Pretty Poison: Nighttime (1984)

1980s two-hit-wonder dance act Pretty Poison had a bona fide smash with Catch Me (I'm Falling) in 1987. However, while Nighttime was originally released to little fanfare in 1984, it was met with a much warmer reception four years later and became the group's second significant hit.

Here is the 12" extended version.



And the band was also wise to the virtues of targeting the latin market. Here is the simultaneously released Spanish recording.

Pretty Poison: Catch Me (I'm Falling) (1987)

Pretty Poison, hailing from Philadelphia, was a classic 80s two-hit wonder. Fronted by Jade Starling, their calling card was the 1987 smash hit, "Catch Me (I'm Falling)," a song that went to #1 on the Billboard Dance charts in 1987.



The song was also featured on the soundtrack for the movie "Hiding Out" which starred Jon "Don't Call Me Duckie" Cryer.



Here we have quite a good extended version of the song.



The song has enjoyed good longevity in terms of samples and remixes and is a dance favorite at any retro night.



Here is the Spanish Ultimix...



To this day, Jade Starling is still active in the techno scene. Feel free to visit JADE STARLING'S MYSPACE.
