Lux and Ivy's Good-for-Nothin' Tunes: The Wild, The Weird and the Wang Dang Doodlin' (2-CD)

by Various Artists

A double CD featuring 50 classic slices of madcap vinyl as enthused over by The Cramps' Lux and Ivy. Featuring super rare sides, howling rockabilly, juvenile delinquent anthems, a host of dance trends, plenty of haunting weirdness and lots of hi-octane rock 'n' roll. Including Eartha Kitt, Ernie K Doe, Ronnie Dawson, Bobby Bare, Scott Engel (later of The Walker Brothers), Ken Nordine and Charlie Feathers. Plus beatnik blues and the crazed excess of Portuguese Joe, Myron Lee And The Caddies, The Poets, Charles Senn and Mike Page's 'Long Black Shiny Car'. Along with the awesome 'Wombat Twist' by Glenn And Christy and Harvey Hurt's stupendous 'Big Dog Little Dog' - it's hit after hit. Remastered from the original sound sources with sleevenotes by MOJO magazine's Dave Henderson.
