesday - Voices Carry (Single Mix) (4:04) "Voices Carry" is a song by the American rock band 'Til Tuesday. It was produced by Mike Thorne for the band's debut studio album, Voices Carry (1985). The accompanying music video, directed by D.J. Webster, received wide exposure on MTV and positive reactions from critics. It was nominated for numerous awards and is thought to be the reason behind the song's success. It was released in North America in March 1985. "Voices Carry" became the band's highest charting single and their only top ten hit in the U.S., peaking at number eight on the Billboard Hot 100. Internationally it reached the top twenty in Canada and Australia.

Pointer Sisters — Neutron Dance "Octomnipent Zeitgeist" were two medley's released in 1986 by Hot Tracks Remix Service the medley's appeared on Series 5 issues 1&2. Making Of… "Octomnipent Zeitgeist" Medley's To create the medley, Glenn Cattanach worked with two other DJ's - Greg Lee and Jeff McKeehan. Glenn owned all the equipment, and Greg and Jeff were local club DJ's in Lexington, Kentucky. The three of them had previously made two other medleys together - the "1984 Top 40 Medley" and the "Best of Hot Tracks 1984." Both medleys appeared on Hot Tracks during 1985, which was the 4th year for Hot Tracks. Glenn, Greg & Jeff came up for the idea of a BIG two-part medley for 1985 and started work on it in October of 1985. Greg was really the mastermind behind the medley, being the one with most of the ideas, but the medley was a group effort. Greg reviewed dance charts and came up with the list of songs to include. They named the two-part medley "Octomnipent Zeitgeist" which loosely meant "THE Spirit of '85." These guys wisely kept logs on the entire project, noting the settings for the turntable speed, mix board levels, equalizer settings, tape speed, etc. This enabled them to later re-edit any part that needed perfecting. All the work was done with two turntables, a ¼" track 15 IPS reel to reel recorder, a cassette deck with dbx noise reduction and a variable speed 7½ IPS reel to reel recorder. Digital recording was uncommon in 1985 and no samplers or effects (delay, reverb, echo, and no CD players!) and no multi-track tape recorders were used. The key to the entire medley was what was called the Kentucky Multi-Track method (named that because they were living in Lexington, Kentucky at that time). They would record 8 to 16 beats of a percussion piece to use "under" the song being edited. They looped those beats by splicing a length of edited tape together, sometimes several meters long, and playing it repeatedly while recording that rhythm track to a cassette deck (with dbx noise reduction) for 3 minutes. They would then play that cassette back, mixing in the record/song they were adding to the medley with the rhythm track. To transition to another song, they would use the same rhythm track under the next song to make it sound similar to the previous song. Frequently, several rhythm tracks were sampled, layered and cross-faded. This method was often subtle and always effective. This way the songs did NOT sound like a bunch of turntable mixes that were simply chopped up and edited back together. They used more than 70 or 80 different "loops" or rhythm tracks for the entire medley. Final preparations for "Octomnipent Zeitgeist" included breaking the 35 minute medley into two parts, adding mix breaks between the two parts, and adding a Wizard of Oz theme (since they were calling the separate parts OZ-I and OZ-II). The medley ends with a trickling ultra-high-speed voice-over describing the origin of OZ. Hot Tracks published the medley in January and February 1986 as Series 5, Issues 1 and 2. The mix took 600 man-hours and over three months to complete. It was a labor of love for these guys. They figured out what they had spent on tape (remember, back then everything was on ¼" tape, no hard drive recording) and the vinyl records, they each made only about $40 US. They didn't care. They had created one of the best year-end medleys ever and were known by DJ's around the world.
Tracklist: 01.Bryan Adams - Heat Of The Night (Extended Remix) (5:33) 02.Bryan Adams - Heat Of The Night (Album Version) (5:05) 03.Bryan Adams - Another Day (3:40) "Heat of the Night" is a song written by Canadian rock musician Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance and performed by Adams. The song became the most successful song from Adams's album Into the Fire in 1987.

The song is also featured on Adams's 1988 live concert album Live! Live! Live! and his greatest hits albums So Far So Good and Anthology. The song is very popular among Bryan Adams fans and it won Canadian Music Publisher's Association Rock Song Of The Year Award. According to Billboard magazine, it was the 84th most-listened-to song of the year. The song was partly inspired by the film noir classic The Third Man, starring the actor-director Orson Welles. The darkness of the lyrics was further influenced by a trip Bryan and Jim Vallance took to Berlin in March 1986, before the wall came down.

The song is notable for appearing in the American Top 5 three times – each time in a different decade: for Little Eva in 1962 (U.S. #1); for Grand Funk Railroad in 1974 (U.S. #1); and for Kylie Minogue in 1988 (U.S. #3). "The Loco-Motion" was the debut single by Australian popular music singer Kylie Minogue. After an impromptu performance of the song at an Australian rules football charity event with the cast of the Australian soap opera Neighbours, Minogue was signed a record deal by Mushroom Records to release the song as a single. The single was released on July 28, 1987 in Australia, Sweden and Italy under the title "Locomotion". The song was a success in Australia, reaching number one and remaining there for seven weeks. The success of the song in her home country resulted in her signing a record deal with PWL Records in London and to working with the successful team Stock Aitken & Waterman. In 1988, a re-recorded version produced by Stock Aitken & Waterman was released worldwide with the title "The Loco-Motion". This release again was a major success, reaching the top five in the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada. Minogue's version of the track appeared in the 1988 film Arthur 2: On the Rocks, starring Dudley Moore and Liza Minnelli. The Minogue version of "The Loco-Motion" substitutes the Australian term railway for the American usage of railroad in the song's lyrics. The music video for "Locomotion" was filmed at Essendon Airport and the ABC studios in Melbourne, Australia. The video for "The Loco-Motion" was created out of footage from the Australian music video. Near the end of 1988, the song was nominated for Best International Single at the Canadian Music Industry Awards.

Tracklist: 01.The Normal - T.V.O.D. (2:52) 02.The Normal - Warm Leatherette (3:22) "T.V.O.D."/"Warm Leatherette" is a 1978 single by The Normal a recording artist name used by English music producer Daniel Miller, a film editor at the time, who is best known as the founder of the record label Mute Records. "T.V.O.D."/"Warm Leatherette" was also the first ever release by Mute Records in November, 1978. In 1977, Miller had split up with his girlfriend. A friend suggested that he read a book the friend himself had just finished. The book was Crash (1973) by J.G. Ballard. He felt that Ballard's writing took him five minutes into the future; the novel was to be a major influence in the music he would produce as The Normal. Miller was disillusioned by the fact you needed to learn three chords to be in a punk band, so he decided to purchase a synthesiser. His thinking was that you only needed to learn to press one key on a synthesiser. After buying a Korg 700s synthesiser from Macari's music shop in London, Miller recorded and released a single under the name The Normal. This was "T.V.O.D."/"Warm Leatherette". Both tracks were minimalist electronic songs influenced by the Crash novel. He wanted the sound of the recordings to be visual, like driving along a highway between large buildings then going through a tunnel. The single was recorded in Daniel Miller's house using a TEAC four track tape recorder and the Korg mini700s synthesiser. Songs by The Normal have been covered and performed by many notable artists such as Grace Jones, Sleep Chamber, Chicks on Speed/Hell on a split-7", Giddle and Boyd Rice and in 2006 by Trent Reznor with Jeordie White and Peter Murphy. "Warm Leatherette" was performed live by Duran Duran in November 2007 as part of an electro medley during their 2008 tour, in support of their album Red Carpet Massacre. Both songs were re-issued in the 1980s on 12" single by Mute Records.

This song was written by Rick Nowels, Billy Steinberg and Maria Vidal. After Arista Records demanded the song be recorded, Malin Berggren, looking to take a secondary role in the band, initially refused to record it. Instead,Jenny Berggren originally recorded the song solo for the group. According to Ace Of Base's Jonas Berggren, once Clive Davis found out that song was recorded by Jenny Berggren he had called Malin Berggren and threatened her. Scared Berggren flew to Norway to record her vocals, and demanded that she only do one take. This one vocal take was used for the released version. "She was sad", Jonas Berggren wrote to fans about the incident in February, 2011. "And you can hear she didn't like it". According to her brother, it is after that incident that Berggren had decided she doesn't want to be involved in the music industry anymore. A radio edit of the ballad hit radios on April 5, 1999. It was also remixed for American audiences and promotionally released as a lead single for their Greatest Hits record in April 2000. The song was not released commercially in the United States.

Tracklist: 01.Dead or Alive - Brand New Lover (Up Ducky Mix) (6:28) 02.Dead or Alive - Brand New Lover (The Dust Monkey's Love Bubble Club Mix) (9:04) I originally posted the U.S. 12" way back in July, 2012 that single contained four tracks at 33 RPM which I always thought lacked a bit of dynamic range since the tracks are a bit more compressed onto the record. This time around I decided to give the 45 RPM pressed Japan 12" a new restoration/transfer I had posted it in 2011 but removed it after posting the U.S. 12" in 2012 sonically I think it sounds much better giving each mix it's own side to strech out it's grooves. I hope you guys enjoy this new transfer. "Brand New Lover" is a song recorded by the British band Dead or Alive. It was the lead single released from the band's third album, Mad, Bad, and Dangerous to Know on Epic Records. It achieved international success when released as a single in 1986. The lyrics describe the singer's desire to leave his current partner for one who is more exciting. His motivation is that he admittedly does not desire a stable relationship with one partner, but rather is "a pleasure seeker." The song proved to be more successful in the U.S. and in Japan than in the band's native UK, where it reached number 31. In the US, "Brand New Lover" peaked at number 15 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart (The band's second and last single to reach the top 20), and spent two weeks at #1 on the American dance chart in December 1986.
Tracklist: 01.Duran Duran - Notorious (Extended Mix) (5:15) 02.Duran Duran - Notorious (45 Mix) (3:59) 03.Duran Duran - Winter Marches On (3:24) "Notorious" is the fourteenth single by the English new wave band Duran Duran. It was released internationally by EMI on 20 October 1986. "Notorious" was the first single issued from Duran Duran's fourth album Notorious (1986), and the first released by Duran Duran as a 3-piece band after the departure of Roger Taylor and Andy Taylor. It was a commercial success worldwide, reaching number seven on the UK Singles Chart and number two on the US Billboard Hot 100, and was a success in various other countries. "Notorious" marked the debut of the new streamlined trio version of Duran Duran, as Andy Taylor and Roger Taylor had left the band by the time the album was released. In fact, the acrimonious nature of Andy Taylor's departure was reflected in the song to a certain degree. According to songwriter Simon Le Bon, the lyric "Who really gives a damn for a flaky bandit" was a direct dig at the guitarist. As a trio, the band had enlisted the help of Nile Rodgers to take over production duties. His funk influences can be heard throughout the single - for example, the tempo and the use of The Borneo Horns brass section. Rodgers also played the guitar on the single. For the first time, the B-side to the 7" single was not an original recording; "Winter Marches On" was an unaltered version of the Notorious album track. Before this, Duran Duran had always provided either completely original songs or previously unheard remixes on the B-side. As a first for the band, "Notorious" was released as two separate 12" singles. The first had a Nile Rodgers produced "Extended Mix" while the second featured a remix by The Latin Rascals.

The B-side was the instrumental "Alexa de Paris", one of the few tracks from this project featuring a guitar solo. Both songs appear in the film Under the Cherry Moon, with the video for "Mountains" playing as the credits roll. The version shown on MTV to promote the single was in color as opposed to the film's black-and-white version.

