Bananarama – Help! / La Na Nee Nee Noo Noo – 45T Comic Relief (1989)

Vinyle 45 original rounds of Bananarama (1989), single charitable Comic Relief with "Help! »

Formed in London in the early 1980s, Bananarama is one of the most emblematic women's groups of British pop. Originally trio composed of Sara Dallin, Keren Woodward and Siobhan Fahey, the band has a brilliant success thanks to a clever mix of catchy pop, new wave influences and dance, and an immediately recognizable visual identity. Bananarama quickly established itself in international charts with titles that became cults like Shy Boy, Cruel Summer or Venus, becoming one of the most selling women's groups in history.

This 45 laps released in 1989 in a particular context: it has been published to the Charitable Association Comic Relief, a major UK initiative to combat poverty and exclusion. For the occasion, Bananarama takes over the legendary title of the Beatles "Help!", giving it a pop and contemporary rereading typical of the late 80s, while preserving the energy and emotional urgency of the original song.

Face B, « La Na Nee Nee Noo Noo », is a lighter and dancing title, faithful to the fun and immediate style of the group. This single perfectly represents Bananarama's transition period in the late 1980s, between pop heritage and more modern sounds, while at the same time testifying to artists' commitment to solidarity causes.

Pressed on the label London Records, this vinyl 45 turns is today a vintage collection object, appreciated by fans of Bananarama as well as fans of British pop and charitable records related to Comic Relief. It is a beautiful piece representative of the musical and social culture of the late 1980s.
