A mate of mine leant me this on vinyl about 15 years ago, then I lost my copy a few years back, but I dreamt about it last night, and am *so* happy it's available on CD. There are two genuinely astonishing tunes on this collection - a completely mental "Papa-oom-mow-mow" shambles from the Trashmen, but best of all the way-beyond-mental-and-past-even-totally-deranged Legendary Stardust Cowboy who just shrieks...over his own...guitar playing. Magnificent, frankly. Worth it for those two tracks alone - the rest is OK psychobilly.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Album Changed My Life!, August 7, 2000

This review is from: Rockabilly Psychosis and the Garage Disease (Audio CD)

This is quite simply the Greatest compilation album ever loosly slapped together with some masking tape and thumbtacks. Forget music trends! This is the REAL RAW sound of some of the wildest rock n' roll tunes ever scraped up off the recording studio floor. The primordial unhinged oozing and throbbing of a complete cerebral meltdown. Michael Bolton wouldn't have a clue!
