Pat Benatar asked Mike Chapman to write her a hit song. He worked with his songwriting partner Holly Knight to come up with 'Love is a battlefield'. The song, which was included on Benatar's album 'Live from earth', was promoted with a powerful video, in which she played a teenage runaway. This video was on high rotation on television back in 1984.The song was a number one hit in the Netherlands. I soon found out that the 7" single featured a heavily edited version of the song, so I opted for the 12" single. It was one of the first 12" singles I ever bought - but rightfully so: the extended version is much better.
My collection: 12" single no. 3
Found: Wouters, Den Haag, 1984
Cost: 14,95 guilders
Tracks: 'Love is a battlefield (extended version)' / 'Hell is for children (live)', 'Love is a battlefield (instrumental)'
