DESCRIPTION:
Black Randy and Paul Rat Phone Call 1979

For his San Francisco debut, Black Randy wanted all the underpinnings for infamy in place. When it came to offense for offense's sake, Randy knew there was only one up-and-comer to provide the requisite foundation of filth: El Duce and his band the Mentors. In this first call, Randy calls Paul Bachavich (a/k/a "Paul Rat") who booked for Temple Beautiful. In the background, Joe Nanini (Wall of Voodoo) can be heard egging on the action. Randy's impassioned pleas for the Mentors and against Tuxedomoon and the Go-Go's are sinister punk comedy at its finest.
