Reviews
Sounds incredible - like almost all of Scott's pressings - go to copy again! Not sure how he does it, but every reissue is punchy and has great soundstage.
My copy is translucent when held up to the light.
My LP has a gold stamp partially on the barcode that says " LOANED FOR PROMOTION ONLY, Not For Sale, Ownership And All Rights Reserved . 3 lines in a gold rectangle with rounded corners exactly as I typed it as far as large and small font goes.
Danny Elfman was a lot more interesting as front man for Oingo Boingo than he is in his latest incarnation as movie soundtrack writer. "Nothing To Fear (But Fear Itself)" features a killer horn hook...this song should have been a major hit. There's a refreshing glibness to "Whole Day Off" and "Nothing Bad Ever Happens To Me". "Private Life" is a paranoid self-reflection of one's life.
The group was very tight, and probably a bit too professional for your average punk rock fan. I don't like all of the material, but for its time, Oingo Boingo was doing some interesting things.
