The group emerged from the surrealistic musical theatre troupe The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo. Reducing from a 15-piece troupe to an 8-piece band, Oingo Boingo was formed in 1979. With a style that initially mixed Punk, Ska, Rock and New Wave, Oingo Boingo stood out from the traditional guitar\/bass\/drums by incorporating a 3-piece brass section to accompany their quirky, frantic rhythms. Originally released by A\u0026amp;M records in 1981, the debut album Only A Lad fit alongside similar contemporaries of the day, including Devo and Suburban Lawns, with the high energy, herky-jerky and complex arrangements. The video for the opening track Little Girls was played on MTV and other video shows of the day. The album also includes a radical reworking of The Kinks' hit You Really Got Me. The wacky Nasty Habits displays a rhythm that would become an Elfman trademark, crossing over into his debut film score for the 1985 comedy Pee Wee's Big Adventure.​ Only A lad is reissued on green and white vinyl in a limited edition of 500 copies.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"56 - All Media Supply","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56736285163893,"sku":"616985643066","price":4.35,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8300\/2485\/files\/4070880-2801659.jpg?v=1770959545","url":"https:\/\/warmvibevinyls.com\/products\/oingo-boingo-only-a-lad-green-white-vinyl-ltd-to-500","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
