No Mag Radio Commercial (Rare radio ad from the early 80′s) – The Bangles *Audio + Lyrics*

Bangles – No Mag Commercial. Short audio commercial recorded by the Bangles for LA underground zine called ‘No Mag’. Released on ‘The Radio Tokyo Tapes’, a compilation of early 1980s LA bands. The song is actually a variation of their song “Getting Out Of Hand” with different lyrics about ‘No Mag’ and was actually recorded when the Bangles were still known as the Bangs. It was at the release party for No Magazine’s issue, Vol. 2, No. 7, which featured an interview with The Bangs themselves, that the girls had re-written and performed the first verse and chorus of their tune “Getting Out Of Hand”, to coincide with the magazine. No-Mag co-founder Bruce Karlberg was so impressed that he had The Bangs record their new version and it was distributed on LA radio for what is now considered their infamous “No-Mag Radio Commercial”.

Each of his next five albums sold more than a million copies, and Vandross won his first Grammy Award in 1990, for best R&B male vocal performance. He went on to record many more hit albums, and won several more Grammys. Born in New York in 1951, Vandross began his career writing and performing jingles for television commercials.

In June, he came out of the coma, and a week later his final album, Dance With My Father, was released, debuting at number one on the pop charts. The album won four Grammys, including Song of the Year for the title song. Never having fully recovered from the stroke, and suffering from diabetes and high blood pressure, Vandross died in July 2005.
