Weird Pop

VINYL FORMAT. As is the case with many popular bands that had relatively brief and productive careers, Tones on Tail's oeuvre has been collected many times in many forms. This 19-track double LP features all of Tones On Tail's crucial tracks including most of thePop album, the best songs from Tones on Tail EP, and the singles "Go!," "Twist," plus "Christian Says." It lacks only a trio of songs from Pop and some miscellaneous odds and ends. Night Music was a welcome release at in 1987, marking Tones on Tail's first appearance on CD. It has since been superseded by the almost aptly named Everything! compilation. This new compilation brings back the classic vinyl sound and includes previously undiscovered rarities like the original (and better) version of "Performance," a never before released studio version of "Heartbreak Hotel", the single edit of "Go!," plus an extended version of "Twist". Weird Pop serves as a concise summary of Tones On Tail's career, effectively showcasing both their skewed pop and their darker, more experimental material.
