"The Crusher" was a 1964 regional smash for THE NOVAS. The lead singer
(contrary to opinion) IS not the redoubtable Crusher himself, but rather
18-year-old Bob Nolan, then a 231-pound senior at Edina-Morningside High
School near Minneapolis. Bassist Jim Owens, lead guitarist Ross Ingram and
drummer Jeff Raymond were the other members of this classic garage band,
whose song has become quite a collector's item, especially since it was
covered by The Cramps
Marilyn Monroe, Joan Crawford and Jayne Mansfield were net primarily known
for their singing, but each made records that now change hands for queenly
sums. Do not miss this opportunity to own a magnificent recording by one of
today's few true movie queens, EDITH MASSEY, whose portrayal of the Egg Lady
has helped rank Pink Flamingos close to The Rocky Horror Picture Show among
the most popular cult films of our time.
"I Want My Baby Back" was certified as The World's Worst Record in a pool
taken among listeners to England's Kenny Everett Show, The ultimate example
of the American death-rock syndrome (that also brought us "Teen Angel:'
"Last Kiss" and "Tell Laura I Love Her"), this 1964 record was banned from
many stations for its intimations of necrophilia, but still managed a peak
of #93 in its three weeks on the Billboard Hot 100.
THE LEGENDARY STARDUST COWBOY hails from Lubbock. Texas, and has recently
been seen shining forth from Las Vegas, Nevada, Here's the original hit
version of "Paralyzed:' exactly as it was heard on Mercury Records in 1968.
For Three Stooges maniacs around the world have been clamoring for a record
featuring all SEVEN STOOGES together. This recording is the answer to their
prayers, and sounds like what would happen if Larry, Moe and Curly joined
forces with Detroit's legendary late 1960's punk bond, the Stooges (which
included Iggy Pop), The resultant super group delivers a version of "I Wanna
Be Your Dog:' which was recorded originally on the Stooges' first album.
Affer a long and violent session during which the lads inflicted enormous
damage upon the studio and each other, Rhino's engineers were finally able
to capture this knockout performance on tape, uniting for the first time in
years the "rock" and "comedy' factions of this long-divided bond of
stupendously talented men.
"Young at Heart' was a major hit in 1954 for "ol' Blue Eyes:' Frank Sinatra.
This performance by "ol' Wild Eyes:' WILD MAN FISCHER, is equally
scintillating, albeit for different reasons. One of rock music's two great
primitives, Mr. Fischer was introduced to the world in 1968 on a double
album producer by Frank Zappa, who had encountered Wild Man walking down a
Hollywood street singing at the top of his lungs. In 1975 he became the
first artist signed to Rhino Records, which has released his albums
Wildmania (featuring "My Name is Larry') and Pronounced Normal. [notes by
