Tom Tom Club – Tom Tom Club – Splatter Color Vinyl Record

Description

The Talking Heads gave us some fantastic side projects and spinoffslike David Byrne & Brian Enos My Life in the Bush of Ghosts and Jerry Harrisons The Red and the Blackbut none can match the pure funkiness, danceability, and sheer joy of Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouths Tom Tom Club! Originally created as a playful break from the ambitious artistic vibe of the Heads Remain in Light album, the duos self-titled 1981 debut was recorded in beautiful Barbados, featuring Weymouths sisters along with Adrian Belew and Steven Stanley from the Remain in Light band. It not only produced hit singles like Genius of Love and Wordy Rappinghood but also left a lasting impact on music. This was the vibrant sound of downtown New York engaging with and celebrating the rising hip hop movement. It’s a mix that resonated with numerous artists in the 80s and 90s, from Madonna to Mariah Carey to the Beastie Boys and many more. Weymouth and Frantz continued to create more albums under the Tom Tom Club name, but this debut remains a classic. Real Gone Music is thrilled to present Tom Tom Club in a gorgeous Clear with Pink, White & Green Splatter Vinyl edition that beautifully pays homage to its Barbados roots and complements the albums colorful cover. It’s all about fun, pure and natural fun! Only 1200 copies made.
