Various - Cough Syrup For Elvis Impersonators - 14 Best Ways To Die FLAC download

One from the Beware crew who, probably very wisely, decided that they'd pushed their luck a little too far with their other comps, and decided to issue this one on a different label.It's the same mix of weirdness as the Wavy Gravy/ Psycho Serenade albums.... mad 50s/60s novelty cash-ins, party rockers and a few musically superior songs to lighten the load.The Martin Mull track always gets played in my house around xmas - possibly one of the best ever xmas songs in fact.Andre Williams, Hasil Adkins and Charlie Feathers... three all-time greats who won't be getting paid today. Still - it's always great to hear them. Maybe this type of album would turn people onto their official releases - one can only hope.The Mickey Lee Lane track is one of the best and wildest records of the era. Simply stunning rhythm n' blues rocker. Well out-there.Goundhog Richardson - a strip club record. Good fun. As for Dr Cough - it's a spoken-word anti-drugs diatribe. These things are always good for a laugh.So - in summation. Another dastardly '80s bootleg compiling 50s/60s novelties in a cheaper-then-cheap jacket with no sleeve notes and no photos of the artists (although you do get a photo of a butt-plug and a cannibal Elvis). The only thing it has going in its favour is - it's absolutely brilliant.
