Goon Squad "Eight Arms To Hold You"

Postby Fred Taghon » Tue Aug 04, 2015 10:31 am

Anyone remember the song "Eight Arms To Hold You" by Goon Squad from "The Goonies" soundtrack (1985)?

Goon Squad was an Arthur Baker production featuring Robbie Kilgore (who played all the instruments on Shannon's "Let The Music Play") and some legendary session vocalists.

I just noticed that you can now buy the album version AND 12" Vocal Remix in lossless FLAC format here!:

Thought there may be some fans of the song on here and wanted to share, as I've only had my own vinyl transfer to listen to up to finding this......

This isn't directly related, but wasn't "Eight Arms To Hold You" at one time
the working title of the Beatles Hard Day's Night film/LP and also
was an earlier version of the song Eight Days A Week? Curious

Was just listening to it the other day in as part of a mixed set from 1985. Hadn't heard it in years then this post showed up.

Goon Squad .... actually Mr. Arthur Henry Baker & Mrs. Tina R. Baker (not sure if they are sill married).
