U-Bahn X- Young Hearts of Europe 12” + 7”

Just snagged this killer 12” from a shop in Brooklyn, so figured I’d kick the week off with a fresh rip. This 1985 single seems to be this German band’s only release, and this particular 12” hails from 1985 and consists of two killer dance remixes and an exclusive track, also remixed. Think Clan of Xymox, early Ministry, and other big beat classics.  The original “Essential Mega Mix” was remixed in part by Pete Waterman, 1/3 of Stock Aitken Waterman, who were responsible for penning a series of club friendly tracks over the years.

I’ve uploaded both the 7” and 12” versions here, though both versions of “Kiss of Death” are the exact same, despite the alternate title.  I’ve also included an alternate mix from a rare 12” that was also compiled on the Tribute to Flexi-Pop series…

UPDATE- Rexx Arkana, NYC DJ and remixer extraordinaire, has created an extended remix of “Kiss of Death”- the flip side of these singles. I’m pleased to offer it here as an additional download:

    I loved this and played it to death. When I found out it was a Stock, Aitken and Waterman tune the snob in me took over and the romance was over. Good to hear it again though.

    Great blog, will link you in from my world.

    Thanks for this… I hadn’t heard it forever. You do such a great job finding obscure singles and music and hard to find stuff. I love it! Thanks for all the hard work you put in.

  8. Thanks for this. I’ve got the 7″ single, god knows where from. The whole concept is so 80s. It would be fun to know more about the band but I guess they’ve completely faded into obscurity by now.

  9. @Ricard: actually, there is some info on the band on the web site of former member Chris Garland:
