The legendary Pleasure of Love reissue imprint New Islands returns with a meticulously restored edition of the highly sought-after "Oh Boy" by Venus II. Originally produced in 1987 by Paul Robb of Information Society, this rare gem emerged from the Minneapolis scene as an otherworldly girl group with a distinctive sound that continues to captivate Balearic DJs and collectors.

Venus II was a mysterious duo who wrote, programmed, and performed everything live both in the studio and on stage, creating a unique blend of new wave, house, and Balearic influences.
