80's Dance "Some Things You Don't Understand" Chicago Synth Pop EP
Extremely rare 12" vinyl synth-pop record from Chicago's own Oh Boy! Contains two mixes - 4:05 mix and a 6:25 club mix. This record is a piece of Chicago music history. Only a limited number of records were pressed. The quality and rarity cannot be overstated. Oh Boy! would play anywhere, anytime and for anyone. This found the Oh Boy!’s playing such gigs such as an art fest in a house in Evanston where each room had a different art form. The living room had paintings, the dining room had sculptures and the front bedroom had a live band - Oh Boy! Their continuous dues paying and good looks helped develop a following. They drew the attention of the Columbia College AEMMP Records Program (Arts, Entertainment, Media Mgmt. Program) a curriculum where students selected, recorded and then managed an artist. They were selected from hundreds of bands as the first artist on the AEMMP label. On the strength of the AEMMP 12” Oh Boy! had the pleasure of playing every major club in Chicago land including backing up major acts like Translator, Rank and File , Tommy Totune and the Elvis Brothers. They then headlined at the Park West several times themselves. The record received a great deal of airplay and was #1 on most college stations across the Chicago land area. They were also inducted into the B96 Hall of Fame for the best dance single - summer of 1985. In 1986 they were on the Grammy ballot as “Best New Band in the Midwest.”