Tracklist: 01.The Rolling Stones - One Hit (To The Body) (London Mix) (7:02) 02.The Rolling Stones - One Hit (To The Body) (Edit) (4:08) 03.The Rolling Stones - Fight (3:10) In memory of drummer Charlie Watts 1941-2021. Watts had been a member of the Stones since January 1963, when he joined Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Brian Jones in their fledgling group. Watts helped them become, with The Beatles, one of the bands who took rock 'n' roll to the masses in the 60s with classics like (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction, Jumpin' Jack Flash, Get Off My Cloud and Sympathy for the Devil. He will be deeply missed. "One Hit (To the Body)" is the opening track to English rock band The Rolling Stones' 1986 album Dirty Work. The first Rolling Stones single to feature a Ron Wood co-writing credit with Jagger and Richards, it charted in the USA, Netherlands and Australia. Reaching number 80 in the UK, it was their poorest charting single at the time. Credited to lead singer Mick Jagger, guitarist Keith Richards and guitarist Ron Wood, "One Hit (To the Body)" was largely the work of Richards and Wood. Both guitarists contributed heavily to Dirty Work overall, with Wood receiving credit alongside Jagger and Richards on another three songs. A sign of Wood's heavy contribution is the song's distinctive opening of an acoustic piece. Wood used Richards' own 1967 Martin D-18 to perform the jam in an attempt to come up with a proper electric riff, but the acoustic version remained. The band is known for their use of acoustic guitars to "shadow" their electric guitars; "Brown Sugar" is a prime example. Both Richards and Wood played electric, but the solo was provided by Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page. Page's contribution was the result of a short studio session between him and Wood after Page's request to hear what the band was working on. Drummer Charlie Watts provides the song's driving beat as well as its notable cymbal opening, while Bill Wyman plays bass. Backing vocals on the song were provided by Richards, Wood, Bobby Womack, Patti Scialfa, Don Covay, and producer Steve Lillywhite's wife Kirsty MacColl. Recording and re-recording lasted throughout much of 1985. Two locations used were the Pathé Marconi Studios in Paris and New York City's RPM Studios. "One Hit (To the Body)" was released as Dirty Work's second single on 16 May in the United Kingdom and 9 May in the United States with album track "Fight" as its B-side. The single reached the top 30 in the US. Dirty Work has long been known as the album produced at the height of Jagger and Richards' feud during the 1980s.
Tracklist: 01.Cabaret Voltaire - Here To Go (Extended Mix) (6:57) 02.Cabaret Voltaire - Here To Go (Space Dub) (7:59) In Memory of Richard H. Kirk (1956-2021), who passed away last week, was the co-founder of Cabaret Voltaire, the Sheffield group he formed with Stephen Mallinder and Chris Watson in the mid-1970s. His work with Cabaret Voltaire laid the groundwork for electro-pop, industrial and even punk. He will be missed. "Here To Go" was the second single taken from the eighth studio album C O D E by English electronic band Cabaret Voltaire. "Here To Go" was released in September, 1987 peaking at #16 on the US Billboard Dance Chart, and #88 in the UK.

Dub) (7:16) "Master Mixes" is a 12" EP by Duran Duran, released in Asia, Hong Kong and the USA by Capitol Records-EMI-Masterdisc on 20 June 1987 and in Brazil during December 1987. The 12" vinyl edition released in Asia, Hong Kong and the USA is a double one-sided record, housed in a plain white stickered sleeve. The Brazilian edition was issued in a picture sleeve in December 1987 for promotional purposes, to coincide with the Hollywood Rock Festival shows in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo in January 1988. Rumour had it that the band were readying either "American Science" or "Vertigo" as a likely fourth single from the album Notorious, commissioning remixes in anticipation. However, as both "Skin Trade" and "Meet El Presidente" failed to enter the top 20, plans for a fourth single were quietly scrapped. Masterdisk released this Master Mixes collection, compiling the unused remixes, as well as a further mix of "Skin Trade" and a megamix called "Notoriousaurus Rex" in time for Duran Duran's USA leg of The Strange Behaviour Tour in June and July 1987. **As a special bonus I have included "Skin Trade (S.O.S. Dub)" which was taken from the US "Meet El Presidente" 12" promo single. This mix has never appeared on CD.
Tracklist: 01.Duran Duran - Meet El Presidente (The Presidential Suite) (7:12) 02.Duran Duran - Meet El Presidente (Meet El Beat) (5:30) 03.Duran Duran - Meet El Presidente (45 Mix) (3:40) 04.Duran Duran - Vertigo (Do The Demolition) (4:43) "Meet El Presidente" is the 16th single from Duran Duran, and the third single from the Notorious album. According to a studio report in Star Hits magazine, one of the early drafts of this song was called "One of the Faithful." A demo version by that name can be found on several bootlegs. The album version of the song is considerably different from the single and video versions, and from all the remixes. The former's original key and tempo are maintained, but mixes elements of the master to differing degrees for the single release, the main ones being a more emphatic, up-front mix for the percussion, brass, and backing vocal tracks, throughout the song. "Meet El Presidente" was backed by album track "Vertigo (Do The Demolition)". This was the second single from Notorious to have an album track as b-side. "Meet El Presidente" peaked at #24 in the UK on April 25,1987 in the United States the song readhed #70 on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart on May 2, 1987.
Tracklist: 01.Duran Duran - Skin Trade (Stretch Mix) (7:41) 02.Duran Duran - Skin Trade (Album Version) (5:57) 03.Duran Duran - We Need You (2:51) "Skin Trade" is the second single from Duran Duran's Notorious album, and the band's 15th single in total. It was released in January 1987, reached #22 on the UK Singles Chart, and #39 on the Billboard Hot 100. The music for "Skin Trade" was written long before Simon LeBon finally finished the lyrics. The title for the song was derived from the Dylan Thomas book Adventures in the Skin Trade which John Taylor had on him during recording of the album. It was shortened to "Skin Trade" and LeBon eventually wrote the melody and lyrics for the track while spending an evening in Taylor's Upper West Side Manhattan apartment. The lyrics reflect on how everyone is selling themselves, and "there's a little hooker in each of us". The single was quite a departure for the band. Simon LeBon sang in falsetto, Le Bon admits he was channeling The Rolling Stones lead singer Mick Jagger on their song "Emotional Rescue". A horn section played a prominent role in the track, as played by The Borneo Horns. The band persevered with the single and many aspects of their future business took inspiration from "Skin Trade". They called their publishing company Skin Trade Music Ltd. and the Notorious tour was called the "Strange Behaviour Tour" (a reference to that line of the song). Likewise, a 1987 remix EP and a 1999 double CD collection of remixes were also called Strange Behaviour. Andy Taylor was no longer an official member of Duran Duran by that time, but he was credited as a session guitarist on this song, although apparently he did not participate in the recordings. Meanwhile the new guest musicians, Steve Ferrone and Warren Cuccurullo, played the drums and lead guitars respectively. Nile Rodgers played some lines of the rhythm guitar. In a retrospective review of the single, AllMusic journalist Donald A. Guarisco praised the song. He wrote: "The music lends contrast to the angry tone of the lyrics by creating a sultry, mellow melody that juxtaposes verses with a soft, hypnotic ebb and flow with an ever-ascending chorus that revs up the song's inherent drama." The b-side to "Skin Trade" was the only original b-side released during the Notorious era. Entitled "We Need You", it was written and recorded in 1986 while the band awaited the return of Andy Taylor for a recording session. It was the first recording to feature just the three remaining members of Duran Duran - Nick Rhodes, John Taylor and Simon Le Bon. Two further mixes of "Skin Trade" (S.O.S. Dub & Parisian Mix) were completed, but not released commercially during the "Skin Trade" release cycle. They appeared on a US 12" promo and on a UK 12" promo, backed with remixes of the next single "Meet El Presidente". The "Parisian Mix" was also released on the promo-only Master Mixes EP.

English rock band Siouxsie and the Banshees covered "The Passenger" in 1987 for their all-cover-versions album Through the Looking Glass. The group revamped the song by adding brass arrangements. Released as the second single from that album, it peaked at number 41 in the UK singles chart. Iggy Pop praised their version and stated: "That's good. She sings it well and she threw a little note in when she sings it, that I wish I had thought of, it's kind of improved. The horn thing is good." The song was featured at the end of Tonya Harding's biographical film I, Tonya (2017).

Tracklist: 01.Giant Steps - Another Lover (12" Dance Mix) (7:40) 02.Giant Steps - Another Lover (7" Edit - New Bass) (4:10) 03.Giant Steps - Another Lover (House Dub) (7:25) 04.Giant Steps - Another Lover (LP Version) (4:11) "Another Lover", sometimes titled "(The World Don't Need) Another Lover", is a 1988 song by English duo Giant Steps, from their debut album The Book of Pride. Written by vocalist Colin Campsie, bassist/keyboardist George McFarlane and record producer Gardner Cole, the song was a top 20 hit single in the United States. Released in the middle of 1988, "Another Lover" peaked at number 13 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in November. In addition, the single peaked at number 13 on the Singles Sales chart, number 12 on the Hot 100 Airplay chart, and number 25 on the Adult Contemporary chart. Due to the success of "Another Lover" in the U.S., Giant Steps joined a wave of British acts at the time, including Breathe, Scarlett and Black and the Escape Club, who became "American pop stars" before being exported "back for re-release in Britain." McFarlane said of the single's UK re-release, "Already, we are noticing a better reaction to the record this time around." He added, "It's getting more air play, and the general vibe is a bit better—all because it was a hit in America." Campsie said "When we started out, this is the sound we went for, we were recording lead vocals, and I was knocking them out in three-quarters of an hour. I'm real proud of that. We try not to be too nit-picky about records. If it's good the first time you sing it, then that's very good. The spontaneity has to be there." AllMusic writer William Cooper described the song as "a catchy piece of dance/pop fluff." The song was featured as the opening track to the 1989 comedy film Loverboy starring Patrick Dempsey.
Tracklist: 01.Mel & Kim - That's The Way It Is (Acid House Remix) (7:34) 02.Mel & Kim - That's The Way It Is (Club Mix) (6:39) 03.Mel & Kim - That's The Way It Is (Special Mix) (6:45) "That's the Way It Is" is a hit single by British pop duo Mel and Kim that was featured on the soundtrack album of Coming to America, starring Eddie Murphy. The song was written and produced by Stock Aitken Waterman. The single peaked at #10 in the UK, becoming their fourth consecutive top 10 hit. By the time of the single's release, Melanie Appleby had been diagnosed with cancer and had withdrawn from the public eye in mid-1987.

Some of the songs she co-wrote with Kim Appleby during the last 2 years of her life were later released on Kim's solo album released in late 1990.

Tracklist: 01.Tiffany - Radio Romance (Dance Mix) (6:56) 02.Tiffany - Radio Romance (7" Version) (4:03) 03.Tiffany - Can't Stop A Heartbeat (4:42) "Radio Romance" is the second single from Tiffany's second album Hold an Old Friend's Hand in the US and first from the album in the UK and Australia. By early 1989 radio was changing and the genres played were switching to hip hop and R&B music. There was less room for young pop acts such as Tiffany. As a result, "Radio Romance" failed to achieve the success of her previous singles. It made the Top 40 in the US and managed to become a hit in the UK, where it reached #13. In Japan, the song and Tiffany were featured in TV commercials for Meiji "Lucky" chocolate sticks. The music video for "Radio Romance" was one of Tiffany's most surreal. In the video, she plays a waitress in a diner who calls the radio request line often to request a song for her secret crush. The problem is that he is holding hands with her best friend. Later in the video, Tiffany dances with others in a what looks like a dream sequence. As the video progresses, a child appears with a magic wand which furthers the video's fantasy nature. To promote the single in the US, Tiffany performed the song on the Mickey Mouse Club and The Arsenio Hall Show.

Tracklist: 01.Mavis Staples - Christmas Vacation (3:25) "Christmas Vacation" is the opening song of National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation performed by American rhythm and blues and gospel singer, actress, and civil rights activist Mavis Staples. Though the film didn't have a soundtrack release - and Lindsey Buckingham's de facto Vacation theme "Holiday Road" is nowhere to be heard - there was an original song that kicked off the film and put things in the appropriate spirit. Mavis Stapes' "Christmas Vacation" was written by the husband-and-wife team of Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil, who helped write '60s pop classics like "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" and "On Broadway." Staples was, of course, well-known as a member of the family gospel-soul group The Staple Singers - but 1989 found her restarting her solo career after a decade away. And she did it with a very notable ally: "Christmas Vacation" and that year's album Time Waits for No One was released on the Paisley Park label, owned by '80s megastar Prince - who would write and produce most of that album as well. Despite several popular songs being present in the film, no official soundtrack album was officially released. The same track appears on both sides of this promotional single.

Tracklist: 01.Electric Light Orchestra - Getting To The Point (4:28) 02.Electric Light Orchestra - ELO Megamix (10:07) 03.Electric Light Orchestra - Secret Lives (3:28) I found "Getting To The Point" to be very fitting for the world that we find ourselves in today.

Released in the UK as the last single from the album in July 1986, it was the last original release from the band for 15 years.

There was no release in the rest of Europe. The B-Side of this single is the 1986 Balance of Power album-track "Secret Lives".

Tracklist: 01.Kenny Loggins - Playing With The Boys (Dance Mix) (6:41) 02.Kenny Loggins - Playing With The Boys (Dub Mix) (5:46) “Playing with the Boys” is a song by American singer Kenny Loggins for the Top Gun film, and featured in the volleyball scene toward the middle of the film prior to Maverick’s (Tom Cruise) dinner date with Charlie (Kelly McGillis). Playing with the Boys debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 on August 16, 1986 and peaked at the #60 position. This song was also used for many scenes in the 1990 beach volleyball Side Out film featuring C. Thomas Howell, Peter Horton and Courtney Thorne-Smith.

