This is my favorite Oingo Boingo song! In fact it was used in Stranger Things 2nd Season! Also the movie "That was then this is Now" from (I think 1985). I heard this song when new when I lived in SoCal in 1985 and got hooked ever since. Powerful Song. This version sounds great, I wish this were the version released on the radio. I met Danny and the Band in 1990, in Baltimore, just after he finished the Batman score. Ill remember it forever!
This is the song, due to which I began to listen to Oingo Boingo. And I didn't expect that there is a much better version of "Just another day". Does anybody know, why this demo sounds better than the album version?
It’s not a demo this is the album recording but a working mix, sometimes subtle changes in the mix can make all the difference. It’s interesting how a lot of albums around that time the full bass and kick drum was often really thin in the final mix, probably because too much low end wasnt suitable for vinyl. Rough mixes often have better bass as a result which is great. The overall mix is more raw here. Also has more of Bartek’s guitar which had some moments edited out in the final
@@OingoBoingoTapes Yeah what he said haha. I'm looking at the album right now, and it was mixed by David Leonard. I wonder if he did this mix or maybe Danny or someone else had more input.
