Does anyone here know/care about the first album from Huang Chung (Wang Chung) from 1982?

I played this LP last night and my jaw seriously dropped to the floor. I'd be the last to guess they'd be that good.

I don't think I've ever heard anything else than "Dance Hall Days" and "Everybody Have Fun Tonight". Both are, well, OK, but not any more than that.

ummm... "HUANG" Chung???

Well I hate Everybody Have Fun Tonight, and although Dance Hall Days was nice for like two weeks in whatever early 80's year that was, I wouldn't write home about it either.

But this first album of theirs is another issue entirely:

To Mr. Snrub, as evident on the link provided by Bimble, they were initially called Huang Chung (which is more correct from a Chinese language point of view)

My fave Wang Chung moment is Frasier Crane reciting the lyrics to "Everybody Have Fun Tonight" on "Cheers," but then, I haven't heard that debut album either.

The To Live and Die in LA soundtrack is awesome!