Tracklist: 01.New Order - Shellshock (Extended Version) (9:41) 02.New Order - Shellshock (Dub Version) (7:32) “Shellshock” is a single released by British group New Order in March 1986. The song originally appeared on the soundtrack to the movie Pretty in Pink one month prior to its single release. Production is credited to New Order and John Robie, and is loosely inspired by the 1983 Robie-produced R&B club hit, “One More Shot” – a studio project where Robie performed under the band name, C-Bank, and featuring vocals by Jenny Burton. The single had differing B-sides; in the UK the 7″ came with the recycled “Thieves Like Us Instrumental” which also turned up in the movie Pretty in Pink (although not on the soundtrack), while the US 12″ promo included a “Dub Mix”. The U.S. 12″ Promo boasts an extended remix of the song running nearly ten minutes, arguably New Order’s longest recording behind the original cut of “Elegia”. For the release of the popular singles compilation Substance, the original Pretty in Pink soundtrack version was not used, as is widely believed, but an edited version of the 12″ remix cut down to six and a half minutes omitting an entire verse of vocals. It is this version that appears most often on CD. As yet, the 9:41 single remix remains unavailable on CD, but the Pretty in Pink soundtrack version contains all of the original vocals. The cover artwork on the 12 inch single is by English photographer Geoff Power and is unique in that the typo ‘Alex’ on the front top cover was not added by Peter Saville, the designer.

It was released as the second single from the soundtrack album Who's That Girl on August 25, 1987, by Sire Records. Written and produced by Madonna and Stephen Bray, the song was inspired by Madonna's relationship with then husband Sean Penn, and his abusive and violent nature. Containing a dance-oriented, up-tempo groove, the song begins with the chorus and is accompanied by a four-note descending bassline and staccato chords in the verse. Since its release, the song has received mixed reviews by critics. It became a top-ten hit in the United States, Australia, Canada, Ireland, Italy, New Zealand, Sweden and the United Kingdom, and topped the Billboard U.S. dance chart. Madonna performed the song on the Who's That Girl World Tour – which was transmitted via satellite to the 1987 MTV Video Music Awards – and the Blond Ambition World Tour in 1990. The performances were included in the home video release of the tours. Of note the song was not included on the 2022 Madonna compilation "Finally Enough Love: 50 Number Ones".

The basic rhythm structure, bass-line, and tempo of Christopher's version bear a striking similarity to that of Michael Jackson's hit, "The Way You Make Me Feel" from his Bad album, which was released the following year.

Tracklist: 01.Pet Shop Boys - West End Girls (Remix '86) (5:02) 02.Pet Shop Boys - Theme For The Pet Shop Boys (Part 1/Remix '86) (5:04) "West End Girls" was the first Pet Shop Boys song released on a label, and is arguably the song most commonly associated with the band. The original version of the song was released in 1984 produced by famed Hi-NRG mogul Bobby Orlando, the single was released on his Bobcat Records label. It was not a huge hit in the Boys' home country, but it did fairly well in the States and in Italy. Under the Bobby O umbrella, 'West End Girls' was remixed and repackaged several times, saturating the world's record stores with multiple formats of this single. In 1986 after the band signed with Parlophone Records the song was remixed, and titled "Remix '86" this was to capitolize off of the re-recorded hit version that had been released in 1985.
Tracklist: 01.Run-DMC - Walk This Way (5:09) 02.Run-DMC - Walk This Way (Instrumental) (3:36) 03.Run-DMC - My Adidas (2:48) "Walk This Way" is a song originally recorded by the American rock band Aerosmith. Written by Steven Tyler and Joe Perry, the song was originally released as the second single from the album Toys in the Attic (1975) from their LP Toys in the Attic. In 1986, the hip hop group Run-DMC covered "Walk This Way", in collaboration with Aerosmith (with its leaders Steven Tyler and Joe Perry on vocals and guitars, respectively). While working on Raising Hell, Rick Rubin pulled out Toys in the Attic. At shows, Run-DMC had freestyled over the first few seconds of the song on a loop, not knowing what the full song sounded like, or even hearing the lyrics. While Joseph Simmons and Darryl McDaniels had no idea who Aerosmith were at that time, Rubin suggested remaking the song. Neither Simmons nor McDaniels liked the idea, though Jam Master Jay was open to it. They didn't want the record to be released as a single even after recording with Tyler and Perry, and were shocked when it was played on both urban and rock radio stations. "I never even thought 'Walk This Way' would be a single," Rubin recalled. "Not that I didn't like it, but I didn't think in those terms." DMC called it "a beautiful thing" in a trailer for Guitar Hero (This later appeared in a scene from the 2011 film The Smurfs). This version of "Walk This Way" charted higher on the Billboard Hot 100 than the original, peaking at number 4. It was also one of the first big hip hop singles in the UK, peaking at number 8. The song marked a major comeback for Aerosmith, as they had been largely out of mainstream pop culture for several years while Tyler battled addiction and Perry and Brad Whitford were out of the band. Their 1985 comeback album, Done with Mirrors, had also not met commercial expectations. Aerosmith followed "Walk This Way" with multi-platinum albums and Top 40 hits, starting with Permanent Vacation and its hit "Dude (Looks Like a Lady)" in 1987. In 2008, "Walk This Way" was ranked number 4 on VH1's "100 Greatest Songs of Hip Hop". This version of the song is currently ranked as the 148th greatest song of all time, as well as the second best song of 1986, by Acclaimed Music. The chorus of Run-DMC's cover contains a pitch alternation that Aerosmith adopted in most future live performances. In collaborations, the other singer often says "talk this way" every alternate line of the chorus. This rap-style delivery may explain why the song worked so well as a hip hop song when it was covered eleven years later.

Tracklist: 01.Beastie Boys - She's Crafty (Special Version) (3:36) 02.Beastie Boys - No Sleep Till Brooklyn (Special Version) (4:07) "No Sleep till Brooklyn" is a song by the New York hip hop group the Beastie Boys, and the sixth single from their debut studio album, Licensed to Ill. One of their signature songs, it describes an exhaustive tour and all the events that make it tiresome, but also emphasizes their determination not to rest until they reach their home base of Brooklyn. "No Sleep till Brooklyn" was a popular concert favorite for the Beastie Boys and traditionally used as their closing song. Among other references to then-popular metal, the title is a play on the Motörhead album No Sleep 'til Hammersmith. The song has been several covers and parodies including Stutter Rap (No Sleep til Bedtime) by Morris Minor and the Majors. Kerry King, guitarist for Slayer, played the guitar riffs and solo; Slayer had released an album produced by Rick Rubin in 1986 (Reign in Blood). In a different tuning, the song interprets "TNT" by AC/DC. More metal commentary and adaptation is added by the video, directed by Ric Menello, as a parody of glam metal. Later in their career, the Beastie Boys continued to perform the song live, although with altered lyrics. "M.C.A.'s in the back because he's skeezin' with a whore," was changed to "M.C.A.'s in the back with the mahjong board", and "Autographed pictures and classy hoes" was changed to "Autographed pictures to nobody knows." The song features one of many homages to New York City's boroughs, and has been described as "joyful ranting". Bob Dylan played the song on the "New York" episode of Season 1 of his Theme Time Radio Hour show in 2007, noting the Beastie Boys were not merely a "flash in the pan" in his introduction.

In 2010, Reznor admitted that the song was his attempt to make a rip-off of the Skinny Puppy song "Dig It" from the 1986 album Mind: The Perpetual Intercourse. The first track on the single edition, "Down in It (Skin)", is the mix found on Pretty Hate Machine.

Tracklist: 01.Public Enemy - 911 Is A Joke (Vocal) (3:19) 02.Public Enemy - 911 Is A Joke (Instrumental) (3:19) 03.Public Enemy - Revolutionary Generation (Vocal) (5:45) 04.Public Enemy - Revolutionary Generation (Instrumental) (5:45) "911 Is a Joke" is a 1990 song by American hip hop group Public Enemy, from their third album, Fear of a Black Planet. The song is solely performed by Flavor Flav. It was released as a single and became a hit in April 1990, reaching number 15 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart, and number one on the Hot Rap Singles chart, becoming their second number-one rap chart hit after "Fight the Power". It also reached number one on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart. This was due largely to its sales, which were unusually high for the level of mainstream airplay it received; Billboard reported that only one of the stations on its Top 40 panel was playing it. The song is about the lack of response to emergency calls in a black neighborhood, but specifically references the poor response by paramedic crews and not the police, which is a common misconception regarding the track; the "911" in the title of the song refers to 9-1-1, the emergency telephone number used in North America. The song was written by Public Enemy member Flavor Flav and producers Keith Shocklee and Eric "Vietnam" Sadler of The Bomb Squad, Public Enemy's production team. Flavor Flav is the featured vocalist. Among the samples used in "911 Is a Joke" is Vincent Price's laughter from "Thriller" by Michael Jackson. Other samples include "Flash Light" by Parliament, "Misunderstood" by Mico Wave, "Think (About It)" by Lyn Collins, "Gottago Gottago!" by Robin Harris, "Devil With the Bust" by Sound Experience, "Feel Like Dancing" by Wilbur "Bad" Bascomb, and "Hit by a Car" and "Singers" by Eddie Murphy. According to law professors Peter DiCola and Kembrew McLeod, if the samples used on "911 Is a Joke" and the other tracks on Fear of a Black Planet had been cleared for copyright under 2010 rates, each copy of the album would have generated a loss of five dollars per album sold, instead of a profit. In 1995, English pop rock band Duran Duran covered "911 Is a Joke" on their Thank You album.

The record was produced by American producer Bobby Eli who has worked with El Debarge, Stevie Wonder, Red Hot Chili Peppers and George Clinton, among others. Both tracks on this record were remixed by one of alternative rock's unsung heroes, Tim Palmer. In the early '80s, Palmer worked as an assistant engineer at Utopia Studios in London, England, helping musicians like Mark Knopfler and Dead Or Alive. In the latter half of the '80s, Palmer became a producer, and his keen ears and technical knowledge contributed to edgy post-punk groups such as The Mighty Lemon Drops, The Mission, Gene Loves Jezebel, and House Of Love acquiring airplay on U.S. modern rock stations; Palmer gaves the band a radio-friendly sheen that didn't mollify their sound. In 1989, Palmer produced David Bowie's debut LP with Tin Machine. The Big Supreme is one of those great obscure 80s offerings that really make you crave more of them sadly they never released a full-length LP, and disappeared just as fast as they began.

