ESG - ESG (IMPORT LP)

ESG ESG on Import LP

When ESG’s debut EP hit the streets in 1981, no one suspected the profound impact these songs would have on the history of music, particularly “UFO” (which soon became one of the most sampled songs in the history of hip hop) and “Moody” (which was a huge hit on the downtown post-punk music scene).

After their label, 99 Records, folded in 1984, ESG maintained a low profile until making a comeback in 1991 with this self-titled LP. The album featured the two original smash hits from their 1981 debut, plus three cuts (“A New Day,” “Standing In Line” and “Crash”) from their obscure 1987 Bam Bam Jam EP, along with some previously unreleased material.
