"Over the Wall" came off Heaven Up Here, Echo & the Bunnymen's 1981 album, as a single, and it's post-punk with the lights turned low. Hugh Jones produced it, and the writing credit is shared four ways, between Ian McCulloch, Will Sergeant, Les Pattinson and Pete de Freitas. For the flip side the band reached back a year to the title track of their 1980 debut, Crocodiles.
