Vinyl plays nicely (play-graded). 12" Single. Cover looks great; a few creases near edges; light-scuffing, tiny surface abrasions near top-center, slight discoloration with a couple darker discoloration spots, and surface impressions (front/back). Inner-sleeve is original (blue); tear near center on one side. Spine is easy-to-read with mild-wear. Minor shelf-wear along top/bottom-edge; some wear to corners. Opening is crisp with signs of light use and divots. (Not a cut-out.)
Tell Me Why, by Expose, was included on Expose's second album, What You Don't Know. Lead vocals on Tell Me Why were sung by Gioia Bruno. Released as the third single from What You Don't Know, Tell Me Why continued a successful streak for the group on the Billboard Hot 100 chart when it peaked at No. 9 in early 1990. It was Expose's seventh consecutive top ten hit on the Hot 100, dating back to Come Go with Me in April 1987. Remixes of the song were popular in U.S. dance clubs, allowing it to reach No. 3 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart, the group's fifth top ten single on this survey. The music video shows the members of Expose singing, interspersed with scenes implying urban gang violence, supporting an ultimate message of appealing to stop these sorts of activities. The video concludes with images of children playing and singing together on a playground.
