Test Pressing [Level 2]
Hi All....Was just looking throught some old cassettes,and found one with some classic Hi-NRG tracks on it.
There was just one track on there which i just couldn't remember anything about.
The track is LINDA - FIRE.It is the 'SAN FRANCISCO' mix from 1987.
I know absolutely nothing about it,so i was wondering if any of the experets on here could shed some light on this brilliand track.
I've looked on youtube and i found the song but with no additional information.

"Fire" by Linda is a great NRG track. Not sure though if I can contribute much. What info do you need? I have the record and if I remember correctly it was released on "onthespot records," but I am not 100% sure. I would have to dig it out.Originally Written by john davis

Could iot possibly be LINDA IMPERIAL ??
Indie Release [Level 4]
Yes, the Linda referred to here is Linda Imperial. The record came out at the very end (like the last week) of 1986. I think it probably got lost in the holiday shuffle, because it's a good song and should have been a bigger hit with more exposure than it got.
Here's a link on GEMM - Linda Vinyl Records for Sale - Fire LP
It's around 135bpm, pretty classic hi-nrg.

I'll have to look for that one. I met Linda Imperial about ten years ago and she was really charming and wonderful in person.

Linda - great singer ! I believe she has her own website and still performs on the club circuit.

She dies indeed. lindaimperial.com Incidentally she's married to David Freiberg of Quicksilver Messenger Service and Jefferson Airplane/Starship fame.

'Stranger' by Linda imperial is another great hi nrg track.
Indie Release [Level 4]
She did some great stuff in the 90s too. I especially liked the version of Oleta Adams "Get Here" that Linda released on Megatone.
