Peter Wolf - Lights Out - Japanese Vintage Vinyl
Lights Out is Peter Wolf's 1984 solo debut, his first record after leaving the J. Geils Band. He co-produced it with electro-funk pioneer Michael Jonzun, trading bar-band rock for a sleek, dance-ready mix of R&B grooves, synths and big drums.
The title track reached number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became a club favorite, with "I Need You Tonight" as the follow-up single. Wolf's love of vintage soul and blues runs all through the album, from the playful "Oo-Ee-Diddley-Bop!" to a moody reading of "Gloomy Sunday", while "Mars Needs Women" and "Billy Bigtime" show his offbeat sense of humor.
This is the Japanese edition on EMI America, catalogue EYS-81661, made by Toshiba EMI. Japanese pressings from the mid-eighties are prized for their quiet vinyl, ideal for the punchy bass and crisp production here.
A great find for fans of the J. Geils Band and eighties rock with a funky edge.

Unopened returns accepted within 30 days — you cover shipping.
If your record arrives damaged or folded (thanks, postal service), reach out ASAP so we can fix it.
After 30 days, it’s yours to keep forever.
Avoid extreme heat or sunlight. Definitely don’t let it mingle with any Justin Bieber records. Treat it like your grandma — gentle, respectful, and quiet during Murder, She Wrote.
