Rock n Roll is so great that everyone in the world should think it's the greatest thing that's happening. If they don't, they're t.urds" Lux Interior
Demented rockers, sleazy crooners and soulful knee scrapers they all co-exist in an altern universe invented by Lux and Ivy. Drums, bass, guitar sax and a hefty dose of imagination all stamped in America. The beauty of the music is in conjuring the long beaches, small towns, late night clubs, the flickering neon lights and the smell of 3am sweat.
These are the tunes that followed in the wake of the Elvis phenomena blasting its fallout across the prairie lands of USA. Here collected as precious relics of an age that slid from view. Eventually this era became well and truly buried by 70's beards, platforms and flares. Then the roll was pushed away and everything became rock; solid, frozen and inert. Zany Kenny Everett gave Nervous Norvus the title of producing the worst record ever, obviously the funny man saw the caped platform heroics of Rick Wakeman as the pinnacle of creativity in setting the bar for almighty judgement.
Dig underneath this pseudery to let these freaks jump out of their shallow cultural graves to let these vinyl gems do the Zombie Dance. They're all concerned with various forms of dementia, the teenage version not the dribbling old folks home. When kids buy big sickles, fiddle around with souped up carbs and strip away the factory filling and produce something sleek and eye pleasing.
Here you have a collection of jivers, twisters, mambo shakers and wierdies.
Having several rocka billy comps this has some cut across standards; Shombolar, Crazy Baby, She's My Witch, Rockin Bones however there is enough "new" material for me here that makes this an interesting purchase.
A party album that will make the night pass with memories of fun as wide as a canyon. A true antidote to the Citalapram induced tedium of the straight hostile world.

Some artists like to keep their inspirations under wraps but not The Cramps who've always been eager to spread the word. From listening to Poison Ivy & the late Lux Interior on various radio shows, I got the feeling that given the opportunity they'd far rather talk about obscure 45s than promoting the band. They were true collectors as this comp ably demonstrates. Stand outs include the slow burn of Kip Tyler's 'She's My Witch' that sounds like the template for much of The Cramps. The Chimes' 'Zindy Lou' is a shuffling doo-wop that sounds plain creepy. Felix & His Fabulous Cats' 'Savage Girl' is an instro that brings to mind Betty Page in her jungle outfit. The Versatones' 'Tight Skirt Tight Sweater' is doo-wop at it's most base. The meaning of 'Poontang' as given by The Treniers is 'huggin' and kissin' but the screeching sax break at the end of the track sounds like 'Poontang' means much more. Tic & Tog's 'Jibba Jab' is a monstrous slice of R&B - one of the scariest voices I've ever heard coming through my headphones. There's a few novelty songs that don't bear repeating but overall this is a top notch collection that fans of both The Cramps and 50s music will love.