Tracklist: 01.George Michael - A Different Corner (Single-Edit) (3:57) 02.George Michael - A Different Cornar (Instrumental) (4:13) 03.George Michael - A Different Corner (Full-Length Version) (4:30) "A Different Corner" is a song written and performed by George Michael that was released on Epic Records (Columbia Records in the US) in 1986. "A Different Corner" was written by Michael while Wham! were at their peak as a duo, and during a low point in his life: "I felt like shit. I went in and recorded exactly the way I felt, and that's the way it sounds. It was partly Wham! and partly the end of a relationship. It was the farthest I'd ever fallen, and in a very short period of time. I had to get rid of it somehow, I had to write about it. That's a really perverse side that I'm sure a lot of writers have—'I feel like shit, but maybe I'll get a good song out of it.'" Michael admitted that "A Different Corner" was the "most honest" and personal song he had ever done. He elaborated further on the song's meaning: "That was about a very quick relationship, a here today gone tomorrow one. It's amazing how emotional you can get in a short period of time and how long it can last. Someone can really shake you up and it takes you a long time to get yourself back on your feet; that was what that was about." According to Michael, the song took roughly 14 hours to write and record from beginning to end. The synthesizer textures were created with a Roland Juno-60 synthesizer. At the time of its release in March 1986, Michael was still a member of pop duo Wham! (the song is included on Wham!'s album Music from the Edge of Heaven only released in Japan and North America, as well as their compilation album The Final, released worldwide), though he and partner Andrew Ridgeley had announced that they would split in the summer after a farewell single, album and concert. Michael had already enjoyed a solo number one on the UK Singles Chart in 1984 with "Careless Whisper", which was credited as Wham! featuring George Michael in the US. After radio DJ Simon Bates first aired "A Different Corner" on Radio 1, he rated the song so highly that he immediately played it again from the beginning. Michael went back to the top of the UK chart with "A Different Corner", becoming the first solo act in the history of the UK chart to reach number one with his first two releases, although he was hardly an unknown or new act on either occasion due to his previous hits with Wham!. The song reached number 7 on the US Billboard Hot 100, thus becoming the first single credited solely to Michael to become an American top-ten hit which was enough to make American executives at Epic Records confident that Michael would be viable as a solo artist and helped get the gears in motion for his solo album debut Faith. It was the first song to reach number one in the UK charts to be written, performed and produced by the same person. The song was also remixed for his compilation Ladies & Gentlemen: The Best of George Michael. This version omitted the guitar and Michael's background vocals during the instrumental break.
Tracklist: 01.Men At Work - Down Under (Extended Mix) (5:29) 02.Men At Work - Sail To You (Extended Mix) (5:50) "Down Under" is a song recorded by Australian rock band Men at Work. It was originally released in 1980 as the B-side to their first local single, "Keypunch Operator", released before the band signed with Columbia Records. Both early songs were written by the group's co-founders, Colin Hay and Ron Strykert. The early version of "Down Under" has a slightly different tempo and arrangement from the later Columbia release. The best-known version was then released on Columbia in 1981 as the second single from their debut album Business as Usual (1981). The hit song went to number one in their home country Australia in December 1981, and then topped the New Zealand charts in February 1982. The song topped the Canadian charts in October 1982. In the United States, the song debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 on 6 November 1982 at No. 79, and reached No. 1 in January 1983. Topping the US Billboard chart for four non-consecutive weeks, it eventually sold over two million copies in the US alone. Billboard ranked it at No. 4 for 1983. In the UK, the song topped the charts in January and February 1983: the only Men at Work song to make the UK top 20. The song also went to No. 1 in Denmark, Ireland, Italy and Switzerland, and was a top 10 hit in many other countries. "Down Under" is perceived as a patriotic song in Australia; it remains popular and is often played at sporting events. In January 2018, as part of Triple M's "Ozzest 100", the 'most Australian' songs of all time so far, "Down Under" was ranked number 2 behind Cold Chisel's "Khe Sanh". Colin Hay told Songfacts: “The chorus is really about the selling of Australia in many ways, the over-development of the country. It was a song about the loss of spirit in that country. It’s really about the plundering of the country by greedy people. It is ultimately about celebrating the country, but not in a nationalistic way and not in a flag-waving sense. It’s really more than that. This 12" was released in Australia to promote the band's first Greatest Hits package titled "81-85" which was issued in November 1986.
Tracklist: 01.Olivia Newton-John - Toughen Up (Dance Remix) (8:04) 02.Olivia Newton-John - Toughen Up (Instrumental Remix) (5:16) “Toughen Up” was the second single taken from the thirteenth studio album “Soul Kiss” by Australian singer Olivia Newton-John on MCA Records. Written by Graham Lyle and Terry Britten (What's Love Got To Do With It) “Toughen Up” had originally been offered to Tina Turner but was rejected. “Toughen Up” failed to make a dent on the U.S. Billboard charts but was quite popular in dance clubs due in part to a 12″ dance remix by John “Jellybean” Benitez. “Toughen Up” did chart in Australia peaking at #69. The song includes a guitar solo by Grammy winning guitarist Lee Ritenour. The music video opens showing a topless Olivia wearing riding pants and holding a riding crop. In the video directed by David Mallet Olivia plays the part of a head mistress for a girls school where she teaches her female students to “Toughen Up” against the men that have done them wrong. Neither track have appeared on CD or digitally.
Tracklist: 01.Kim Wilde - You Keep Me Hangin' On (Extended Mix) (9:02) 02.Kim Wilde - Loving You (4:52) 03.Kim Wilde - You Keep Me Hangin' On (7" Edit) (4:11) During the week of June 6, 1987 Kim Wilde ruled the dance floor in clubs across America with her chart topping cover of the Supremes classic "You Keep Me Hangin' On" which has since become a gay club classic, and should be on every Pride playlist. "You Keep Me Hangin' On" is a song written and composed by Holland–Dozier–Holland. It was first recorded in 1966 by American Motown girl group the Supremes. "You Keep Me Hangin' On" was covered in an updated version by English singer Kim Wilde in 1986. Wilde's version was a total re-working of the original, completely transforming the Supremes' Motown Sound into a hi-NRG song. It was released as the second single from Wilde's fifth studio album, Another Step (although "You Keep Me Hangin' On" was the LP's first worldwide single, as the first single had been released only in selected countries). The song reached number two in Wilde's native United Kingdom, and number one in Australia. It also became Wilde's second and last top-40 entry in the United States following "Kids in America" (1981), as well as her most successful song in that country to date, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for one week in June 1987. It later ranked as the 34th best-selling song of 1987 on Billboard's Hot 100 year-end chart that year. "You Keep Me Hangin' On" was certified silver by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) for UK sales in excess of 250,000 copies.
Tracklist: 01.Paul Lekakis - Boom Boom (Let’s Go Back To My Room) (A Phil Harding Remix) (6:41) 02.Paul Lekakis - Boom Boom (Let’s Go Back To My Room) (A Phil Harding Dub Remix) (5:46) A pretty face won’t get you everywhere… but it got you pretty damn far in the ’80s. And it certainly helped gay musician Paul Lekakis, who went from upstate New York waiter, to model and professional party boy in Milan, to international pop star in 1987 with a little bop called “Boom Boom (Let’s Go Back to My Room.)” The song will certainly resonate with those who survived its ’80s dance-floor domination… and anyone who’s attended a Pride party in the past five years. Lekakis, who is HIV-positive, appeared on the cover of Poz magazine. In the article he recalls major record labels wanting to market him as a teen idol in the 1980s, which did not interest the already out young singer. “Boom Boom (Let’s Go Back to My Room)” is the debut single by American singer and model Paul Lekakis. Originally released in 1987 on ZYX Records, then picked up by Polydor Records for a wider release, the song peaked at #43 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the U.S. and at #60 on the UK Singles Chart in England. It fared better in other parts of the world, where the song spent five weeks at #1 on the ARIA Charts in Australia, from April 13 through May 11 of 1987. It also topped music charts in Japan and South Africa, and peaked at #2 in Canada. The song is noteworthy because it is a well-known 1980s dance club track that nonetheless failed to appear on the U.S. Hot Dance Club Play chart upon its initial release. Subsequent remixes have appeared on that chart, however, as well as some of Lekakis’ other dance recordings. The song was popular in the LGBT community and helped to establish his career, both as a singer and as an actor. Several remixes were commissioned for the track including the rare UK only Champion Remix by mixmaster Phil Harding of PWL released on Champion Records a London based major long-running soul, dance and house music label.
Tracklist: 01.Pet Shop Boys - In The Night (7" Edit Version) (3:39) “In the Night” is a song by UK duo Pet Shop Boys, about the subculture known as the Zazous, which appeared in France during the German occupation of France in World War II; concerned with fashion and music, and allied with neither the Nazis and Vichy France nor the French Resistance, they were distrusted by both sides. Neil Tennant, having read about the movement in a book by David Pryce-Jones, asks, in the song, the question of whether this apathy essentially amounted to collaborationism. The song was scheduled to be released as a single in Germany on March 4, 1987 but was withdrawn with only a 7″ promo being issued. The Artur Baker 7″ edit is exclusive to this release and has never appeared on CD to the best of my knowledge. The full Arthur Baker mix appeared on the album “DISCO”.
Tracklist: 01.Secession - Sneakyville (Extended Mix) (6:18) 02.Secession - Reflections (2:24) 03.Secession - All The Animals Came Out At Night (4:05) 04.Secession - Sneakyville (CD Mix & Edit) (7:37) "Sneakyville" was the eighth and final single released by Scottish synth-pop band Secession. the song was taken from the band's only studio LP "A Dark Enchantment" released on Siren records. The original incarnation comprised Peter Thomson (guitar, keyboards, synthesizer and vocals), Jack Ross (guitar, synthesizer and vocals), Jim Ross (bass guitar) and Carole L. Branston (keyboards and vocals). The band used a small pre-programmed drum machine. Oddly none of the band’s singles charted in the UK or US. After the release of “Sneakyville” the band broke up and some members went on to form alternative rock band The Vaselines. ++ As a bonus track I have included the Hot Tracks Remix Service mix. Mark watkins worked with both the CD & 12" versions. He blended them together with great expertise and voila! this great song now has a smooth intro, and intense break and a long exit, for those procrastinating Dee-jays... The Hot Tracks Mix was taken from Series 8, Issue 1.
Tracklist: 01.Pet Shop Boys - Heart (12" Remix) (8:57) 02.Pet Shop Boys - Heart (Dub Mix) (5:16) 03.Pet Shop Boys - I Get Excited (You Get Excited Too) (4:53) "Heart" is a song by English synth-pop duo Pet Shop Boys from their second studio album, Actually (1987). It was released as the album's fourth and final single on 21 March 1988. The song topped the UK Singles Chart for three weeks in April 1988, becoming the duo's fourth and final chart-topper to date in the United Kingdom. The group had initially written the song for Madonna, though they never asked her to record it, instead keeping it for themselves. Written by Chris Lowe and Neil Tennant, "Heart" was the fourth and final single from the duo's second studio album, Actually. A new mix different to the album version was released as a single in March 1988, ascending to the top of the charts to become the duo's fourth—and, to date, last—UK number-one single. It was also successful across Europe. The genesis of the song goes back to the sessions for the duo's first album Please in early 1986 with Shep Pettibone. Originally, the duo had planned to offer it to Hi-NRG singer Hazell Dean or—more notoriously—Madonna, but they ultimately kept it for themselves. The duo's version of the song was intended to be used in the Steven Spielberg-produced film Innerspace, but the dance sequence it was intended for was at the wrong tempo for the song. The song was originally called "Heartbeat", but was changed after Culture Club drummer Jon Moss announced the formation of a group named Heartbeat UK. The lyrics are more traditional than most Pet Shop Boys songs, being a straightforward declaration of love—a characteristic common in many pop songs. On the commentary of the Pet Shop Boys' live video album Cubism, Tennant reveals that the "oh – ah – oh'oh ah" refrain which repeats throughout the song features the vocals of himself, Pavarotti and Wendy Smith (of Prefab Sprout). According to Tennant they were inspired by the song I Like You by Phyllis Nelson, which was produced by Shep Pettibone, who did a remix of Heart. The song was re-recorded for Actually with producer Andy Richards, and was mixed by Julian Mendelsohn. The single remix is an edit of the Richards' version with the use of wah-wah guitar, giving the song more of a 1970s sound. Despite topping the UK chart for three weeks and being a worldwide success, the duo themselves tend to dismiss it, with Lowe stating in 2001: "It just shows that chart positions aren't the be all and end all. 'Heart' isn't in the same league as 'Being Boring'." However, many fans regard the song highly and Pet Shop Boys like it enough to have performed the song on their 1989 tour, the Fundamental world tour in 2006 and 2007 as well as their Pandemonium tour in 2009–2010. When included on the retrospective PopArt: The Hits collection, the album version of the track was used for the UK release rather than the hit single mix, the reason for this is unknown. The single mix was included on the US release. Directed by Jack Bond, director of the band's 1987 film It Couldn't Happen Here, the music video for "Heart" is based on the 1922 film Nosferatu. The video opens with Tennant and his bride (played by model Danijela Čolić Prižmić) being driven to a castle with Lowe as his chauffeur. As he goes to bed with his bride, the vampire, played by Ian McKellen, spies them. Later, he seduces the bride and bites her. Finally, Lowe drives Nosferatu and his bride away, leaving Tennant to stare bitterly after them from a castle window. The video was shot in Mokrice Castle, Slovenia, then one of the Yugoslavia republics. "Heart" Remix is the second of two 12″ releases in the UK. The 12" Remix, and Dub Mix were omitted from the Actually Further Listening 1987–1988 (bonus disc) released in 2001 and again in 2018.

Tracklist: 01.Robin Stanley - Get Ready (Club Mix) (6:28) 02.Robin Stanley - Get Ready (Yahney's Dub) (5:10) 03.Robin Stanley - Get Ready (Instrumental) (6:29) Despite the “Death Of Disco” at the end of the 1970s, the desire for a different type of dance music was being demanded by the gay clubs in the U.S., and U.K.. Hi-NRG dance music filled that need and became all the rage in the mid to late 1980s. One of those records that I remember dancing to at an after hours club called The Wreck Room in Oklahoma City was"Get Ready" by Robin Stanley a cover of a Motown song written by Smokey Robinson, which resulted in two hit records for the label: a U.S. No. 29 version by The Temptations in 1966, and a U.S. No. 4 version by Rare Earth in 1970. Robin Stanley's 1986 version is a 138 BPM floor filling Hi-NRG dance track released on the legendary Oak Lawn Records label based in Dallas Texas.

Tracklist: 01.George Harrison - Got My Mind Set On You (Extended Version) (5:19) 02.George Harrison - Got My Mind Set On You (Single Version) (3:51) 03.George Harrison - Lay His Head (3:51) "Got My Mind Set on You" (also written as "(Got My Mind) Set on You") is a song written and composed by Rudy Clark and originally recorded by James Ray in 1962. In 1987, George Harrison released a cover version of the song on his album Cloud Nine, which he had recorded on his Dark Horse Records label. The first time Harrison heard the song was during a visit to his sister in the United States in 1963–five months before the Beatles first appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show. His sister lived in the countryside of Illinois. While there, Harrison visited record shops and bought a variety of albums. One was James Ray's 1962 album that contained the song "I've Got My Mind Set on You." In January 1987, Harrison began recording the song at his Friar Park home studio, with Jeff Lynne (ELO) producing and playing bass and keyboards, Jim Keltner on drums, Jim Horn on sax, and Ray Cooper on percussion. Of Harrison's three number-one singles in the US, it was the only song not written or composed by Harrison himself. Not only was it the last US No. 1 hit by Harrison, but, as of 2022, his last top 10 hit in the US. When the song hit No. 1, it broke a three-way tie between Harrison, John Lennon, and Ringo Starr, all of whom had two No. 1 hit singles as solo artists (discounting Paul McCartney's work with Wings). It also happened to be the No. 1 single in the US the week immediately preceding the induction of the Beatles into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, making Harrison one of the few inductees to have an active single on the US record charts at the time of induction. Billboard ranked the song as No. 3 for 1988. The single's B-side is "Lay His Head", a remixed version of the unreleased song from Harrison's originally intended Somewhere in England album. The 12-inch version of the single also adds an extended version of "Got My Mind Set on You". In the UK, the single spent four weeks at number two. It was kept off the number 1 spot by T'Pau's "China in Your Hand" becoming the 5th best selling single of 1987.

