Toto Coelo – Girls Night Out (Netherlands 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1985

“Girls Night Out” is the fourth single released by British new wave group Toto Coelo (renamed Total Coelo in the US). The single did not appear on any album and was released only as a single in Europe and Australia. “Girls Night Out” had previously been recorded in 1983 by New York City based group Ladies Choice on Streetwise Records. The single did not chart.

The “Dub” is exclusive to this Netherlands release. As far as I know none of the tracks on this 12″ have appeared on CD.

“I Eat Cannibals” was the debut single by British new wave group Toto Coelo (renamed Total Coelo in the US). The single reached No. 8 in the UK Singles Chart and was also a hit in many other countries, including South Africa where it was named the seventeenth biggest selling single of 1983, peaking at No. 3, while it only got as high as No. 66 in the U.S. in early 1983.

The solid drum sound that underpins the single was provided by session drummer Peter Boita. Boita received a demo cassette from producer Barry Blue and proceeded to score out a drum part that fitted the song. He programmed his Linndrum Computer with the basic drumbeat that is heard throughout the record. Boita also used this same technique on the B-side of the follow-up single, “Mucho Macho”, but, apart from a few television appearances, the single failed to make much impression on the charts.
