DEAN CARTER- JAILHOUSE ROCK
OMG! Elvis goes to hell in outta space! Dean Carters most insane take of the Elvis classic, starts off at 100 mph with weird sci fi beeb beeb beeps and an EVIL fuzz guitar riff that sounds like electric bombs coming off with Dean screaming the lyrics like its hes a southern preacher prize fighter his last supper Pappa, god damn and just when u think it cant get any wilder the solo comes Screamin in WEWEWEWEWEEWEWEWEEEEEEEEE!
Played by Dean on his 12 string dobro baby in a leopard skin suit! Its THIS version that the CRAMPS cover on STAY SICK lp but Dean out crazies them! This was put out on Deans own record label MILKY WAY in 1967 and is the most killer garage rock n roll and recorded in his own lo fi studio built in a house! It has ukulele and accordion and clarinet in the mix too and the beeps come from a walkie talkie! Just out of this world! I first heard this on the great Best of Pebbles lp full of killer garage tracks but this one just pinned me to the fucking wall baby! Plezee CHECK IT OUT then start ur own band n make wild crazy music in ur front room like Dean! WE NEED IT!
THE BELLES- MELVIN
The Belles from North Miami Beach recorded this killer Thems Gloria rewrite and called it 'Melvin'. Turns out he was Melvin Bucci the singer for the epic VANDALS! Whos swinging 'I SAW HER IN A MUSTANG' 45 is also on TIARA RECORDS! N also covered by fellow Floridians Mike Vestro & the Cellar Dwellers (Cool Name!) its on you tube, n thou its not as killer as the OG its with it fore the amazing ep cover with Mike standin on stage with a double neck Mosorite guitar lookin like a latino Davie Allen, surrounded by gogo dancers!(Later covered by THE MUMMIES recorded live at a Pizza Parlour too cool! On the epic PLANET PIMP RECORDS)
Melvin sounds like its sung by a girl gang that gonna stick the knife in! Epic street vocal style n cool dirty backing! Available on RIOT CITY, GARAGE PUNK UNKNOWNS, GIRLS IN THE GARAGE, and even reissued recently as a 45 with cool pic sleeve! I recently discovered they did a 2nd single thats a ripping version of 'La Bamba'!
(So im guessing they were a of Latin decent) Comes complete with insane BRRRRRRRs and bird calls wailing a bit like the Tammys Egyptian Rhumba! And loft instrumentation SOOO GREAT! If I ever do a compilation LP (n I really wanna!) this would be the first track on it fo shure!
THE WHYTE BOOTS- NIGHTMARE
Epic trash girl group slayer tale of chick steals guy from chick, they fight, she kills her and the cops come and take her away! 'ITS ALL MY FAULT SHES DEAD!'A BIG fav of IGGYs as is the next one!
THE TAMMYS- EGYPTIAN SHUMBA
TOP TEN girl group screamer about having a dream about going on a date with some MUMMIES! Sisters Gretchen and Cathy Owens and their friend Linda Jones started the band in highschool & were thrown out of a local restaurant for singing along to the jukebox. "We'll be on that jukebox someday", they vowed. Has to be heard to be believed! ALL TIME GIRl PUNK ROCK! "Way down in Egypt land The mummies took our hand Oh! Ah! Oh! Ah! Egyptian Shumba! Eek eek! Ow ow!Egyptian Shumba!"
WAYNE WILLIAMS- RED HOT MAMA
WILD Tennesse 1958 Rockabilly BASHER! FAv of Lux of the CRAMPS coz he loves himself dem RED HOT MAMAS, just ask IVY WOOW! Too Cool! Sounds like it was recorded in yr front room All Desperate n wild n unhinged like the best rock n roll should be, with w WILD BLAZIN Guitar Solo WEEE!" When Shes Hot Shes Hot All Over!"
HERBIE DUNCAN - HOT LIPS BABY
Another Atomic Rockabilly Cramps Fav! In 1958 Herbs Mum convinced Marvel label boss Harry that he was the next Elvis n let him wild in the studio to record this crazy crude wacky vocal killer! On stage he would shake n vibrate so much the girls would go wild! Harry would drive a truck round selling wild 45s by blastin the tunes out into the street! Herb was later tracked down living in a trailer with his wife in Kansas n he was still swingin n vibratin! 'Lets Rock Yeah!'
VERN PULLENS - BOP CRAZY BABY
This Rockabilly beast is SO WILD that THE CRAMPS were gonna call themselves THE BOP CRAZY BABIES! and by the 2nd guitar break when he screams WELL BOP BABY!! and the band n Vern are losin there shit u can see why! In the EVIL top 10!
RON HAYDOCK & THE BOPPERS - 99 CHICKS.
