Maxx Mann - Maxx Man LP SNIPS by darkentriesrecords published on 2020-03-03T19:08:56Z Maxx Mann were the gay New Wave duo of Frank Oldham Jr (vocals, lyrics) and Paul Hamman (music) from New York City formed in 1981. Frank studied voice and acting at the Herbert Bergdorf School idolizing Eartha Kitt, Nancy Wilson, Johnny Mathis and Shirley Bassey. Paul was playing piano for a cabaret singer at a bar in Greenwich Village where Frank met him and their friendship began. Paul and Frank worked together 3 to 4 times a week recording their debut self-titled album released in 1982, limited to 500 copies. Songs provide interesting insights into the homosexual experience before the AIDS crisis: cruising backroom bars, BDSM and one-night stands. The music is "Neo-realistic rock" heavily influenced by punk, titillating, synthesized body and soul with Frank’s dramatized vocal stylings. The original press release sent to radio stations stated, "Because this is a completely innovative sound, we hope you will give it several listenings. It is adventurous, daring, and certain to cause reactions from your listeners.” For this first time vinyl reissue we’ve added two bonus instrumental tracks, so the album now contains all four original vocal cuts and their corresponding instrumental versions. Paul sadly passed away in 1986 aged 33 from AIDS-related illness and we dedicate this reissue to him. All songs have been remastered by George Horn at Fantasy Studios. Each vinyl copy is housed in an exact replica of the 1982 jacket and includes a fold-post poster with photos, lyrics and notes by Frank Oldham Jr. Genre Electronic Comment by Ahmed Gamal El-Din sheesh 2020-11-16T11:36:17Z Comment by Symbol perfect album! 2020-05-21T20:35:01Z Comment by さいとうふみお 😘 2020-03-16T04:03:51Z Comment by MIkołaj Szkudlarek Awww 2020-03-12T00:50:50Z Comment by GXM 😎 2020-03-03T19:51:12Z Comment by darkentriesrecords Like A Killer (True Love Is Always True) (Instrumental) 2020-03-03T19:19:42Z Comment by darkentriesrecords Leather Man (Instrumental) 2020-03-03T19:19:34Z Comment by darkentriesrecords Bloody And Blue 2020-03-03T19:19:26Z Comment by CONTEMPORARY RECORDS 🖤 2020-03-03T19:19:25Z Comment by darkentriesrecords Our Love Won't Last The Night 2020-03-03T19:19:13Z Comment by darkentriesrecords Our Love Won't Last The Night (Instrumental) 2020-03-03T19:19:06Z Comment by darkentriesrecords Bloody And Blue (Instrumental) 2020-03-03T19:18:58Z Comment by darkentriesrecords Like A Killer (True Love Is Always True) 2020-03-03T19:18:49Z Comment by darkentriesrecords Leather Man 2020-03-03T19:18:42Z
