Tom Tom Club ORIG US LP Close to the bone EX '83 Sire 1-23916 Talking Heads


Original US LP released in 1983 on Sire Records. Cat: 1-23916.

"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."

 Tracks : Pleasure of love/ On the line again/ This is a foxy world/ Bamboo town/ The man with the 4-way hips/ Measure up/ Never took a penny/ Atsababy! (Life is great).
