[Rockvoxxx]

I forgot this song existed, I was all about "dont say that just for white boys" and City for lovers" GENIUS! Thanks for posting!

A friend made me a cassete of these guys around 1990 which was long ago eaten :-( Have been looking for their stuff for years! Thanks for posting!

Wish I could find their stuff on CD. Any Suggestions?

I toured with WotW in 1982 as their sound engineer. There was a successful European tour with some strange shows (like the castle in Ibiza where the local sound company forgot to put speakers in the PA boxes) and a US trip - someone mentioned the stunning 9:30 club show - that turned into a Spinal Tap experience with gigs cancelled and ending in San Francisco airport, broke with a bucket ticket home. A great band let down in the end by crap management. See You Shake did it for me.

What is "Rockamerica?"

[Jhensy2001]

GREAT, underrated (and unknown) cut! One of those I just happened to tape off a college station at random, and loved for years. Can't believe I'm actually seeing this for the first time, 28 years later!

Des années que je cherche ce titre!

enfin, c'est pas trop tôt, malheureusement, je ne trouve rien en CD... Tant pis, il reste cette vidéo inespéré

I saw then in the eighty in The Hague in disco Toys late in the 02.30 evening they play briljant. In the eighty they have few briljant 12 inch music.

[krotix]

thanks for posting. I have some stuff from wotw but never saw them live. I am jealous of

buksrick829!! I was more into punk,hardcore, and post punk..but these guys were sharper than alot of their peers in the new romantic/dance scene

[lolzordz666]

Got this and "White Boys" on 12@. This isn't as good as "White Boys" but quite nifty nevertheless. Again anyone know who was in the band and what happened to em?

[lazysusan103]

check out "City For Lovers" 12"- hot!

[JasonBNYC]

This is totally awesome! I love Way of the West. Where did you find this? Definitely the best 1980s band of that genre. Thanks!

[leveryone]

i was 8 years old when i first heard their music in 1981.

they rock!

many thanks

[dean2890]

Thanks for posting this! I remember thinking this song was "The Shit!" back then...saw them live at the 9:30 Club in DC and remember dancing my ass off--thanks for the happy memories!
