BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1986
“Samples!” was a second 12″ released for the song “Sample That!” by Chicago based project Bang Orchestra!. This 12″ also features new remixes by Ralphi Rosario.The single debuted on the US Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart on August 23, 1986 spending twelve weeks on the chart peaking at #5.
After the single’s release Geffen Records thought Bang`s sounds were too underground to release on an album, so the band ended up recording independent singles for Trax Records. Band founders Vince Lawrence and Evie formed the production company J.X. Bang and concentrated more on producing other artists, they quit making Bang Orchestra records in late 1987.
