5.0 out of 5 stars Required Listening, March 1, 2004

By	Crypt "thecrypt777" (Arkham) - See all my reviews

...especially for clueless kids who think that "Garage Rock" is a new phenomenon and that the Strokes and the White Stripes are edgy. The Mummies started in the late 80's. Most people regarded them as a joke (which they were), with their bandage outfits, unspeakably worthless equipment, their rejection of cds and the heinous sound quality of their recordings. Not to mention their dumb lyrics and middle finger atittude. In other words, the Mummies became the ultimate Punk Rock band. In fact they developed more fans than they would have dreamed only after they had been broken up for years! Musically, they are quite good. Some awesome 60's style fuzz guitar, surfy organ, and thumping bass cranking out killer riff after killer riff. The playing was sloppy and downright bad, but the ideas were kickarse. The production however sounded like some worn out, shoddy, homemade record from the 50's. Really awful! But that's part of the charm. The Mummies wouldn't be the cult underground legend that they are if they didn't do it themselves with the cheapest equipment they could find. If you think Garage Rock is cool, then pick up a Mummies reissue and be blown away by the garageyest Garage band in Rock 'N Roll history.

5.0 out of 5 stars the Mummies are great too, December 15, 2002

By A Customer

Here you get a cd reissue of the Mummies Telstar lp, Planet of the Apes 45, one b-side, and a song that appeared on Norton records Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs tribute lp. To those who are unfamiliar with these 'legends' they are spoken of as the kings of budget rock for a reason. Very raw Sonics/ Fabulous Wailers inspired rock and roll is what you get. A great and wild cover of "Justine" and even a clobbering of a Beatles' song are just two of the twenty-two examples of crudely recorded mayhem featured here. Go out and get their Estrus stuff on vinyl and while you are at it check out and support labels such as Norton, Crypt, Telstar, and Sympathy for the Record Industry who are the few who are putting out real rock and roll these days.
For Fans Of: Supercharger, the Trashwomen
(most likely) Not For Fans Of: Korn, Foo-Fighters, Dave Matthews,Limp Bizkit, MTV, most anything you're going to hear on the radio, etc., the watered-down bland list goes on and on...

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't deny for one second this is one of the best LPs of the 90s, April 17, 2006

By	TimothyFarrell22 (Massachusetts) - See all my reviews

What can be said about the Mummies that hasn't been said already? With their attire, their rescued from yard sales equipment, and their total disregard for anything currently popular, their place as underground legends has been secured. No other Garage-Rock Revival band played this crudely with equipment this bootleg. Despite the fact that they promised never to release anything on CDs, eventually time passed and Telstar reissued their best album onto a handy portable digital compact disc. But don't worry - the skips and hiss have been retained. No "digital remastering" or "cleaning up" going on here! And bonus tracks have been added, including what many fans consider one of the group's all time classics, the hilarious "You Must Fight to Live On the Planet Of the Apes". The band takes the best elements of garage, surf, hotrod, and even punk and melds them together into one amazing and potent rock 'n' roll concoction. Any true rock 'n' roll fan owes it to themselves to pick up at least one Mummies album. Rock 'n' roll at it's most crude, raw, and unproduced. The world shall never see a band like this again.
