ICEHOUSE – 12 Inch Versions & Remixes Vol.1 [2CD]

I don’t know you, but I always had a soft spot for Aussie rock & pop masters ICEHOUSE led by the ever-present Iva Davies. They have produced awesome dance-floor hits as well, creating terrific remixes among the best of the ’80s.
The double just released CD “ICEHOUSE – 12 Inch Versions & Remixes Vol.1” is the first volume of a series of compilations including many hard to find singles plus exclusive and otherwise unavailable on CD mixes.

Between these greats cuts we have the extended versions of US hits ‘Crazy’ (#14) and ‘Electric Blue’ (#7), both 1988, the rare US and 12-inch versions of the hit ‘Hey Little Girl’ (UK #17, 1983), plus extended club mix and 12-inch versions of ‘No Promises’, one of my favorite Icehouse tunes ever.

Also included is the ‘Down Under’ remix of ‘Great Southern Land’ re-entitled ‘Byrralku Dhangudha’, featuring Australian aborigines singing the chorus in their own language, taken from the 1993 EP ‘Spin One’, a hard-to-find highlight here on this set.

A guilty pleasure, but seems I am not the only one because this really good double-CD was requested by one of you.
