Wild Sounds From An Overheated Jukebox – Lux & Ivy Dig Those 45s – v/a 2cd

Weer de bekende gekkigheid uit de archieven van Lux & Ivy. ‘“A veritable torrent of essential dime-worrying jukebox 45s from Lux and Ivy of The Cramps’ overheated jukebox with freckled fish, wolves and a dab of the ole Uranium blues. 50 sub three-minute epics from twangy instrumentals to hopped-up novelty tunes, insane rockabilly tirades to RnB scorchers, new dance trends and swaggering rock ‘n’ rollers to aching melancholy laments – all undercut with an inevitable streak of madness and everyday irreverence. Add to that some life affirming anthems aided by Lee Hazelwood, Kim Fowley, the unheralded Don Cole, latter day soul legend Bobby Freeman, Louis Jordan and Johnny ‘Guitar’ Watson plus a teenage love letter to Elvis from The Threeteens who also hold forth on algebra.’
