Between Two Fires

Paul Young's edition of Columbia/Legacy's budget-priced SUPER HITS compilation series is an inexpensive summation of Young's '80s tenure with the label. The selection focuses on his classic blue-eyed-soul singles, "Come Back and Stay," "Everytime You Go Away," and "Bite the Hand That Feeds." Also featured are several superlative covers, among them Marvin Gaye's "Wherever I Lay My Hat," The Chi-Lites' "Oh Girl," Ann Peebles' "I'm Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down," and Young's unusual rearrangement of Joy Division's classic "Love Will Tear Us Apart."

PAUL YOUNG is one of Britain's most respected vocalists, and a bona fide eighties pop star who enjoyed international success with singles such as Every Time You Go Away , Wherever I Lay My Hat (That's My Home) and Come Back and Stay . Renowned as a skilful interpreter of other people's work ( Love Of The Common People ), he is also a successful songwriter in his own right, penning hits such as Everything Must Change and Tomb Of Memories (with keyboardist/arranger Ian Kewley). Eight tracks appear on CD for the very first time, including cassette- only long versions, the epic nine-minute live cut of No Parlez album track Oh Women , and I'm Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down , as remixed for the U.S. by John 'Tokes' Potoker. The superb Extended Remix of US #1 Every Time You Go Away also gets its CD debut (outside of Japan). With over 150 minutes of hits, hard-to-find tracks, and extended mixes, REMIXES & RARITIES will appeal to collectors and casual fans alike.

What is meditation? For thousands of years, human beings have practiced refined techniques of mental focusing, designed to change the habitual conditioning of the mind. Central to many spiritual and philosophical traditions and known in English as "meditation," these practices are considered a major means for enhanced awareness and self-mastery.
