Oingo Boingo Tapes
United States
Приєднався 29 січ 2018
NON OFFICIAL channel for all Oingo Boingo's amazing hidden treasures, some of the band's best work!
Oingo Boingo were a blazing live band, a big part of their music scene in the early 80s but never fitting into any one box. Their huge repertoire meant many great songs came and went quickly. Countless songs were demo'd, some recorded but cut from release, others quickly disappeared from live sets.
I've carefully cleaned up the tracks as best they can for good listening, although sound quality varies because of the sources. This is as good as the bootlegs can sound until the master tapes get released.
It would be fantastic for these recordings to be properly mastered & released some day. It's confirmed that the studio session tapes exist, but the band's demo tapes unsure.

Remember My Name (Rebalance) – Oingo Boingo | Boi-Ngo Unreleased 1987
This long sought after track from the 1986 Boi-Ngo sessions remains unreleased.
Recently a high quality master transfer was leaked by Rubellan Remasters. It's sourced from a tape labelled "Alternate Masters" along with several other unreleased Boi-Ngo tracks plus an earlier mix of Not My Slave, which could imply this was not the intended release mix (if there ever was one).
It sounded slightly unfinished in this mix so I have attempted to rebalance by AI separating stems and giving it a careful remix. So it's not perfect and no ability to separate guitars from horns etc, but a little step towards how it may have sounded had it been released on the album.
I also tried with its sister unreleased track Inside (also leaked), but the results weren't as much an improvement.
This will probably be my last upload for a long time so I wanted to give a parting gift!

Marching In Time - The Mystic Knights of The Oingo Boingo
Переглядів 22 тис.Рік тому
Marching In Time - In 1979 Danny wrote a new set of freaking good songs for The Mystic Knights. By now the group had evolved from cabaret stage shows to a legitimate band, but not for long until they reformed as Oingo Boingo later in 1979. Most of the Mystic Knights songs disappeared but some were luckily recorded in these sessions. Now cleaned up from a higher quality source. And again to fix ...
Make It Right - The Mystic Knights of The Oingo Boingo
Переглядів 8 тис.Рік тому
Make It Right - An amazing intricate smashing together of rock and African highlife with peak Danny singing 'bout life. You say this gem wasn't ever released and only got performed live for a few months? Someone make it right. Now cleaned up from a higher quality source.
Ain't This The Life - The Mystic Knights of The Oingo Boingo 1979
Переглядів 10 тис.Рік тому
Believe it baby, Ain't This The Life started out in a totally wild different arrangement as performed by the Mystic Knights! This debuted live in early 1979, but by end of that year the band had already reformed and the song was rewritten as the familiar version. Now cleaned up from a higher quality source.
Nuclear Babies - The Mystic Knights of The Oingo Boingo 1979
Переглядів 12 тис.Рік тому
Nuclear Babies - Classic late late Mystic Knights song. The group were just on the cusp of reforming as Oingo Boingo so most these new songs were soon abandoned, but some were recorded in these demo sessions. Now cleaned up from a higher quality source.
Goodbye Goodbye - The Mystic Knights of The Oingo Boingo c.1979
Переглядів 21 тис.Рік тому
The original Mystic Knights version of Goodbye Goodbye. This was one of the few Mystic Knights songs that slipped through the fifth dimension into Oingo Boingo. Definitely the most performed Mystic Knights song, probably because Danny loved saying here'saticketonewayCincinnatiI'msendinyouhometoyourmaandyourdaddysodon'ttrytocallmeyou'llonlybewastinyourtime. Recorded by the Mystic Knights between...
Louise - The Mystic Knights of The Oingo Boingo c.1979
Переглядів 30 тис.Рік тому
Since the 1981 recording for this early song has rocketed in popularity, here's the rare 1979 original version when the band was still The Mystic Knights. Oingo Boingo started out in the 70s as a street theatre troupe, the Mystic Knights of The Oingo Boingo, although this was not a musical band at that time (just "wailers" as Danny put it). In the late 70s Danny took over and it evolved into mo...
Hold Me Back - Oingo Boingo | Rare Unreleased 1983
Переглядів 34 тис.2 роки тому
Hold Me Back (Now in improved quality) - Another insanely good unreleased Boingo song, recorded for the cult spoof movie Surf II. It really rocks with that magic early Boingo sound twisted with a Beach Boys parody for the movie. Great bassline and it ends with some real guitar fireworks from Steve Bartek! Not the clearest source but the best I can get it, and finally it doesn't sound like the s...
Something Isn't Right (Alt Mix) - Oingo Boingo | Rare 1984
Переглядів 17 тис.2 роки тому
This is cool, a rarely heard unreleased mix of Something Isn't Right. I'm told this was broadcast on KROQ Radio and luckily taped by a fan (thank you!). The first few seconds were missed so I used the released version. The song was released on the soundtrack for the movie Bachelor Party.
Gratitude (OBT Restored Mix) - Danny Elfman / Oingo Boingo
Переглядів 9 тис.2 роки тому
A custom mix of Gratitude restoring the missing verse and a few other parts removed from the final mix, as heard in the earlier 'Beverly Hills Cop' mix (and pressed on the initial album vinyl release). I've always wished for the song with the final mix sound but the cut verse restored. It’s not perfect but with some new tools to isolate the vocals I've produced this. I've also given it a bit mo...
Weird Science (2022 OBT Custom Mix) - Oingo Boingo
Переглядів 14 тис.2 роки тому
Weird Science unofficially remixed from the multitrack recording. The vocals, guitars etc were premixed stems, so I didnt have total blank slate, but wanted to retain more of the rock sound in the band’s playing than the 1985 mix. Even revealing a lost bass solo! Something a bit different for this channel and hope you enjoy.

