Monstero!This was a must have compilation from the rockabilly revival /psychobilly era.
Side one featured legends from the USA sixties garage or outsider scenes before rounding off with a live track from revivalists the Meteors.
Side two brought us some contemporary bands (including the sensational The Gun Club- a bit misplaced here I thought but genius nevertheless).
Honest rock n roll music with a twist of B movie horror, flying saucer madness and the genuine psychosis of artists like Hasil Adkins and The Legendary Stardust Cowboy.
I gave this a spin for the first time in years the other night- there’s plenty of clicks and scratches, but they really do add to the atmosphere.
Play it on the back porch and see what crawls out of the swamp…
That's a Grrreeaaat record!! I owe it (vinyl of course!!) since 89 or 90, can't remember very well. But I do have it, and I am some proud of it… Psychobilly69

Hey ho let's go....thanks for this....I (believe it or not) used to use the track which went along the lines of...."do the eye gouge" as a little sweetner for drama improvisation way back when such 'education' was common place....
ReplyDeleteThis collection....as I recall was a two ton classic of warped yummies.....and thanks for posting....