Tracklist: 01.Debbie Gibson - Shake Your Love (Club Mix) (5:54) 02.Debbie Gibson - Out Of The Blue (Drumapella) (4:05) 03.Debbie Gibson - Only In My Dreams (Club Mix) (6:32) 04.Debbie Gibson - Foolish Beat (Extended Mix) (6:44) 05.Debbie Gibson - Out Of The Blue (Club Mix) (5:52) 06.Debbie Gibson - Shake Your Love (Bassa Pella) (3:33) "Super-Mix Club" is a Japan only Mini-LP released by American female singer, songwriter, producer and actress Debbie Gibson featuring remixes from her debut album "Out Of The Blue". A child prodigy, she started writing songs when she was 5 years old, and learned record production at the age of 12. She studied classical piano at New York's Juliard School of Music and has appeared in several Broadway stage productions, most notably, "Les Miserables" and in the London theatre production of "Grease". Gibson released her debut album Out of the Blue in 1987, which spawned several international hits, later being certified triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. One of those singles, "Foolish Beat", made Gibson the youngest female artist to write, produce, and perform a Billboard Hot 100 number-one single. Gibson is the sole songwriter on all of her singles to reach the top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100. She was recognized by ASCAP as Songwriter of the Year, along with Bruce Springsteen, in 1989. After years of writing and producing her own material, a demonstration tape of Gibson's submitted to a radio personality was eventually shared with an executive at Atlantic Records. Based solely on Gibson's original song, "Only in My Dreams", she was signed to a development deal and began a promotional tour of club venues throughout the United States. Gibson spent much of 1986 and the beginning of 1987 building her songwriting catalog, while continuing to play club dates. During her promotional tour, Gibson continued attending classes at Calhoun High School in Merrick, New York, where she later graduated as an honor student. Diane Gibson, Debbie's mother and manager, accompanied her daughter on many of these track dates. "We played dance clubs, straight clubs, and gay clubs," Diane has said. The single "Only in My Dreams" was released in December 1986 and landed in the Billboard Hot 100 chart beginning in May 1987, peaking at number four that September. Atlantic Records and Gibson worked to complete her first album as a result of the good showing by the single. Following the success of "Only In My Dreams", "Shake Your Love" was released as the follow-up single and reached the Billboard top five. The "Shake Your Love" video was choreographed by Paula Abdul and was the first time MTV had visited Gibson on a video shoot. In 1987, while performing at nightclubs throughout the United States, Gibson recorded her debut album, Out of the Blue. Along with producer Fred Zarr, Gibson wrote, recorded, and produced it in four weeks. Four singles from the album reached the top five of the Hot 100 chart: "Only in My Dreams", "Shake Your Love", "Out of the Blue", and the number-one hit "Foolish Beat", followed by "Staying Together", which performed more modestly, reaching number 22. "Foolish Beat" set a record, making Gibson at 16 the youngest artist to write, produce, and perform a Billboard number-one single, as cited in the 1988 Guinness Book of World Records. She remains the youngest female artist to have done so. Out of the Blue became a hit album, and she had success in the UK and southeast Asia, filling stadiums with her Out of the Blue tour. By the end of 1988, Out of the Blue had gone triple platinum.
Tracklist: 01.Elton John - Mona Lisas And Mad Hatters (Part Two) (The Renaissance Mix) (6:18) 02.Elton John - Mona Lisas And Mad Hatters (Part Two) (The Da Vinci Version) (4:47) 03.Elton John - A Word In Spanish (4:38) 04.Elton John - Mona Lisas And Mad Hatters (Part Two) (The Self Portrait Instrumental) (4:56) Gay Icon Elton John made sure to send a message to people who were cast out like him. He reassured people who were not fitting in that they would eventually find their place. Over the years he has been working for AIDS prevention. He has also established the Elton John AIDS Foundation in 1992, which has raised more than $400 million. As well as an annual high-profile Oscar party which also raises money for AIDS prevention. "Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters (Part Two)" is a song by English musician Elton John and songwriter Bernie Taupin from the album Reg Strikes Back. It was released as a 12" single in 1988 only in the United States. Although not a particularly popular song, some critics judged it as a "most intriguing" song or the "brightest moment" of the album. John said: "That's probably my favorite track on the album. It just has a great New York feel". He played both versions of the song sequentially in concerts from the release of "Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters (Part Two)" in 1988 through to 1993. The song is about New York City and is a continuation of the song "Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters" from the 1972 album Honky Château. Although the song follows the same meaning of its predecessor, it has a very different tempo and instrumental arrangement, and is in many ways a more complex song, with a variety of key changes and unusual chords throughout the song. There is also a brief homage to the Beatles' song "Drive My Car" that can be heard during the trumpet solo, where Elton and the backup singers interject "beep beep, beep beep, yeah!".
Tracklist: 01.INXS - Need You Tonight (Liebrand Remix) (7:16) 02.INXS - New Sensation (Extended Dance Mix) (6:31) 03.INXS - Move On (4:46) "Need You Tonight" is a song by the Australian rock band INXS, released as the first single from their 1987 album, Kick, as well as the fourth song on the album. It is the only INXS single to reach No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. It also achieved their highest charting position in the United Kingdom, where the song reached number two on the UK Singles Chart; however, this peak was only reached after a re-release of the single in November 1988. On its first run on the U.K. charts in October 1987, it stalled at No. 58. It was one of the last songs recorded for the album, yet it would arguably become the band's signature song. This 12" is the 1988 reissue (mainly aimed at Europe and especially the U.K. where the single had previously stalled at No. 58 in 1987) which incorporated new artwork and packaging plus remixes Ben Liebrand. There was also a another more widley available 12" and CD single with remixes by Julian Mendelsohn. The Liebrand Remix was only released on 12" in the U.K.

The new line-up re-recorded and released "Supersonic" in April 1988 as a single; this version reached number 10 on the Billboard Hot Dance/Club Play Songs and number 22 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart. "Supersonic" stayed on the dance charts for eight weeks. The single was certified gold by RIAA, and also got nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance in 1989, making them the first all-female rap group to be nominated for a Grammy award. They lost the award to DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince for "Parents Just Don't Understand".
Tracklist: 01.Johnny Kemp - Just Got Paid (5:24) 02.Johnny Kemp - Just Got Paid (7" Version) (3:33) 03.Johnny Kemp - Just Got Paid (Dub Mix) (5:23) 04.Johnny Kemp - Just Got Paid (Instrumental) (5:25) "Just Got Paid" is a 1988 single by Bahamian R&B singer–songwriter Johnny Kemp. The song started as an instrumental track by Teddy Riley for which Keith Sweat wrote lyrics. Sweat ultimately passed on the song that was originally written for his 1987 debut Make It Last Forever. Kemp recorded a demo of the new song, intending for it to be used by another singer; his "scratch vocal" ended up on the final release. The song hit No. 1 on the U.S. R&B and Dance charts and reached No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100. "Just Got Paid" received a Grammy Award nomination for Best R&B Song at the 31st Grammy Awards in 1989. It lost out to Anita Baker's "Giving You the Best That I Got".

The single reached #71 on the Hot Black singles chart and #35 on the Hot 100 singles chart. The song was most successful on the dance chart reaching #1 for one week in early summer 1988. Peeples decided to venture into the music industry after she came to recognition as a regular cast in the musical television series Fame.
Tracklist: 01.Pet Shop Boys - Heart (Disco Mix) (8:28) 02.Pet Shop Boys - I Get Excited (You Get Excited Too) (4:54) 03.Pet Shop Boys - Heart (Dance Mix) (6:10) "Heart" is a song by English synth-pop duo Pet Shop Boys from their second studio album, Actually (1987). Written by Chris Lowe and Neil Tennant, "Heart" was the fourth and final single from the duo's second studio album, Actually. A new mix different to the album version was released as a single in March 1988, ascending to the top of the charts to become the duo's fourth—and, to date, last—UK number-one single. It was also successful across Europe. The genesis of the song goes back to the sessions for the duo's first album Please in early 1986 with Shep Pettibone. Originally, the duo had planned to offer it to Hi-NRG singer Hazell Dean or—more notoriously—Madonna, but they ultimately kept it for themselves. The duo's version of the song was intended to be used in the Steven Spielberg-produced film Innerspace, but the dance sequence it was intended for was at the wrong tempo for the song. The song was originally called "Heartbeat", but was changed after Culture Club drummer Jon Moss announced the formation of a group named Heartbeat UK. The lyrics are more traditional than most Pet Shop Boys songs, being a straightforward declaration of love—a characteristic common in many pop songs. On the commentary of the Pet Shop Boys' live video album Cubism, Tennant reveals that the "oh – ah – oh'oh ah" refrain which repeats throughout the song features the vocals of himself, Pavarotti and Wendy Smith (of Prefab Sprout). According to Tennant they were inspired by the song I Like You by Phyllis Nelson, which was produced by Shep Pettibone, who did a remix of Heart. The song was re-recorded for Actually with producer Andy Richards, and was mixed by Julian Mendelsohn. The single remix is an edit of the Richards' version with the use of wah-wah guitar, giving the song more of a 1970s sound. Despite topping the UK chart for three weeks and being a worldwide success, the duo themselves tend to dismiss it, with Lowe stating in 2001: "It just shows that chart positions aren't the be all and end all. 'Heart' isn't in the same league as 'Being Boring'." However, many fans regard the song highly and Pet Shop Boys like it enough to have performed the song on their 1989 tour, the Fundamental world tour in 2006 and 2007 as well as their Pandemonium tour in 2009–2010. When included on the retrospective PopArt: The Hits collection, the album version of the track was used for the UK release rather than the hit single mix, the reason for this is unknown. The single mix was included on the US release.
Tracklist: 01.Wet Wet Wet - Wishing I Was Lucky (Gotta Job Mix) (6:25) 02.Wet Wet Wet - Wishing I Was Lucky (Instrumental Dub) (4:28) 03.Wet Wet Wet - Wishing I Was Lucky (Live) (3:50) "Wishing I Was Lucky" is the debut single of Scottish band Wet Wet Wet, released as the lead single from their first album, Popped in Souled Out (1987). Recorded for £600 in Edinburgh, it was released in March 1987 and was their first hit, peaking at No. 6 on the UK Singles Chart and No. 10 in Ireland. The following year, the song reached the top 20 in Belgium and the Netherlands, while in the United States, "Wishing I Was Lucky" became the group's first of two songs to chart on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 58. Tommy Cunningham later said of the song: "I was in a queue in a chip shop in Glasgow when it came on Radio Clyde. I felt like shouting to everybody, 'That's me and my mates!' It was an incredible feeling I've not forgotten." Marti Pellow recorded an acoustic, solo version of the song for inclusion on his 2002 album, Marti Pellow Sings the Hits of Wet Wet Wet & Smile.

This was the song that returned the Bee Gees to American radio and would turn out to be their biggest US hit in the 1980s, and their last hit single to reach the US top ten. It was their first Top 10 hit since "Love You Inside Out" was #1 in June 1979. It peaked at number seven on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in September 1989, and it stayed in the Top 40 for ten weeks. It also topped the American adult contemporary chart that same month, remaining at number one for two weeks. The track reached No. 71 in the UK Singles Chart. **This U.S. 12" Promo contains exclusive vinyl only remixes.

Plus, there is that unique, sultry purr of a voice. Kitt appeared at many LGBTQ fundraisers and she spent a great deal of her time dedicating herself to working with the Gay Men’s Health Crisis and other HIV/AIDS charities. Her 1989 single Cha-Cha Heels, recorded with Bronski Beat, was thumping away at the dance clubs during the worst years of the plague and the club kids and the older clones fell in love with Kitt. In 1989, Jonathan Hellyer became Bronski Beat's lead singer, and the band extensively toured the U.S. and Europe with back-up vocalist Annie Conway. They achieved one minor hit with the song "Cha Cha Heels", a one-off collaboration sung by American actress and singer Eartha Kitt, which peaked at 32 in the UK. The song was originally written for movie and recording star Divine, who was unable to record the song before his death in 1988.

