Now look , theres music and theres music, and this is music. Know what I mean. No,... neither do I. Buy it, no collection would be complete without it

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.

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!

THE MOST MENTAL BUNCH OF SONGS EVER COMPILED. FANTASTIC COLLECTION OF MAD ROCKABILLY AND GARAGE WITH AN UNDERLYING BENT SENSE OF HUMOUR. THERE MUST BE THE ROOTS OF A THOUSAND BANDS AMONGST THE TRACKS ON THIS RECORD. A MUST HAVE.

I bought this CD several years ago, and it has lived in my CD player all this time. This CD is a collection of original songs that were later covered by The Cramps. If you are a fan of them, then this CD is a must have.

Even if you're not familiar with The Cramps, this CD is worth the price just for the song by Hazil Adkins alone.

All-in-All a very excellent CD.

Hassle free purchase of some very rare "frat rock". A huge influence to mucians that followed. Fun stuff.
