Karen Finley – Tales Of Taboo (Holland 12″)

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1986

NEW 2021 Transfer!
NEW Meticulous Restoration!

Originally posted June 30. 2015

EXPLICIT LYRICS

“Tales Of Taboo” is a 1986 12″ single by American performance artist, musician, and poet Karen Finley. Produced by Madonna collaborator Mark Kamins the track is a ranting provocative monologue over an electronic dance beat. “Tales Of Taboo” was prominently sampled by S’Express on the classic dance floor cut-up, “Theme from S-Express” (her vocal – sampled from “Tales of Taboo” – exclaimed, “Drop that ghettoblaster!”). She was notably one of the NEA Four, four performance artists whose grants from the National Endowment for the Arts were vetoed in 1990 by John Frohnmayer after the process was condemned by Senator Jesse Helms under “decency” issues. In 1991, Finley would often perform her songs late at night at New York City’s Danceteria nightclub, where she worked.

Duran Duran – Notorious (US 12″)

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1986

“Notorious” is the fourteenth single by the English new wave band Duran Duran. It was released internationally by EMI on 20 October 1986. “Notorious” was the first single issued from Duran Duran’s fourth album Notorious (1986), and the first released by Duran Duran as a 3-piece band after the departure of Roger Taylor and Andy Taylor. It was a commercial success worldwide, reaching number seven on the UK Singles Chart and number two on the US Billboard Hot 100, and was a success in various other countries.

“Notorious” marked the debut of the new streamlined trio version of Duran Duran, as Andy Taylor and Roger Taylor had left the band by the time the album was released. In fact, the acrimonious nature of Andy Taylor’s departure was reflected in the song to a certain degree. According to songwriter Simon Le Bon, the lyric “Who really gives a damn for a flaky bandit” was a direct dig at the guitarist.

As a trio, the band had enlisted the help of Nile Rodgers to take over production duties. His funk influences can be heard throughout the single – for example, the tempo and the use of The Borneo Horns brass section. Rodgers also played the guitar on the single.

For the first time, the B-side to the 7″ single was not an original recording; “Winter Marches On” was an unaltered version of the Notorious album track. Before this, Duran Duran had always provided either completely original songs or previously unheard remixes on the B-side.

As a first for the band, “Notorious” was released as two separate 12″ singles. The first had a Nile Rodgers produced “Extended Mix” while the second featured a remix by The Latin Rascals.
