Bangles - Self Titled (1983) Vinyl LP EP Faulty Products Label
The Bangles are one of the preeminent girl bands in rock and roll history. They formed in Los Angeles in 1981. They scored several hit singles during the 1980s. The band's hits include "Walk Like an Egyptian", Billboard magazine's number-one single of 1987; two number-two hits, "Manic Monday" and "A Hazy Shade of Winter"; and their 1989 number-one single "Eternal Flame".
The Bangles have contributed to several compilations, as well as to many other artists' works: They provided the song "I Got Nothing" to the soundtrack album for the 1985 film The Goonies, and made a cameo appearance in Cyndi Lauper's music video for "Goonies 'R' Good Enough". Lauper later enlisted them for backup vocals in her 1986 hit song "Change of Heart". The Bangles sang backing vocals on the Hoodoo Gurus' "Good Times" from their album Blow Your Cool! in 1987. In 1988, while recording his album Full Moon Fever, Tom Petty and his lead guitarist Mike Campbell called on the group to provide backing vocals for the song "Waiting for Tonight". The song never made it to the album, but instead made the compilations Playback (1995) and Anthology: Through the Years (2000). They provided the song "Get the Girl" to Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, with the song appearing on the "More Music from the Motion Picture, Austin Powers, the Spy Who Shagged Me" soundtrack (1999). A cover version of "Eternal Flame" was a 2001 UK number-one hit for Atomic Kitten.