Tracklist: 01.Madonna - Hanky Panky (Bare Bottom 12" Mix) (6:27) 02.Madonna - Hanky Panky (Bare Bones Single Mix) (3:50) 03.Madonna - More (Album Bersion) (4:57) 04.Madonna - Now I'm Following You (Digital Mix) (6:58) "Hanky Panky" is a song by American singer Madonna from her soundtrack album I'm Breathless. It was released on June 12, 1990, by Sire Records as the album's second and final single. Written and produced by Madonna and Patrick Leonard, the song was developed from a line in the parent film, Dick Tracy, talking about a woman who enjoys being spanked by her partner. Performed in a playful, “tongue-in-cheek” style, "Hanky Panky" is a jazz and swing song, keeping with the film’s general theme of the 1920s and 1930s, with a changing bassline and minor to major key-shift in the chorus. It caused some controversy in Ireland because of its innuendo and racy lyrics, with women's groups deeming them as harmful; Madonna later clarified that the lyrics were intended as a joke. The song garnered positive response from music critics, many of them highlighting its lyrical content. It was a commercial success, becoming a top-ten hit in many countries including Australia, Ireland, Italy, the United Kingdom and the United States while topping the chart in Finland. Madonna has performed the song on two of her concert tours: Blond Ambition (1990) and Re-Invention (2004). The song has been covered by several tribute acts and was also performed on the television series Ally McBeal (1997). In 1990, Madonna starred in the film Dick Tracy as Breathless Mahoney—a new role introduced for her—with Warren Beatty, her boyfriend at the time, playing the titular character. After the shooting for Dick Tracy was over, Madonna started working on the soundtrack. She had begun recording three songs written by Stephen Sondheim for the film—"Sooner or Later", "More" and "What Can You Lose"—which would be part of the album, but also had to write and develop new songs comparable in style to her previous releases. She produced the entire album, including the Sondheim songs. "I want people to think of me as a musical comedy actress. That's what this album is about for me. It's a stretch. Not just pop music, but songs that have a different feel to them, a theatrical feel", she said at the time. Madonna recruited producer Patrick Leonard and engineer Bill Bottrell to help her with the project. She and Leonard toiled to create music that would fit the style and production of the film, set in the days of the Untouchables law enforcement. "Hanky Panky" was written and produced by Madonna and Leonard and was released as the second and final single from I'm Breathless on June 12, 1990. The cassette and the 7-inch versions had "More", another song from the album as its B-side, while the 12-inch releases had two remixes of the song by Kevin Gilbert. Cover photograph for the single was done by Patrick Demarchelier with Jeri Heiden designing the sleeves. As a BONUS TRACK I have included the Razormaid Remix Service ...Maid! How Slow Can You Go? #2 Digital Mix of "Now I'm Following You" a song which was also part of the I'm Breathless Soundtrack album. The song was not released as a single but an acetate promo 12" single does exist.

A music video was produced to promote the single. It featured Hammer and several of his dancers performing in their unique style around the Addams mansion as well as most of the cast of the film. The video opens with Hammer pleading with Wednesday (Christina Ricci) and Pugsley (Jimmy Workman) to refrain from chopping his head off with a guillotine. It concludes with several scenes taking place in the Addamses' backyard cemetery, including Thing crawling up and down a Hammer dancer and Gomez (Raúl Juliá) dueling in a sword-fight with Hammer over Morticia (Anjelica Huston). The music video was played prior to the beginning of the film during its theatrical release. The video also features a 13-year old Jimmy Rollins as an extra.
Tracklist: 01.Aqua - Barbie Girl (Spike's Plastic Mix) (8:45) 02.Aqua - Barbie Girl (Radio Edit) (3:15) 03.Aqua - Barbie Girl (Spike's Anatomically Correct Dub) (7:57) 04.Aqua - Barbie Girl (Extended Version) (5:14) "Barbie Girl" is a song by Danish dance-pop group Aqua. It was released in April 1997 as the third single from the group's debut studio album, Aquarium (1997). The song was written by band members Søren Rasted, Claus Norreen, René Dif, and Lene Nystrøm, and was produced by the former two alongside Johnny Jam and Delgado. It was written after Rasted saw an exhibit on kitsch culture in Denmark that featured Barbie dolls. The song topped the charts worldwide, particularly in European countries such as the United Kingdom, where it was a number-one hit for four weeks and remains one of the best-selling singles of all time. It also reached number two in the group's homeland and peaked at number seven on the US Billboard Hot 100, where it became Aqua's only top-ten hit until "Barbie World" (2023). It is Aqua's most popular work and was also performed as the interval act in the Eurovision Song Contest 2001. It also became the subject of the controversial lawsuit Mattel, Inc. v. MCA Records, Inc. The lyrics of the song are about Barbie and Ken, the dolls made by Mattel. Both the song and its music video feature Lene Nystrøm as Barbie and René Dif as Ken. As such, the lyrics drew the ire of Barbie's corporate owners, and a lawsuit was filed by Mattel. A footnote on the back of the Aquarium CD case precisely stated that "The song 'Barbie Girl' is a social comment and was not created or approved by the makers of the doll." "Barbie Girl" has sold more than eight million copies worldwide. It went on becoming a huge hit on several continents, remaining the most successful song by the band. It reached number one in more than 10 countries. In Europe, the single peaked at the top position in Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Scotland, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, as well as on the Eurochart Hot 100. In the band's native Denmark, the song debuted and peaked at number two. In the United Kingdom, it debuted on the UK Singles Chart at number two and reached number one the next week, on 26 October 1997. It stayed at that position for four weeks and has sold 1.84 million copies in the United Kingdom as of April 2017, making it the thirteenth best-selling single in the UK. Outside Europe, "Barbie Girl" peaked at number-one in Australia and New Zealand, number four in Canada and number seven on the US Billboard Hot 100. On the latter, it debuted at that position. It sold 82,000 copies in its first week and debuted at number five on the Billboard Hot Singles Sales chart. In September 1997, six months after the release of the song by Aqua, Mattel, the manufacturer of the Barbie doll, sued MCA Records, Aqua's North American record label. Mattel claimed that "Barbie Girl" violated their trademark and turned her into a sex object, referring to her as a "blonde bimbo". It alleged that the song infringed its copyrights and trademarks on the Barbie doll and that the song's lyrics had ruined the longtime popularity and reputation of their trademark and impinged on their marketing plan. Aqua and MCA Records claimed that Mattel injected their own meanings into the song's lyrics. They contested Mattel's claims and countersued for defamation after Mattel had likened MCA to a bank robber. The lawsuit filed by Mattel was dismissed by the lower courts, and this dismissal was upheld, though Mattel took their case up to the Supreme Court of the United States, but that appeal was later rejected. In 2009, Mattel released a series of advertisements and a promotional music video of the song, with modified lyrics, as part of a new marketing strategy brought in to revive sales. Despite this, the Mattel-produced film Barbie released in 2023 does not feature the original song, as stated by Ulrich Møller-Jørgensen, who manages lead singer Lene Nystrøm. "Barbie World", a remake of the song by Nicki Minaj, Ice Spice and Aqua, was later announced to be featured in the film and on the film's soundtrack.
Tracklist: 01.George Michael - Outside (Hex Hector 12" Vocal Mix) (8:48) 02.George Michael - Outside (Sharp "Unlocked" Remix) (8:28) 03.George Michael - Outside (Razor-n-Guido Orange 'e' Dub) (9:56) 04.George Michael - Outside (Album Version) (4:43) After George Michael was outed by the media, he returned to music with “Outside”, satirising his arrest for lewd conduct in an L.A. public restroom,
and sending a statement to anybody who thought he might retreat back into the closet. Its video was set in a men’s bathroom complete with disco ball and light-up floor, with Michael dressed as an LAPD police officer. "Outside" is a song by English singer-songwriter George Michael, released on 19 October 1998 as the lead single from his first greatest hits album, Ladies & Gentlemen: The Best of George Michael (1998). It was released through Epic Records and reached number two on the UK Singles Chart, becoming Michael's most recent UK top-three hit. In Greece, Hungary, and Spain, the song peaked at number one. The song was Michael's first single since his arrest for engaging in a lewd act six months earlier by an undercover police officer in the public lavatoryl of the Will Rogers Memorial Park in Beverly Hills, California – an incident that prompted him to declare his homosexuality, which had been rumoured for some years but never publicly confirmed. Michael disparaged the incident in the lyrics, claiming he wanted an alfresco sex life because he was bored with lovemaking behind closed doors. Reference to the Beverly Hills affair came with the line "I'd service the community, but I already have, you see" (he was sentenced to 80 hours of community service for the offense) and direct samples of radio reports of his arrest. In a 2004 interview with Adam Mattera for UK magazine Attitude, Michael reflected: "I felt that lightening the stigma around cruising was the most immediately beneficial thing I could do. I know for a fact that when I was 16, 17, when I started cruising, that watching the Outside video would have taken some of the weight off my shoulders." The song was recorded at Sarm West in London with a string section and arrangement by Andrew Skeet. "Outside" peaked at number one in Greece, Hungary, and Spain. In addition, it reached number two in the United Kingdom, number three in Italy, number four in Denmark, number five in Iceland, number seven in Ireland, and number eight in Finland. On the Eurochart Hot 100, "Outside" reached number three in November 1998. Outside Europe, the song reached number three on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart, number 11 in New Zealand, and number 13 in Australia. **This 12" Promo contains vinyl only U.S. remixes.

When DjPaulT posts a re-rip, it seems you just replace the original with the new one. But I think it is not safe to assume that the new rip is actually better. I have noticed sometimes it is worse. Have you considered keeping the old rips in the torrent too? Or maybe make a separate torrent of old/replaced rips?

Tracklist: 01.David Bowie - Magic Dance (A Dance Mix) (7:15) 02.David Bowie - Magic Dance (Dub) (5:30) 03.David Bowie - Within You (3:29) "Magic Dance" (also known as "Dance Magic") is a song written and recorded by the English singer David Bowie for the Jim Henson musical fantasy film Labyrinth (1986). It was released as a single in limited markets worldwide in January 1987. Bowie wrote and recorded five songs for Labyrinth, in which he also starred as Jareth, the king of the goblins. "Magic Dance" was written for a scene in which Jareth and his goblins entertain a crying baby that has been wished away to them by the film's heroine, Sarah Williams. In the film, Bowie performs the number with Toby Froud as the baby, and 50 puppets and 12 costumed extras as the goblins. Described as a "simple dance number that's driven by electric bass and emphatic drums" "Magic Dance" includes song lyrics that refer to the film The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer (1947) starring Cary Grant and Shirley Temple, in which the two have a call and reply verse: "You remind me of a man." "What man?" "The man with the power." "What power?" "The power of hoodoo." "Who do?" "You do!". In "Magic Dance," "man" is replaced with "babe" and "hoodoo" with "voodoo". According to Nicholas Pegg, the verse is an "old playground nonsense-chant" that was originally popularized by The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer. Bowie performed the baby's gurgles in the song recording of "Magic Dance", as backing vocalist Diva Gray's baby, the intended vocalist, wouldn't gurgle on the microphone. In the actual scene of the film, baby vocals were dubbed in by a more cooperative infant. During the movie's production, and in the end credits, the song was referred to as "Dance Magic." Magic Dance" is the third track on the Labyrinth soundtrack, released in July 1986 to coincide with the film's US premiere. In 1987 the song was released on 12" in limited markets, including the US. A single version was mixed but never released, and an edit of the "Dance Mix" (incorrectly labeled as the 'single mix') was released on the New Zealand edition of Best of Bowie (2002). The single was not released commercially in the UK until the digital download version was made available in early 2007. In 1986, "Magic Dance" peaked at #40 in New Zealand. At the time of Bowie's death in 2016, "Magic Dance" was the 19th highest selling Bowie song digitally downloaded in the United Kingdom.
Tracklist: 01.Exposé - Point Of No Return (Extended Mix) (9:42) 02.Exposé - Point Of No Return (Crossover Mix) (5:48) 03.Exposé - Dub Of No Retun (Strikes Again) (6:33) "Point of No Return" is a single by the American pop group Exposé. Written and produced by Lewis Martineé. Exposé was initially formed in 1984 when Lewis Martineé, a Miami disc jockey and producer, decided to form a dance-based group. Working with his partners Ismael Garcia and Frank Diaz at Pantera Productions, talent scouts hired Sandra Casañas (Sandeé), Alejandra Lorenzo (Alé), and Laurie Miller as the group’s lineup, under the title X-Posed. The next year, the trio recorded “Point of No Return” for Pantera Records as a 12-inch vinyl single, which became a #1 hit on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart. The song helped to introduce a still-popular genre of music that became known as freestyle, which often features keyboard riffs, a sing-along chorus, and electro funk drum-machine patterns in the music arrangement. The success of “Point of No Return” quickly led Exposé to sign with Arista/BMG Records, which promptly assumed distribution of the 12-inch vinyl single. During the recording of the group’s first studio album Exposure, the personnel of the group changed. Reports vary based on the source. According to People magazine, one of the original singers quit while two of the girls were fired midway through the recording of the first album, but according to Billboard, all three were fired. Arista records felt that the three original singers lacked star potential. Martinee states that he made the decision himself to replace the three girls, while Miller maintains it was all their choice, and Jurado confirms that Lorenzo wanted to leave. Shortly thereafter, Casañas pursued a solo career and Lorenzo pursued other ambitions; they were replaced by Jeanette Jurado and Gioia Bruno. Miller began a solo career; she was replaced by Ann Curless. In February 1987, the new lineup of Exposé released its debut album, Exposure, on Arista Records. Notably, unlike many classic girl groups, Exposé alternated lead vocals among its members. During the summer of 1987, a re-recorded version of “Point of No Return” was released, with Jurado performing lead vocals, and it topped out at #5 on the Hot 100 in July 1987. While the initial distribution of Exposure to suppliers contained the original 1984 version of that song, subsequent pressings contained the new vocal version; this has led to the original pressings of the album being considered a collector’s item. "It's just a little song about loving somebody to the point of no return," said songwriter Lewis Martineé when asked if there was a deeper meaning to the song. "I just liked the title 'Point Of No Return,' so I decided to write a song around that. Then I started coming up with the beats and the synthesizer lines and then both melody and words. I wrote that song so fast it was crazy, like, literally 15 minutes. But then I didn't like the bridge and I changed it. I'm glad I did because the bridge actually came out really good at the end." The music video for the song was directed by Ralph Ziman, and included the new 1987 lineup of Jeanette Jurado, Gioia Bruno and Ann Curless recieving heavy rotation on MTV and VH-1.

