Like Mutant Beach Punks this is another retro-tastic Anglo-American compilation from 1985. Unlike that one, this one is more scatter-shot; surf, garage, tex-mex, rockabilly and mod doesn't even fully cover the sounds herein. This Ace Records set put the old school and then (then) new school side-by-side, so you get to hear backwards-looking groups like the Screaming Blue Messiahs and Thee Mighty Caesars, AND sixties survivors like the wild Hasil Adkins and the absolutely-lunatic Legendary Stardust Cowboy.
