Righteous

Review: Cherry Red offshoot Righteous continues to trawl through the record collection of the Cramps' Lux Interior and Poison Ivy, which as any fan will tell you is notoriously full of obscure, exotic, eccentric and downright bizarre 45s. Fast Jivin' Class Cutters High on Booze is a particularly quirky and bizarre affair, with the included '50s and '60s rock and roll, rhythm and blues, surf rock, rockabilly and beat music songs tending towards the camp, tongue-in-cheek and downright bizarre. It's a hugely entertaining collection all told, and for every excitable workout by no-hit-wonder you'll find genuine buried treasure, such as Aussie Frank Davidson's tribute to the Flintstones, 'Yabba Dabba Doo', Eddie Cochran and Ernie Freeman's 'Fast Jivin' and 'Kan-Gu-Wa' by the Scholars, whose members included a young Kenny Rogers.
