Hello all,

Yesterday I downloaded a video by Duran Duran called Burning the Ground.
It is a 4 minute mix of all their 80's hits. I wonder if this is an offical video or made by a creative fan.
Who can tell me what it is? :)

The song is official and the single was released in 1989 to support the "Decade" best of CD. The 12" Single featured one mix of "Burning the Ground" plus two versions of another megamix called "Decadance". There is an official video which is a montage of past DD videos. You can get the CD Single as part of "The Singles Box 1986-1995".

According to Durandurantimeline.com

This song/video was released in Dec. 1989

Duran Duran continues its five-month world tour for 'Big Thing' in the US, the Far East, and the UK, followed by summer festival dates in Europe. They release the greatest hits album 'Decade' and the single 'Burning The Ground', and begin work on the 'Liberty' album.

I remember seeing the video once a long time ago, but never saw it again and didn't at the time, really know what I was watching.

Thank you so much. I am very happy that it is an official clip. Another one to add to my collection. The song is not known overhere in Holland, I searched all the charts, but no mentioning of Burning the Ground.

So thanks again :thumb:
