Tom Tom Club ORIG OZ ST LP NM ’81 WEA 600108 Talking Heads Newwave dance rock
Original OZ LP released in 1981 on WEA Records. Cat: 600108."Who needs to think when your feet just go?" So sings Tina Weymouth on Tom Tom Club's debut album. And rightly so this was the sunny break in the islands that the rhythm section of Talking Heads wanted, and they got it, away from the art-school intellectualism that had resulted in the classic but understandably very unsunny Remain in Light. This album, a collection of funky, sprightly little tunes recorded in Barbados with Weymouth's sisters, husband, and drummer Chris Frantz, and several of the members of the Remain in Light tour group: Adrian Belew, guitar, and Steven Stanley, percussion. Ironically, hoping to toss off a fun album under the radar, the group came out with an album, the best tracks of which, "Genius of Love" and "Wordy Rappinghood," became enormously influential throughout the '80s and '90s, eventually getting ripped off wholeheartedly for Mariah Carey's "Daydream."
