{"product_id":"pre-order-klaus-nomi-simple-man-lp","title":"Pre-Order: Klaus Nomi - Simple Man [LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003eVinyl LP pressing. 1982 album by German countertenor Klaus Nomi. • Mind bending mix of art rock, new wave, and disco. Contains the singles \"\"Simple Man,\"\" \"\"Ding Dong,\"\" \"\"Just One Look,\"\" and \"\"Icurok.\"\" Long out-of-print in the U.S. Bavarian born Klaus Sperber emigrated to New York City in 1972, and soon became a staple in the East Village art scene, adopting the new last name of Nomi (fashioned after the popular science magazine Omni). After working on a production with Kristian Hoffman, whose band Mumps were playing Max's Kansas City and CBGB, the two began working together-with Hoffman writing originals and picking cover versions of popular songs that would showcase Nomi's multi-octave vocal range. Nomi's second album, Simple Man, appeared in 1982 featuring Hoffman's title track and covers of Doris Troy's \"\"Just One Look\"\" and \"\"Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead\"\" from The Wizard Of Oz-plus songs from renaissance composers John Dowland and Henry Purcell. It would sadly be Nomi's last album of original material before his AIDS-related death in 1983.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrom Beyond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAfter the Fall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJust One Look\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFalling in Love Again\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIcurok\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRubberband Lazer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWayward Sisters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDing Dong\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree Wishes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimple Man\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeath\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReturn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 810075116458\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Omnivore Recordings\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.28.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"ShopTime Music \u0026 Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49982232887538,"sku":"267490571","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/7018\/9810\/files\/4527178-3651334.jpg?v=1787680863","url":"https:\/\/discandvinyl.com\/products\/pre-order-klaus-nomi-simple-man-lp","provider":"DiscandVinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
