Oingo Boingo has finally called it quits, and to usher out their long career in style, A & M Records—the label for which Boingo mercurial leader Danny Elfman and his band of wacky musical cohorts recorded three groundbreaking albums in the early Eighties—will release Farewell.

The double-CD/cassette album was recorded live during the band's final concert at the Universal Amphitheatre in Universal City last year. Since Boingo's Halloween concerts at the UA have always been legendary, it's only fitting that this final album was recorded live on Halloween night, 1995.

Produced by Boingo members Danny Elfman, Steve Bartek (also Elfman's partner in soundtrack crime) and John Avila, the album contains such early OB classics as "Only A Lad" and the 1985 hit "Dead Man's Party," as well as more recent songs such as "Can't See (Useless)" and "Insanity."

"There was a sense of closure after the last concert, but in truth, things were far from over," muses Elfman. "We had hours of audio and video tape to sift through. Even though it's been a lot of work, we're glad we did it. We wanted to leave some kind of legacy behind for our fans."