"Well theres 99 chicks it be just my luck not one of the girls that i wanna fuck!"wails Rockin Ron Haydock, Pretty wild stuff in 1958!Ron, like John Waters, got his mind twisted forever when seeing Gene Vincent n the blue caps perform lookin like a bunch of wild Hoodlums on THE GIRL CANT HELP IT at the local Sinema! After that he got him a guitar in began to wail, recording this with neighbourhood teens while still in highschool!
THey recorded another 45 and a heap of other killer songs that didnt get released till the 70s includin KNOCKOUT that was covered by the killer SUPERCHARGER in the 90s.
He started a rock n roll n movie fanzine called APE, then wrote for FAMOUS MONSTERS and FANMO n wrote a ton of trashy adult books with titles like LESBIAN STRIPPER, APE RAPE & FLESH PEDDLERS, then he met the trash movie genius Ray Dennis Steckler and went on to write, produce and star in the crazied RAT PFINK A BOO BOO!
an unusual and abnormal low rent insane batman and robin rip where ron is a rock n roll singe by day and a man in a ski mask riding in the sidecar of a motorecycle made to look like a rat fighting crime at night and the film stars an APE of course!
He wrote for comic books but suffered from bad mental health and and ended up in las vegas thinkin he was a cowboy star, he died in 1977 on route 66, hit by a truck while wandering the road n was buried the day Elvis died.

THE SONICS - INTRODUCING THE SONICS
Wacky 3rd lp by these PNW Garage Gods! I used to have an original of this lp, i got it from Rock On (RIP) in Camden, swapped a stack of shit rockabilly repro 45s n got 100 quid in trade n looked up n saw this lp on the wall for 100 so u said ill have that!(i saw the Cramps goin in same shop but thats another tale)Anyhow i got it home n put it on n thought it was just a bit shit compared to the ist 2 lps on Etiqutte Records, Here Are & BOOM! n sold it later on down da line. Recently i picked up this reissue on Beatrocket and its got 4 extra singles tacked on it too, an somehow it just makes it all the more SWINGIN!
You get the Witch N Psycho from the first lp n Psycho sounds Super cool on it like its got extra echo goin on! YOU GOT YOUR HEAD ON BACKWARDS sounds like thee Headcoats! so great! it has a cover of BAMALAMA BAMA LOO n i LOVE Little Richard so thats a win!I love the stupid ballard LOVE LIGHTS, and LIKE NO OTHER MAN is a solid Killer! as is MAINTAINING MY COOL
One of the Bonus extra tracks is the stupid great DIRTY OLD MAN (that sounds like the Mummies could have recorded it), about a old guy creepin about all the girls n drinking home made punch that makes him out to lunch! and is in the same THUG ROCK style as RUDOLF THE RED NOSED RAINDEER by them on the amazing MERRY CHRISTMAS lp by Sonics, Wailers N Glaxalies that is super fuckin hard to get on lp cd or anythin but well worth it for this n the other Sonics Xmas songs SANTA CLAUS, LOVE LIGHTS (another Gerry Ballad) and the killer DONT BELIEVE IN CHRISTMAS n IGGY is well into it so u know its GOOD! and i went off on a tangent there but this lp ends with a cool version of DIDDY WAH DIDDY and is all round a winner so sayith EVIL V baby!

STOP PRESS! ACTUAL INTERVIEW WITH THE GUY THAT MADE THIS LP!
Through the powers of the universe (and Facebook!) I managed to contact the guy that put out this incredible LP from Rome Italy, Massimo Di Gianfrancesco for my first Evil Vintage Interview!
Heres what he has to say
EVIL: hey that I CAN HEAR RAINDROPS lp is incredible! u should do a vol 2!
MASS: Thank u so much i did with a friend of mine and I wrote the liner notes... I did other comps like REALITIES IN LIFE, WHEN THE TIME RUNS OUTt etc etc ...l have some more uncomped stuff waiting for a label although a mix o garage and garage psych (CANT WAIT! EVIL)
EVIL: The notes are soo great! 'ill never leave home mum n dad just keep buying me records!' and the record choices are killer! I think it tops SHUTDOWN 66! What was ur idea behind it? The other 2 lps you mentioned look GREAT n great graffics, i love the old 80s 90s style lp comp covers that are more Punky n im not a fan of these new fancy colour covers all neat! ill try n seek them out!
MASS: The concept was before SHUTDOWN 66 which I love by the mid to end of the 80's l was into moody stuff like New England teen scene even with my band Head and the Hares we were tired of the typical revival fuzztones like bands we were playin mostly moody stuff
EVIL: It works so well We need more moody emo lps of this quality! If you ever think of doin vol 2 lemmie know, im buyin!
hey i just wrote a review of the lp for my little crappy neocities web page would it be ok to add your comments to it? lemmie know!
MASS: Great no worries. Thanks so much really appreciate. Send me your review if u can would like to read it
AND there u have it! Check this lp out and the others he mentioned n look out for the new one, they are all sure to be EPIC
