10,000 Maniacs’ next album, 1989’s Blind Man’s Zoo , hit No. 13 and went gold, further increasing the group’s following. In May 1989, the British music magazine NME reported that 10,000 Maniacs had won the songwriter category prize at the New York Music Awards. In 1990, with the help of Lombardo, they remastered their first two records, Human Conflict Number Five and Secrets of the I Ching , and released them as a compilation titled Hope Chest: The Fredonia Recordings 1982–1983 . Lombardo and Mary Ramsey , who had formed a folk-rock act named John & Mary , opened gigs for the Maniacs on the Hope Chest Tour in 1990.
