• Bobs, The-The Bobs- LP- stereo-Kaleidoscope F-18 - 1983 33 1/3 RPM LP release. 1st LP by San Francisco acappella group, the Bobs. Music was, in a sense, New Wave acappella, with lots of originals by the groups' songwriting team, Gunnar "Bob" Madsen and Richard "Bob" Greene. Lead-off track, "Art For Art's Sake" was so catchy that it grabbed some airplay despite it being an acappella track. The Bobs' cover version of Helter Skelter won a grammy for the group. Complete Tracklist: 1 Art for Art's Sake 2 Prisoner of Funk 3 I Hate the Beach Boys 4 Bus Plunge 5 Cowboy Lips 6 Helter Skelter 7 Through the Wall 8 Be My Yoko 9 Lazy Susan 10 Trash 11 The Deprogrammer Cover is Near Mint-no stains, tears, splits, or writing.
