  • West a Fool Away is an album by the Swedish rock 'n roll singer Eddie Meduza. It was released in 1984. The album mixed serious English rock songs with funny songs in Swedish. Side 1 had mainly English songs and side 2 was entirely Swedish except for the title track. The title refers to nonsense English sounding lyrics that early Swedish musicians made use of when they forgot the real lyrics. Two versions of the album exist: the original "Stoppad" (Recalled) edition, which was only released on vinyl and cassette and the "Laglig" (Legal) edition, which got a CD release in 2002. The album caused a minor controversy when track 12 of the Stoppad edition, "Heil Hitler", was played on a radio station. The track was intended to be an anti-war and anti-Nazi song, but its title could be misconstrued as endorsement of Nazism. As a result, CBS was ordered to have the album recalled and all unsold stock was pulled off Swedish shelves. The offending track was replaced with "Leader of the Rockers", a cover version of a track from Eddie's 1979 album "Eddie Meduza and the Roarin' Cadillacs". In 2002, shortly after Eddie's death, his entire discography was released on CD. The CD version of West a Fool Away was based on the Laglig version and included three bonus tracks. (en)
  • West a Fool Away är ett album med Eddie Meduza som släpptes 1984. På albumet blandas konventionella rocklåtar med roliga låtar på svenska. Sketcher och mellansnack av Börje Lundin och hans bror Sven Lundin förekommer också. Bert Karlsson förlöjligas i flera av dessa, eftersom Eddie då var mitt uppe i ett bråk med Karlsson, som han kände sig lurad och sviken av. Eddie skrev också flera mindre smickrande låtar om Bert Karlsson efter bråket, och de låtarna gavs ut på kassett. Eddie hade tidigare legat på Bert Karlssons skivbolag Mariann, men lämnade det efter nyss omnämnda bråk. Det finns två versioner av albumet. Efter bara några veckor drogs hela första pressningen in på grund av låten "Heil Hitler", som var menad som en antikrigs- och antinazistisk låt men som misstolkades. Efter protester från Gabriel Romanus, ordförande i Svenska kommittén mot antisemitism beslutade CBS att stoppa utgivningen samt exkludera låten på vidare utgivningar. (sv)