Find You - Oingo Boingo | Boi-Ngo Unreleased 1987
Переглядів 23 тис.2 роки тому
Find You (Reuploaded with improved sound) - An emotive song that takes the pop sound of the record somewhere different. Danny's voice is beautiful here. This was the first song to be dropped from the album and has only surfaced in an early set of rough mixes. The first few seconds were cut off on the source so I had to composite with a lower quality one at the start.
Cinderella Undercover - Oingo Boingo | Boi-Ngo Unreleased 1987
Переглядів 10 тис.2 роки тому
Cinderella Undercover (Reuploaded with improved sound) - Rough mix of Cinderella as recorded for Boi-Ngo but cut from the album. A popular live song first played in 1981 and returned to shows from around Boi-Ngo. More laid back here than the punky-new wave sound from early performances, but a great song. A wilder demo was also recorded in 1981 here: ua-cam.com/video/1D1kyBzJqYE/v-deo.html
Inside - Oingo Boingo | Boi-Ngo Unreleased 1987
Переглядів 17 тис.2 роки тому
Reuploaded with improved sound. Still the same source as previously so still a bit rough/flat sounding, but now slightly better mastered. Inside - Another essential unreleased song recorded for Boi-Ngo that sadly went unreleased. Like most the cut songs from Boi-Ngo, it's a little more introspective. The running order on the source tape (not bootlegged by me) suggests Inside was originally inte...

Teenage Monster (Live) - Oingo Boingo | The Whisky (Urgh!) August 1980
I don't know if you're going to see this, but was there a demo for Home Again? because I have a file named Home Again (Demo), which I downloaded from Soulseek, but it sounds really fake, and it comes with 4 versions of tell me where my friends go? I can send them to you if you want.
Are you sure they fell out. The two still worked together after the film.
i love u fawfulydoo
The way he says "ass" in this version is iconic
Damn, wished I'd been around to see this show live instead of just being a twinkle in my dad's eye.
out of all the unrelease boingo songs, i think this specific version might be one of the best honestly. the original version is already fantastic, but theres something so addicting and unique about this specific take of it. its got that upbeat yet slightly threatening vibe that i feel is so essential to oingo, not to mention already standing out in their library for having the slower tempo. it also has those distinct key shifts ob loved to play around with. its insane to me how danny didnt release this one. you can hear the people in the crowd going ballistic for it. you can even somehow sense a bit of danny’s theatrical taste in here, its a very grandiose arrangement. as a side note but still something worth mentioning, i think this recording might be in a slightly lower pitch than what it actually sounded like? the two other recordings from this forum event, nothing to fear and why’d we come, are both in slightly lower pitches than their final version. which is strange considering how other pre-ntf live recordings from this time period are all in their correct pitch, such as insects and private life. i pitched up the nothing to fear recording from this event to match its final, and pitched this one up the same amount. it somehow sounds even better, if you ask me. just something i thought was worth mentioning, i know this channel is kinda dead lol.

I think this actually sounds better. There's more going on with the harmony in the chorus in this one.
Boingo Tapes my beloved
Rev says desu's theme song is a banger
True… 😭😭 He used to be an ok guy back then, but he just fell off and made most of his content about “le ebil woke Twitter people” (in which it’s usually 2 or 3 people saying mean things about him/disagreeing with him) and borderline l0lic0n stuff. 😔
🪑
I love this one so much it gets in my head all the time! Once again thank you to Oingo Boingo Tapes for truly being a saint by preserving and sharing these gems
this song is the chipi chipi chipi chipi chipi chapa chapa chapa chapa of the 80s
Many thanks for sharing both the songs and the background info.

i can't hear this without thinking of a certain gotham mobster who looks like a penguin
This always makes me think of the Enchantment Under the Sea dance in Back to the Future
i know exactly what you mean
How did you clean up the audio
how do you get these?
Greatest ska song ever.
1:51-1:57 is so good <3
the only problem this song has is that it is too short
Yee, but it's short and sweet
Somehow conveys a feeling of mounting jeopardy. Brilliant.
ГОСПОДИ БОЖЕ МОЙ эта песня словно была создана для моего сердца и мозга, это именно то, что должно звучать у меня в голове постоянно! эта песня будет точно на фоне всех моих самых лучших воспоминаний, боже мой! было бы у меня время, я бы написала три книги по 1000 страниц об этой песне и группе оинго боинго, это настолько хорошо, что вызывает у меня все эмоции подряд одновременно, я плачу😭😭😭😭
Эльфман гений
I NEED this on spotify 😭😭
how do you find these song?
Jesus dude
I heard “lay down and spread your…” and I went 👀
shame apple music doesn't carry the song WTF.
Honestly the part they added later to the chorus really makes this song more magical. If they released it like this it wouldn’t be as great as it is.
to me this is the prequel (or sequel) of wild sex in the working class
She was bored of being daddys girl and joined a terrorist group for the thrill of it. LOL and then ran back crying
Oooooof thank you :)
such a good fucking song, really captures a ton of strong emotions
Absolutely dig this song. A shame it didn't make the cut.

I will not drink to open eyes. In fact, I will do the opposite.
My dad liked this song ^_^
:D
My favorite version of this song. I still can't believe how Danny made this such a strangely nostalgic, catchy, and overall fun song to listen to despite the lyrics.
