Product Description

CD Description

A well-chosen grab bag of rockabilly, garage rock, and their unhinged, unholy fusion, psychobilly, ROCKABILLY PSYCHOSIS& THE GARAGE DISEASE picks up the scattered trash of a few decades' worth of outsider rock & roll. Most of the bands represented never had fan bases that would place them above "cult", but some, like the Sonics (with their sizzling "Psycho") and the Gun Club (represented by the swamp-fever blues "Jack on Fire") have managed to assert their place in rock history. Others, however, like Ralph Nielsen & the Chancellors and The Novas, are little known revelations in high-energy, lo-fi madness.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sexier than Lux's leopardskin grollies!!!!, 18 Dec 2001
By A Customer
I first picked up this album many years ago in a second hand shop for 50p. Whoever had owned it previously had obviously either played it to death, or used it as a frisbee, such was the state of the vinyl. Still, it had a track by The Cramps that I'd never heard before, so I had to have it. Little did I know that 'side A' would contain such infectious, fuzzed out, garage punkiness, mindless surf pop, and mad-hick rockabilly craziness to put me right off all those awful 'Klub Foot' compilations for ever!!! Now the genius of Haze Adkins, The Legendary Stardust Cowboy, and The Sonics has been complemented by equally storming extra tracks by Ralph Nielsen and Link Ray, so there's no excuses OK? It all tends to drop off a bit after the Cramps track (with the exception of the Panther Burns), hence only four stars, but at least they included 'My Daddy Is A Vampire', performed by the original line up of The Meteors, which was the only line up that were any good, really!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome, 13 Dec 2003
By Dan Sumption "www.sumption.org" (Sheffield, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
I picked this album up when I was sixteen, eighteen years ago. I'm still playing it, and still loving it. The recordings are rough, some of the songs are downright bizarre and beyond, but the energy and intensity of the tracks are incredible. Half of the album contains the weirder side of 60s garage/rockabilly music, the other half some of the 80s psychobilly that it inspired. For quality, the first half has it by a whisker (after all, that stuff had 20 years to sink in before the compilers put this thing together) but from the 80s stuff there are still some real gems.

5.0 out of 5 stars If This has anything to do with music,I'm the King of Poland, 24 Nov 2005
By The BlackFerret "Steve The BlackFerret" (Plymouth UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
If you enjoy loud noises, played frantically, and sometimes recorded in a very scratchy format, you should enjoy this compilation.

If you are of the persuasion that rock n roll was designed to either dance frantically to or play full blast to annoy one's parents or elders, then you will find kindred spirits throughout the offerings on this various artists collective.

If you are of a gentler and more cognotive intellectual persuasion, you may feel the need to pass up on this. That, of course is your choice, but, turkey-necks, you are missing a bucketful of FUN!

Can you really fail to be moved by the 1mins 52 secs story-in-song-ripped-from-tomorrow's-headlines angst of the Meteors' Radioactive Kid? Can you live without wondering what Texas moonshine fuelled Hasil Adkins' poetic muse in She Said? Can you really believe that 20 years before WWWF, the Crushers could be inspired to write a whole song about a star local wrestler?

COME ON-life is TOO short to not appreciate this gem. You really will find very few better reasons for 40 mins of kicking over the traces, annoying the wife and just ENJOYING YOURSELF! And if the Missus does look at you, as per Hasil Adkins' lady, Like a dyin' can of eggtomatolybeans, after you've played it-congratulations. You'll know it's been worth it & the pleasure will be greater when, inevitably, you play it again!

Finally, do remember the time of year-this is the perfect anecdote to carols from Kings, Cliff Richard's Xmas single, Socks for Christmas and fondue sets-BUY AND ENJOY!!!
