The Escape Club – Wild Wild West
Wild Wild West is available from the Mr. Hansen Records collection with VG+ vinyl and a VG+ sleeve. This well-preserved copy offers an enjoyable listening experience, with only light signs of previous use. Released on WEA with catalogue number 255 630-1.
Released in 1988, Wild Wild West captures The Escape Club at the height of their international breakthrough. The album is best known for its title track Wild, Wild West, a bold and catchy late-1980s hit that blended pop rock, dance rhythms, spoken-word attitude and big radio production into one unmistakable package.
The Escape Club stood out in the late-80s landscape by combining rock-band energy with polished pop hooks and dancefloor-friendly grooves. The sound is very much of its time: punchy drums, bright guitars, strong choruses and a confident production style aimed at both radio and club audiences.
Beyond the hit single, the album offers a colourful mix of pop rock, new wave influence and commercial 1980s production. Tracks such as Shake For The Sheik, Walking Through Walls, The Longest Day and Working For The Fatman show the band’s playful, rhythmic and slightly eccentric approach to mainstream rock and pop.
For collectors, Wild Wild West is a strong late-1980s title with clear nostalgia appeal. It is especially interesting for fans of radio-friendly pop rock, new wave-influenced rock and big-production 80s albums with personality and attitude.
Recommended for listeners who enjoy INXS, The Power Station, Duran Duran, Simple Minds, Big Audio Dynamiteand energetic late-1980s pop rock.
