Wall of Voodoo, Dark Continent, 1981 on I.R.S. Records

This was the debut album for Wall of Voodoo, before the big hit “Mexican Radio” which was on their follow-up Call of the West.

In addition to the immensely talented Stan Ridgway (credited here as “Stanard Ridgway”) the band here includes Bruce Moreland, Joe Nanini, Marc Moreland, and Chas Gray. A live version of “Back in Flesh” appears in Urgh! A Music War