The song was taken from their debut LP The Circle & the Square. During this period the group found themselves at odds with their record company regarding what it perceived as a lack of mainstream appeal in their choice of material, despite the success of of their previous single "Lean on Me" in the UK and Europe. Toulson-Clarke responded to WEA's request for something to appeal to American radio with the sardonic "For America", which lambasted what he saw as the style-over-content approach of the American media, as well as alluding to American military involvement in Grenada and Nicaragua. The song was not a hit in the United States, though it did worldwide outsell "Lean on Me", reaching number one in six countries and the top ten in several others including the UK, where it spent twelve weeks in the chart peaking at number ten.

Tracklist: 01.Aerosmith - Dude (Looks Like A Lady) (Urban Dude Mix) (6:45) 02.Aerosmith - Dude (Looks Like A Lady) (Dude This Way) (A Cappella) (4:16) 03.Aerosmith - Dude (Looks Like A Lady) (Extended Rockin' Dude Mix) (5:46) 04.Aerosmith - Dude (Looks Like A Lady) (Rockin' Dude Edit) (3:51) "Dude (Looks Like a Lady)" is a song by American rock band Aerosmith. It was released as the lead single from the band's ninth studio album Permanent Vacation in 1987. The track reached number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100, number 41 on the Hot Dance Club Play chart, number four on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, number 22 on the Canadian RPM Top Singles chart and number 45 on the UK Singles Chart. It was re-released in early 1990 and peaked at number 20 in the UK. It was certified gold in the UK for sales and streams exceeding over 400,000 units. The song was written by lead singer Steven Tyler, lead guitarist Joe Perry and songwriter Desmond Child. The song talks about a man who is mistaken for a woman. According to Desmond Child, Steven Tyler came up with the idea after mistaking Mötley Crüe singer Vince Neil for a woman with long blonde hair. Tyler's bandmates made fun of him, joking about how the "dude looked like a lady". In his book The Heroin Diaries, Mötley Crüe's Nikki Sixx concurs that the song was inspired by Neil. Despite the song's mainstream success, "Dude (Looks Like a Lady)" has been accused of being transphobic, with "its lyrics and music video’s offensive insinuations about trans women." In 2012, Desmond Child said, "I talked Aerosmith into the whole scenario of a guy that walks into a strip joint and falls in love with the stripper on stage, goes backstage and finds out it's a guy." In 2019, Child confirmed that the song was about a man who "just walks into a bar and sees this gorgeous blonde up on the stage and then goes backstage after the show and then she 'whips out a gun, tries to blow me away.'" Vox's Abbey White pointed out that "the song also plays on the idea that trans women intentionally deceive men or are 'in disguise', that they are unattractive or repulsive ... and at one point mixes pronouns, going from 'Oh she like it' in one line to 'Oh, he was a lady,' in the next." Child has refuted all allegations of transphobia, describing the song as "accepting" because of the lyric, "Never judge a book by its cover, or who you're going to love by your lover." On August 27, 2013, Fox News played this song while introducing Chelsea Manning. As well as the network's use of masculine pronouns and Manning's deadname, playing this song received backlash from commentators. After Caitlyn Jenner called "Dude (Looks Like a Lady)" her "theme song" in 2017, backlash ensued from fans and from LGBT activists due to the perceived transphobia. The video for "Dude (Looks Like a Lady)" features the band performing live onstage as well as random moments of characters portraying drag queens, including a cameo appearance by A&R man John Kalodner dressed up in a wedding dress at one point. This is a joke based on the fact that Kalodner always dresses in white. Joe Perry's wife Billie also appears in the music video, pretending to play the saxophone on stage. There are also some provocative sexual performances, both led by singer Steven Tyler as well as a presumed female who has her skirt torn off to reveal the Aerosmith "wings" tattoo on her buttocks. The video was directed by Marty Callner. "Dude" picked up two MTV Video Music Award nominations in 1988 (the first for the band). It was nominated for Best Group Video and Best Stage Performance, but failed to gain the wins. The band made up for it eventually, winning over 10 "moon-men" and 4 Grammys in the 1990s.
Tracklist: 01.Ava Cherry - Good Intentions (Two Left Shoes Mix) (7:39) 02.Ava Cherry - Good Intentions (Dub Mix) (6:46) 03.Ava Cherry - Majic Castle (3:30) "Good Intentions" is a 1987 single by American singer and model Ava Cherry. She collaborated with English musician David Bowie between 1972 and 1975; the two met in New York City when she was a nightclub waitress and Bowie was touring for The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. Afterwards, they began a period of personal and artistic collaboration that heavily influenced the Young Americans "blue-eyed soul" era. Following this, she struck out as a solo singer and backing artist for musicians such as Luther Vandross and Chaka Khan. "Good Intentions" was the first single taken from her third and most successful studio LP "Picture This" (1987). "Good Intentions" debuted on the Billboard Dance Chart on August 8, 1987 peaking at #16 after spending eight weeks on the survey.
Tracklist: 01.Geisha - Calling Your Name (New York Dance Mix) (6:47) 02.Geisha - Calling Your Name (Dub Mix) (4:10) "Calling Your Name" was the fifth single released by Australian pop rock band, Geisha released in July, 1987. The track was taken from the band's second studio album "Midnight To Dawn". "Calling Your Name", reached the Australian top 100, but never made it to the top 50 peaking at #57.
Tracklist: 01.George Michael - I Want Your Sex (Monogamy Mix) (13:13) 02.George Michael - Hard Day (4:53) "I Want Your Sex" is a song by the English singer and songwriter George Michael. Released as a single on 18 May 1987 (US) and 1 June 1987 (UK), it was the third hit from the soundtrack to Beverly Hills Cop II and the first single from Michael's debut solo album Faith. It peaked at number two in the U.S. and number three in the UK, and was a top five single in many other countries. The single was certified platinum by the RIAA for sales in excess of two million in the United States. It was also the recipient for Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Original Song. The song's radio airplay on the BBC was restricted to post-watershed hours due to concerns that it might promote promiscuity and could be counterproductive to contemporary campaigns about AIDS awareness. Although it was one of Michael's biggest hits, the singer ignored the song following its release; he never performed it after the Faith Tour and although the Rhythm Two version appears on Ladies & Gentlemen: The Best of George Michael, it does not appear on the 2006 retrospective Twenty Five; furthermore, the "Monogamy Mix" does not appear on the 2011 remastered release of Faith. In an interview with Mark Goodier, included in the large-format book released with the 2011 remaster, Michael said that he still likes the second "Rhythm" but not the first, and that he distanced himself from the song because its production sounded too much like Prince; indeed, "Rhythm 1", as well as a few other tracks on the Faith album (such as "Hard Day"), features Michael simulating female vocals by artificially pitching up and altering his own voice, much the same way as Prince was doing at the time with his pseudo-female alter ego Camille. In the interview, Michael admits that he was "deeply enamoured" with Prince, and adds that he thought it was very bad for him to be infatuated with a colleague of his. Rolling Stone editor David Fricke described this song as 'a new bump-and-grind original that sounds more like Prince's stark, sexy "Kiss" than anything in the Wham! catalog'. In 2016, after Michael's death, Andrew Unterberger of Billboard ranked the song number eight on his list of Michael's 15 greatest songs. The music video, directed by Andy Morahan, featured Michael and his then-girlfriend Kathy Jeung to emphasize that he was in a monogamous relationship; at one point, he is shown using lipstick to write the words "explore" and "monogamy" on her back, which is photographed and retouched at the end of the video to reveal the phrase "explore monogamy". A Spanish model was also used for naked scenes in a way that allowed the audience to assume they were the same woman; these shots are interspersed with intentionally blurred footage of George Michael dancing and singing the song. In a 2004 interview with Adam Mattera for UK magazine Attitude, Michael reflected: "It was totally real. Kathy was in love with me but she knew that I was in love with a guy at that point in time. I was still saying I was bisexual...She was the only female that I ever brought into my professional life. I put her in a video. Of course she looked like a beard. It was all such a mess, really. My own confusion and then on top of that what I was prepared to let the public think." The video generated controversy over its sexual themes. In 2002, MTV2's countdown of MTV's Most Controversial Videos Ever to Air on MTV included the video for "I Want Your Sex" at number 3. The original video cut appears on the Twenty Five compilation 2-DVD set.

The song has sold over 2 million digital copies as of August 2018. The music video for "The Way You Make Me Feel" was directed by Joe Pytka and was filmed in June 1987 at Skid Row, Los Angeles. It was choreographed by Jackson and Vincent Paterson. The short version of the video is six minutes and forty-four seconds long and the full version is nine minutes and thirty-three seconds long. The video begins with a group of men trying to pick up women, but failing. One of the men, Jackson, is told to go home and not to hang around with the other guys anymore. When Jackson walks home, an elderly man (played by Joe Seneca), who is sitting on the steps of his house, tells him to just be himself. Jackson notices a woman, played by model/dancer Tatiana Thumbtzen, walking down the streets alone. Shortly after, Jackson walks out of an alley and stands in front of Thumbtzen while she is walking down the street. However, she ignores him and keeps walking, which prompts the other guys to make fun of him. Jackson shouts at them, which gets the attention of everyone, including Thumbtzen. After walking up to her, Jackson begins singing "The Way You Make Me Feel" to her while also dancing. Uninterested, Thumbtzen walks away. He follows her, having been cheered on by his friends to pursue her. This leads to the man to continue to pursue the woman throughout the neighborhood. The video ends with the man eventually winning the woman over, and embracing her, while a fire hydrant sprays out water. The videoclip features an appearance by his sister La Toya as one of Thumbtzen's friends. The music video was released on October 31, 1987, and received one nomination at the 1988 MTV Video Music Awards Ceremony. The video, alongside Jackson's "Bad" video, was nominated for Best Choreography, but lost to Jackson's younger sister Janet's video "The Pleasure Principle". The music video was included on the video albums: Video Greatest Hits – HIStory (long version on DVD and short version on VHS), Number Ones (short version), Michael Jackson's Vision (long version) and the Target version DVD of Bad 25 (long version). The introduction of the full version of the video also samples the Roy Ayers 1985 song "Hot" (written by Binky Brice, Philip Hunter Field and James Mtume) from his You Might Be Surprised album.

The song humorously describes an encounter with the horror film villain Freddy Krueger and was considered for inclusion in the movie A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master, but the producers of the film decided against its inclusion. New Line Cinema, copyright holders of the A Nightmare on Elm Street film franchise, sued DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince's record label for copyright infringement, forcing the label to destroy a music video produced for the song (though a copy of the video did survive and is available online. Both sides eventually settled out of court, but as a result, vinyl pressings of the album He's the DJ, I'm the Rapper contain a disclaimer sticker that says, "[This song] is not part of the soundtrack...and is not authorized, licensed, or affiliated with the Nightmare on Elm Street films." The song samples Charles Bernstein's musical motif from A Nightmare on Elm Street. The original track as included on the original LP and cassette pressings of the album He's the DJ, I'm the Rapper ran 6:09. However, the entire album could not fit onto compact discs of the time, so for the CD release, many tracks were shortened; the single version "A Nightmare on My Street" was used in place of the original. This version is not simply an edit of the original album cut, as it included different lyrics in certain sections. The version included on DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince's Greatest Hits album is not the original single version. Although it is labeled "Single Edit" and runs the same length, it is simply an edited version of the original recording and does not include the different lyrics recorded for the single.

