I go to this 80's dance club called hully gully in downey, CA and the DJ saturday from 9-11pm loves berlin; he played this yesterday (pleasure victim version) it sounded SO freakin amazing on the loud speakers.....
i was djaying at a party once in 2000 and came across the pleasure victim album by accident. but boy am i GLAD I DID. fell in love with Berlin immediately.
Excellent song, whichever version you listen to. The album version was the perfect opener, and the whole Pleasure Victim EP is really exquisitely sequenced. Makes me miss the analog age, when all albums were split into two sides, because "The Masquerade" opened Side Two as nicely as this song opened Side One. Thanks for posting this great rare track!
What an interesting version of this song. I love the raw energy. Still kicking myself for missing them play the Coppa in Toronto back in November 1986.
Update: the show in Nashville was awesome. Rick Olsen made a guest appearance , because it’s his hometown. AND! During “take my breath away” she held my hand during the last 20-30 seconds of the song! She Took a bow, and let go. It was amazing!! I felt like a million bucks. Hoping to see them in Atlanta early August. :-)
Certainly a little stripped down from Pleasure Victim album, a little more like it would sound live. Love Berlin, one of my all time favorites. Pleasure Victim and Love Life a great one two eighties punch.
Another song i remebered singing again surprised to thear it again i was so Young , i guess they found some old tracks, a.k.a lead singer julie barb wire dolls.
Theres so many great songs that never really got full relies like b sides ex a remastered Pleasure Victim with all these B sides and different versions would be amazing!!!! I just wish to god they just did one more album but hey went back to the electro sound, after Count Three, would of been a better ending to an amazing band then what there doing now.
excelente! o melhor dos berlin..... banda q na decada oitenta acabou precisamente 86/87, com o take my breath away ..enfim. aniway na minha opiniao das melhores bandas new wave/electro pop!
This is the version that I had and caused me to fall in love with Berlin. However, your volume / gain is set SO HIGH that the sound clips all the way through. Could you please burn it again at a lower volume / gain?
Not true. I've heard her sing live not too long ago. She's not Streisand but for a new wave artist she's very good. Its definitely her on all the records. The background vocals may not be, however.
Them and Missing Persons,the best New Wave bands from the 80's!!!!
OMG those two bands were my all time fans during the 80 it was all about Terrie and Dale.
Absolutely ... :-)

Pleasure Victim is one of the most brilliant albums of the '80s

They are incredible
Rare is right--I had no idea this existed, but it sure sounds classic. Berlin is one reason I'm so nostalgic for the 80's. Thanks for sharing!
The most underrated band in west-coast history! Love that although it's new wave, it's not a faux euro put-on-it retains it's LA thing!

Wow ! I lived and breathed Berlin when they were around and never heard this, outsanding rendition of this song.
draconisdracon this was the original singer before Terri Nunn joined
@@AidanofLindisfarne that is terri tho
Thank you whoever posted this!!!
I, too, did not know this existed. Much rawer than the album version (which I've always loved). Thanks for posting!
Happy Christmas and New Year 2024 . 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤
I just love the 80's, it's so revolutionary and new wave.

I much prefer this version to the one on the EP. I love it! :D Thanks for uploading this!
Happy Christmas and New Year 2024 . 🎉🎉🎉🎉
OMG! I LOVE this version! Thx for posting it!!!!!
Thanks for uploading this. This version is way better than the other one. It's more powerful and New Wave/Punk like the original Berlin lineup/sound.
seen them met them love them
I've never heard this version before. The original MAO Men version! WOW!!
Fantastic ! Thank you! Hopefully going to see them April 13th 2018, in Nashville.

Thanks for this! I like this version plus the one we all know from Pleasure Victim. They are both amazing.

Terri posted on her facebook page that the *New* Berlin album will be out in September & it's titled 'Animal'
Love it..
I love rhis!
July 14th, Phoenix, AZ! !
OMFG!
This version is utterly AMAZING!
What version si this one?
It's completley electric !!!!!
TheNouveauxdecadence original vocalist before Terri Nunn
@@AidanofLindisfarne isn't this terri nunn singing ??
FUTURISTIK1000 this is Terri Nunn
AidanofLindisfarne Virginia Macolino was only on the information album and 2 singles from that LP
wow this is hot
I've always loved Terri.
Thanks!
I like good song good New Wave 80 S .
Good fuckin song. Cheers for upload.
Un clasico!
@Jarren202 Yes, she is beautiful indeed. I think she also has
a great voice as well!
I love the album one but i kinds like this one better.
Yes! So this IS the 45rpm single bside version?
Synth and electric drums (Roland) in ya face! .-)
Better than the original
can u post those unreleased songs ...cry for me etc
This is the version that I had and caused me to fall in love with Berlin. However, your volume / gain is set SO HIGH that the sound clips all the way through. Could you please burn it again at a lower volume / gain?
its missin that chord progession, and most all the other effects, this is like a layer of the final product recording. its kool. Berlin for good.
Do you have the original 45 version of The Metro you can upload?
It is uploaded......
@mazzarge Totally agree and that's usually the way it goes, dammit. :(
Nice
I had this song years ago " good grief.......why are comment edited? i didnt post anything bad!"
judas priest this rules!
Terri Nunn reminds me so much of Shirley Manson, the lead singer of Garbage. Guess Shiny Toy Guns and Yeah Yeah Yeahs owe a whole lotta shit to Terri.
Very different than the album version
she looks great in the photo at the start... i cant believe she was only rated no168 in the worlds best female singers! but that was on a shite site!
love it -terry marry me
It sounds more like the first album stuff than anything off "Pleasure Victim".
As cool as this is, the studio version is much better, especially at he end.
This is still the better version
4:10 Terri looks like Debbie Harry
Berlins song called sex
Princess Leia, she could have been.
She also almost "shot J.R."!
Terri Nunn was not the original singer, its no secret. Although she is awful in concert.
Not true. I've heard her sing live not too long ago. She's not Streisand but for a new wave artist she's very good. Its definitely her on all the records. The background vocals may not be, however.
She's is one of the best performers on earth!! I don't know what ya on about !!??
