Crazy Peoples Right to Speak was released in 1985 and was the third and final album by new wave/pop rock band Kajagoogoo. For this release, the band had shortened its name to Kaja, a name the band used earlier for the U.S. release of their second album, Islands. By this time, the band was a three-piece as drummer Jez Strode had quit in 1984.

The album was not a commercial success, and the only single from the album, "Shouldn't Do That", made it to number 63 in the UK.

Following the album, the band split up in 1986. However, after the band was featured on the VH1 program Bands Reunited in 2004 (recorded in 2003), renewed interest in Kajagoogoo prompted EMI to re-issue Crazy Peoples Right to Speak in the same year 2004. Four bonus tracks were added to the original ten tracks: 2 remixes of the one single taken from the album, the minor hit "Shouldn't Do That", and its 2 then previously unreleased B-sides.
