TAPE CONDITION: EXCELLENT. MORE INFO: THIS TAPE IS CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT. THERE ARE NO LINER NOTES, FYI. ARTIST/ALBUM INFO: The Bongos are a power pop band from Hoboken, New Jersey, primarily active in the 1980s, led by Richard Barone. With their unique musical style, they were major progenitors of the Hoboken pop scene, college radio favorites, and made the leap to national recognition with the advent of MTV. Their breakthrough song "Numbers With Wings" garnered the group a major cult following and was nominated at the first MTV Video Music Award presentations. In 1983, the group was signed to RCA Records, which subsequently released the album, Numbers With Wings. New York Times' critic Robert Palmer — himself a former Hoboken-based musician with The Insect Trust — marked this as the beginning of the Bongos' creative decline, lamenting the "slick, overproduced records which vitiated the raw vitality the group had originally displayed."[6] Regardless, the album spawned a popular and inventive MTV video of the title song (nominated for 'Best Direction' on the 1984 MTV Video Music Awards, and the song itself remained at the number one spot on the College Music Journal (CMJ) chart for six consecutive weeks). The album also included the tribal, dance-floor hit "Barbarella." A hectic tour schedule of over 300 shows a year sustained support at radio and MTV. Their Brazilian-influenced follow-up album, Beat Hotel, along with relentless touring (now with a further-expanded lineup including percussionist Steve Scales from Talking Heads), raised the Bongos' profile further and continued to increase their devoted cult following. It was in the midst of recording the Phantom Train album in Compass Point, Bahamas for Island Records that the band split up in 1987, with each member pursuing solo interests. The album was to remain unfinished and unreleased until 2013. I DO COMBINE SHIPPING... INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS TAKE NOTE !!!
