  • Description

    RE-PRESS: CD ORIGINALLY RELEASED IN 2015 .



    • Robinsongs & Cherry Red are excited to announce the re-presse of Cameo’s “Ugly Ego” and “Secret Omen” albums as a two on one.



    • “Ugly Ego” was originally released in 1978 and “Secret Omen” in 1979. “Secret Omen” featured the Top 3 R&B single ‘I Just Want To Be’ and the Top 10 R&B hit ‘Sparkle’. The “Ugly Ego” album featured the Funk Anthem ‘Insane’.



    • “Secret Omen” was certified Gold in America and was the Bands first, but many Gold & Platinum albums followed. Cameo formed in 1974 under the name of New York City Players, but changed the name to Cameo to avoid a lawsuit from the Ohio Players. Originally there were thirteen members to the group, but over time the numbers dwindled down to the three main men Tomi Jenkins, Nathan Leftenant & creator and front man Larry Blackmon (and that cod piece)



    • Cameo’s style was very much in the Funk mould, and the Group were as highly regarded as Parliament, Funkadelic, Bar-Kays, Ohio Players, Earth, Wind & Fire, Slave, The Isley Brothers, Rick James etc.



    • This re-issue features liner notes from Mojo’s Lois Wilson.
