Stan Ridgway, the singer of Wall of Voodoo, sounds like he is talking more than singing. And I guess I didn’t listen carefully enough because I don’t know what he’s talking about. Maybe it’s interesting. “Mexican Radio” sounds interesting, whatever it’s about. The flipside “Call of The West” just sounds quirky, which is not interesting, to me, today.

Wall of Voodoo -- Far Side of Crazy

  • Artist: Wall of Voodoo
  • Title: Far Side of Crazy
  • Year: 1985
  • Format: Vinyl 12 in.
  • Rating (1-10): 6
  • Owner: Mary
  • Acquired: 1985 – Promo Mary got when working at Plan 9 Records in Richmond, VA.
  • Keeper: Yes

This is just a 12″ promo. Both sides have the exact same LP version of “Far Side of Crazy” and nothing else. This is the only Wall of Voodoo recording we have, I think. I like this song better than the bigger hit, “Mexican Radio.” Mary says keep it. I say no reasonable offer refused. Keep that on the DL.