A second version of "Do They Know It's Christmas?" was recorded under the name of Band Aid II in 1989, overseen by the most successful British production team of the late 1980s, Stock Aitken Waterman. Geldof had telephoned Pete Waterman to ask him to produce a new version of the song to aid the ongoing situation in Ethiopia, and within 24 hours the recording session had been arranged at Stock Aitken Waterman's studios on London's South Bank. The recording took place over the weekend of 2 and 3 December, and featured several artists who had already been produced by SAW, including Kylie Minogue, Jason Donovan, Bananarama, Sonia, and Cliff Richard, as well as other artists who had big hits in 1989, such as Lisa Stansfield, Jimmy Somerville, Wet Wet Wet and Bros. Bananarama's Sara Dallin and Keren Woodward became the only artists to appear on both the 1984 and 1989 versions of the record. Siobhan Fahey, who had been part of Bananarama's line-up at the time the first recording of the song was released, had left the group in 1988. The lyrics were rearranged for a more traditional 'verse and chorus' structure, with the opening verse being split in two with a short repeat of the ending chorus being played at the end of both, followed by the "here's to you" section and a final lengthened version of the closing chorus (with commentary by Michael Buerk played over the outro in the music video). Released on 11 December 1989, the Band Aid II version spent three weeks at number one in the UK, becoming the Christmas number one single and the last number one single of the 1980s, and ended the year as the ninth biggest selling single of 1989.

He added, "It's about sexual manipulation, affection traded for power, and as with all those sort of power-gain relationships, there's always a sugar coating, so that's why the song is so sugary but the message so bizarre." Speaking on MuchMusic, Currie revealed some of the unused sequences of the video, "The video was funny. I wanted to be the angel of death in it, with a black guitar and wings, but I kept getting stuck up there and screaming to get down, so we had to lose some of those shots. And then they built this enormous 12 foot skirt, I wanted to have these men coming out from under my skirt, and they edited that down to make it a bit more acceptable. I wanted to be the original hell's angel, it didn't quite come off. I always get disappointed by our videos."

It was released on 25 August 1986 as the first single from their second album Liverpool. The song reached number 4 in the UK Singles Chart and number 1 in Germany and it was also a massive success in other countries. Having topped the charts around the world with Welcome to the Pleasuredome and its accompanying singles, Frankie Goes to Hollywood took off to Hilversum Wisseloord Studios to record the follow-up album, Liverpool. Taking on a rockier edge, "Rage Hard" was the first single culled from the album. In a 1986 interview, singer Holly Johnson was asked about the meaning of the song explaining, "Have you read the poem 'Do Not Go Gently Into That Good Night' by Dylan Thomas? It was kind of inspired by that. It's an incantation against death and lethargy, and it's supposed to encourage lots of creative idealism in the listener." Not only was it the first Frankie single to be featured on CD single, it was also the first single to not feature a cassette release—new rules limited the number of items that could count towards the official charts, following the earlier ZTT excesses. "Rage Hard" eventually hit number 4 in the UK Singles Chart and number 1 in Germany for two weeks, #5 in Switzerland, #7 in the Netherlands, #12 in Austria, #19 in Sweden and #32 in France.

The new 1988 remix received renewed airplay on several US contemporary hit stations, it did not re-chart on the Hot 100. The video for "Secret", directed by Andy Morahan, shows various vintage black & white film clips, including footage of the Beatles, interspersed with new black & white footage of Humphreys and a woman processed to look like old home movies; additionally there are colour scenes of Humphreys singing. The theme is that a woman deserts her current love interest (McCluskey) to return to the arms of her true love (Humphreys). McCluskey's character observes the two lovers together and, though despondent, gallantly accepts that his love interest should instead be with Humphreys' character, before walking into the distance along the shore. The clip was filmed at Walton-on-the-Naze, Essex. The New 1988 Remixes were only released in the U,S.

Tracklist: 01.John Cougar Mellencamp - R.O.C.K. In The U.S.A. (2:49) 02.John Cougar Mellencamp - Under The Boardwalk (3:52) "R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A.", subtitled "A Salute to 60's Rock", is a rock song written and performed by John Cougar Mellencamp. It was the third single from his 1985 album Scarecrow and a top-ten hit on both the Billboard Hot 100 and Top Rock Tracks charts, peaking at number 2 and number 6 respectively. In Australia, the single effectively became a double-A side when the B-side "Under the Boardwalk" received significant airplay and both tracks were listed together on the singles chart, reaching #18. According to Mellencamp biography Born in a Small Town, Mellencamp was initially reluctant to include "R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A." on Scarecrow, feeling the song was too light-hearted to include alongside the otherwise grim songs such as "Rain on the Scarecrow" and "Face of the Nation". Mellencamp told Timothy White in a 1986 article for the Illinois Entertainer of his decision to include "R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A." on Scarecrow: "It was one of those absolute last-split-second decisions. I was only including it on the cassette and CD copies of Scarecrow as a bonus party track, but my manager loved the energy of it and I thought, 'Yeah! What the hell!'" Mellencamp required his band to learn how to play about 100 songs from the 1960s before recording Scarecrow, and the song includes several direct musical references to 1960s songs, including The Troggs' "Wild Thing". The song was recorded at Belmont Mall in Belmont, Indiana. The recording was produced by Mellencamp (under the alias "Little Bastard") and Don Gehman, engineered by Gehman and Greg Edward; backing Mellencamp on the recording were Kenny Aronoff (drums), Toby Myers (bass), Mike Wanchic (guitars, background vocals), Larry Crane (guitars, flutophone), John Cascella (keyboards), and Sarah Flint (background vocals). Cash Box called it a "no-holds-barred rocker." Billboard said that it "evokes, without quite quoting, reference points from 'La Bamba' to '96 Tears.'" A music video for the single was released in 1986. The video was directed by Mellencamp and Faye Cummings, and it was filmed using a kinescope camera. It featured an African American-vocal group and a Caucasian-instrumental group with the two groups playing together at the end of the video.

The single was recorded at the Flyte Time studios Minneapolis under the production of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis while the Human League had been in residence from February until April 1986. In the UK it was promoted with a cheaply and badly filmed music video and it became the band's worst showing in the UK charts ever, only reaching number 72. The song was savaged by critics at the time and has now been largely disowned by the band since. In the United States the song reached number 44 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart on January 24, 1987 after spending eleven weeks on the survey.

It was subversively left wing beneath it's macho surface. Bands like Nitzer Ebb really tapped into this subgenre.

It reached #100 in the UK Single's Chart, and #14 on the US Billboard Dance chart. the single was co-produced by Post-punk record producer and DJ, Flood (Mark Ellis) known for his work with a-ha, Depeche Mode, Erasure, Nine Inch Nails, U2 and many other bands.

Its music video was directed by Baillie Walsh. British electronic dance and clubbing magazine Mixmag ranked "Generations of Love" number 100 in its "100 Greatest Dance Singles Of All Time" list in 1996, noting that "the gently rolling flamenco guitars and warm Mediterranean vocals saw dance floors turn to slush in its wake."

An uncensored 7-minute short movie named "Generations of Love" was also made by the band. It features Boy George, Talullah and Leigh Bowery. The film was shot in and around Soho, London, and was produced to promote the single. The short film gives an intriguing snapshot into London’s Soho nightlife during 1990 (still hungover from the late-1980s) by way of capturing the bustling local outdoor streets, and the inside of long-gone amusement arcades and porn cinemas. Talullah, in a wig, plays the role of a straight office-type punter, looking for a quick trick, who ends up pulling a transvestite hooker. They visit a Soho dark porn cinema, where business is dealt. Boy George appears in the film briefly in drag and as himself. The movie has a classic early Andy Warholesque feel to it.

Indian singer Asha Bhosle performs the female vocals on the song but is uncredited on the single release. "Bow Down Mister" was released on 11 February 1991 as the fourth single from the project's only studio album, The Martyr Mantras (1991). It reached number 27 on the UK Singles Chart and became a bigger hit in several mainland European countries, especially in Austria and Germany, where the song reached the top 10. Boy George wrote "Bow Down Mister" shortly after taking a trip to India. George was intrigued that the song was perceived as radical to the public, as this was not his intention; however, he went on to explain, "That is unless you consider a song that encourages love instead of hate as being radical. I am continually amazed at how, with all of the knowledge we have as humans, we continue to be so small-minded." The track was written as an ode to the Hare Krishna movement, a Hindu religious organisation whose members dedicate their thoughts and actions to the Hindu deity Krishna, and the song recites the Hare Krishna mantra several times during the bridge. Indian playback singer Asha Bhosle is featured as the female vocalist on the recording. During an interview, Bhosle stated that "Bow Down Mister" was the best song she had contributed to and that she continues to cherish it. On the UK Singles Chart, "Bow Down Mister" debuted at number 69 on 17 February 1991, taking a total of five weeks to peak at number 27 on 17 March 1991.

The song, which deals with the less glamorous side of celebrity, was inspired by silent film actress Louise Brooks and is named after the 1929 film Pandora's Box in which she starred. The single was a top-10 hit in the United Kingdom and throughout Europe. In the United States the song was a top-twenty dance hit reaching #11 on the Billboard Dance Chart. Andy McCluskey wrote "Pandora's Box" about the silent film actress Louise Brooks. He told the Edinburgh Evening News in 1991, "I've been fascinated by her for eight or nine years now. The more I learned the more fascinated I became. [She's] absolutely the sort of woman you'd fall in love with on first sight and absolutely the sort of person that you desperately shouldn't go anywhere near. The music video for "Pandora's Box" is in black and white and features Louise Brooks and singer Andy McCluskey. According to the video intro, all of the scenes of Brooks in the video are from the original 1929 film.
Tracklist: 01.Pet Shop Boys - Jealousy (Extended Mix) (7:56) 02.Pet Shop Boys - Losing My Mind (Disco Mix) (6:08) "Jealousy" is a song originally written in 1982 by English synth-pop duo Pet Shop Boys, recorded for their fourth studio album, Behaviour (1990). It was released on 27 May 1991 as the album's fourth and final single. The song reached #12 on the UK singles chart. Neil Tennant states that "Jealousy" is the first proper song ever composed by the duo. Chris Lowe composed the melody at the piano in his parents' home and, as he felt it should be a ballad, asked Tennant to write an intense-sounding lyric. Tennant complied by writing a lyric about the simplest form of jealousy: infidelity suspicions aroused by someone's indifferent or disrespectful attitudes towards another person's feelings (such as making his/her partner wait all night for a phone call which never comes). The song was then left off three albums because the duo were waiting for legendary film composer Ennio Morricone to agree to score the orchestral arrangement for the song. Morricone's answer never came, and Harold Faltermeyer ended up doing the arrangement for the song's release on Behaviour. The album version, coming at the end of Behaviour, closed off the album with a sampler-based orchestral outro. The single version is slightly remixed, and uses a real orchestra instead during the outro. The extended version of the single version lengthens the outro while adding an orchestral intro as well; in addition, Neil Tennant recites a quote from William Shakespeare's Othello (Act III, Scene III) over both sequences: Not poppy, nor mandragora,
Nor all the drowsy syrups of the world,
Shall ever medicine thee to that sweet sleep

(4:09) "Where the Streets Have No Name (I Can't Take My Eyes Off You)" is a song by English synth-pop duo Pet Shop Boys. The song is a medley of U2's "Where the Streets Have No Name" and "Can't Take My Eyes Off You", a 1967 song by Frankie Valli, though in an arrangement informed by the 1982 disco version of the song by the Boys Town Gang rather than the original. The song accompanied "How Can You Expect to Be Taken Seriously?", the third single from their fourth studio album, Behaviour (1990), as a double A-side in the United Kingdom (both singles were released separately in the United States). Released in March 1991 by Parlophone, the song became the duo's 15th consecutive top-20 entry in the UK, peaking at number four on the UK Singles Chart. The single's other A-side, "How Can You Expect to Be Taken Seriously?", criticises the insincere humanitarian messages of a number of pop stars during the 1980s and the institutionalization of rock and roll. The band noted that "one song is about rock stars so to have a U2 song with it serves as a further comment." Also of note the version of "How Can You Expect to Be Taken Seriously?" is actually the "7" Perfect Attitude Mix" but not the same version that appeared on the U.S. CD Single this version is also used for the music video containing the "Gotta Have Fun" samples this mix only appears on the UK 7" single, and the video. The mix title does not appear on the sleeve or record label.

According to Albarn, the city had "really tacky Essex nightclubs" and a rampant sexual scene among visitors, with "All these blokes and all these girls meeting at the watering hole and then just copulating. There's no morality involved, I'm not saying it should or shouldn't happen." The music has a convergence of various pop and dance styles, summed up by bassist Alex James as "Disco drums, nasty guitars and Duran Duran bass." Drummer Dave Rowntree admitted that he is not playing on the track, being replaced by a drum machine he programmed. He said it was his favourite song on Blur: The Best Of (2000) because he "isn't really in it. It's cool not being in your own song." The vocals were recorded with a demo featuring only the keyboards. This song is written in the key of G minor. Pet Shop Boys, provided a remix of the track for the single release. The accompanying music video for "Girls & Boys" was directed by English singer, songwriter, musician and music video director Kevin Godley.
