WORLD OF WONDER
RECORDS
Independent label: World of Wonder is an international media production company
based in Hollywood and London. Founded in 1991 by Randy Barbato and Fenton
Bailey, the company creates reality and documentary television programs, feature
films, and Internet video content. It issued singles in an TS-000 numerical
series. Randy Barbato and Fenton Bailey met in the graduate film program at NYU,
in the mid-'80s. Intent on becoming famous, they formed a disco-pop-rock duo
called The Fabulous Pop Tarts and began performing regularly at Danceteria and
other clubs in downtown New York City. They produced two albums, Age of the
Thing which included their hit single, “New York City Beat”, and Gagging on the
Lovely Extravaganza, which included guest appearances by Lady Miss Kier, RuPaul,
Martyn Phillips, and Filthy the Dog. World of Wonder was organized initially in
order to manage the Fabulous Pop Tarts, and to enable projects in television
production and licensing, documentary film-making, and in helping to build the
careers of their friends and fellow artists, particularly RuPaul. Distributed
By FFRR Records.
