Wall of Voodoo EP [The Index Masters] (1980) - Wall of Voodoo

« Wall of Voodoo

The first time I heard Wall of Voodoo was in 1980 when the Weekend Wizard brought in this Wall of Voodoo EP to the radio station. I don't know why we didn't get a copy at WFDD because IRS was good at getting product to us. I quickly became hooked on "The Passenger" and "Ring of Fire." Then we got a 12" with a remix of "Ring of Fire" and "The Morricone Themes" (a mix of the themes from the Clint Eastwood movies "Hang 'm High and "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly").

That EP and 12" have now been combined into a single compilation with some other cool stuff called The Index Masters. In addition to the early stuff, there are live versions of "Tomorrow" (my favorite song from Call of the West), and some songs from Dark Continent including the amazing "Back in Flesh."
