Baltimora - Living In The Background (1985)

I love finding albums by 1-hit wonders & seeing how their other songs hold up. One of these bands, Baltimora, is a dance-heavy new wave outfit from Italy. They are known mainly for their song Tarzan Boy. It's the epitome of campy, mid-80's, pop radio. So how's the rest of the record? There are only 5 other tracks on this release. The title track, Living In The Background has a catchy chorus, & Woody Boogie, which was actually popular in Germany, has a ton of synths & beats that make for a great dance song. The other 3 songs are balladish 80's pop dribble.
