MJ BLOOD ON THE DANCEFLOOR CD SINGLES


"She got your number
She know your game
She put you under
It's so insane
Since you seduced her
How does it feel
To know that woman
Is out to kill
Every night stance is like takin' a chance
It's not about love and romance
And now you're gonna get it
Every hot man is out takin' a chance
It's not about love and romance
And now you do regret it
To escape the world I've got to enjoy that simple dance
And it seemed that everything was on my side
(Blood on my side)
She seemed sincere like it was love and true romance
And now she's out to get me
And I just can't take it
Just can't break it
Susie got your number
And Susie ain't your friend
Look who took you under
With seven inches in
Blood is on the dance floor
Blood is on the knife
Susie's got your number
And Susie says its right..."

THE RECORD OF THE WEEK &
TODAY'S WELCOME TO THE SHOWROOM:
DIRTY DIANA
IRELAND 7'' SINGLE
EPIC 651546 7
DIRTY DIANA IRELAND 7''


I showed you some months ago some irish pressings from the THRILLER era, very similar to the UK releases - with exaclty the same picture sleeve, but with some visible differences on labels. Well, it's the same story for several "BAD" era releases, and here you can see one, just arrived in the Showroom:"Dirty Diana". This 7'' comes with the UK regular sleeve, same catalogue number but as you can see the labels are completely different. These irish presses are very hard to find nowadays, even more because they're hidden in a common UK picture sleeve. I suggest you to check all the UK 7'' you have in hand to reveal if you own an UK release or an irish one, and always do the same in record fairs! You might find a treasure and pay for it very few dimes!!!

Today's ON THE AIR:
"WHATEVER HAPPENS"
(feat.Carlos Santana)
A TASTE OF INVINCIBLE
USA PROMO SAMPLER CD
EPIC/SONY ESK 56696
MICHAEL JACKSON PROMO CD


"He gives a nervous smile,
tries to understand her side
To show that he cares
She's consumed
with everything that's been goin' on
She says
Whatever happens, don't let go of my hand
Everything will be alright,
he assures her
But she doesn't hear a word that he says
Preoccupied, she's afraid
Afraid that what they're doing is not right
He doesn't know what to say,
so he prays
Whatever, whatever, whatever
Whatever happens, don't let go of my hand
Whatever happens, don't let go of my hand..."
MICHAEL JACKSON PROMO CD

THE RECORD OF THE WEEK &
TODAY'S WELCOME TO THE SHOWROOM:
BEN MEXICO 7''
"Donde Escalofrio termina, BEN la rata asesina comienza"
TAMLA MOTOWN 7230


It's time for new items coming in the Showroom, and this goes straightly to the "record of the week" post of this page. It's a promotional copy of the BEN 7'' released in Mexico, with an unique "blue coloured rat sleeve" artwork gatefold jacket, and a white label record inside. I thought this was a kind of promotional copy, because of its label and its back, with a special advert to the movie "Ben" and the "Multicinemas" logo, but it's not; I guess it's just a rare commercial copy, one of a few released with picture sleeves in Mexico at the time. B-side of the record contains "You can cry on my shoulder", another track taken from the Michael Jackson's 1972 album "Ben".

THE RECORD OF THE WEEK:
TOUR SOUVENIR PACK
4 X PICTURE CD SINGLE SET
EUROPE EPIC/SONY MJ1-4 01-658281-14
 

 

Wow...how many memories in this post...this is the FIRST boxset I've ever owned. My grandfather purchased this for me when I was 15, and I remember this "Tour souvenir pack" was truly a treasure in my hands...I loved the picture cds inside, and I still love the wonderful artwork sleeve. I have to say it; this won't be the rarest item in my collection, but certainly, it has 1000 lovely meanings I'll never forget, and in my heart remains one of the most important items I have.
Every collectors has at least one "HIStorycal" item. ...And certainly each one of you is thinkin' about that old record you still carry in your heart...a gift from your mother, or the first record you owned when you were just a young guy...or your first purchase in a record shop...every collector have one or some "specials" items in his mind...as the "Tour souvenir pack" is for me, and the Showroom.

"...I took my baby on a river boat cruise
And she was well aware
I was excited about the way things could have been
Cause in it I don't care
I want a face no one can recognize, in disguise
Someone called out my name
They thought of taking pictures,
autographs, then they grab
My joy has turned to pain
Father always told me
You won't live a quiet life
If you're reaching for fortune and fame
I feel the pressure setting in, I'm living just to win
I'm down in my pain, don't you feel it?
It's the price of fame, you pay the price of fame
So don't be feelin' no pain!
It's the price of fame, it's the price of fame
So don't you ever complain!
I'm on, the cover of the magazine, what a scene
They know my every do's
"Just sign your name on the dotted line, you'll be fine" ?
That always bothers me
Get in your car, you wanna take a ride, look behind
Someone is following you
You try to get away you turn real fast, but too bad
They know your every move!..."
