Dark Continent is Wall of Voodoo's first full length LP. It originally came out in 1981 on IRS Records. The song "Call Box (1-2-3)" also spawned a music video and Wall of Voodoo played "Back In Flesh" for the concert film Urgh! A Music War. The CD, which was released by A&M in 1992, is now out of print and extremely hard to find. It can be found on file sharing sites such as Limewire. Early live versions of four songs from 1979 ("Red Light", "Animal Day", "Back in Flesh" and "Call Box (1-2-3)") are featured on The Index Masters.
