Description
Everybody's heard about the bird - so say The Trashmen and a fitting opener for 16 of the most deranged tracks that you can find. One of the best selling Big Beat releases finally hits CD after a world wide search for tape copies of some of these tributes to the sheer insanity of rock & roll. The Sonics "Psycho", The Novas - "The Crusher", Legendary Stardust Cowboy - "Paralysed" - the titles say it all. The original album has lost one track but gained the legendary and rare even-on-vinyl Ralph Nielson & The Chancellors - "The Scream", Link Wray chewing the blues and spitting out Willie Dixon's "Hidden Charms" (charms??????!!!) and our very own Milkshakes taking on the aforementioned Link Wray on "Run Chicken Run". Apart from that you still get The Cramps with Jimmy Dickinson ripping up Sonny Burgess's "Red Headed Woman", Britain's psychobilly kings The Meteors with a live "My Daddy Is A Vampire" and "Radioactive Kid" along with the late great Gun Club, Tav Falco's Panther Burns with their finest destructobilly and two other bands of this parish the Sting-Rays and The Guana Batz. As it says - 'Not suitable for children and CD' - not suitable for CD??? -some of this stuff should never have been let out of its box in the First place - that's why we love it so!!"
