Wild, Raw & Spooky!

(4 out of 5 stars)

"18 fun tracks make up this album of surf & hot rod music. Among the highlights: "Haunted Fink", "12 Miles To Babylon", "Hava Nagila", "Road Kill", "Squad Car", "Creeper", and for pro wrestling fans, the riotous fun of "The Crusher" (the only vocal found here).This can be seen as a "transitional" album; 4 of the 5 musicians here previously made up The Witchdoctors (see WITCHDOCTORS A GO-GO) and 3 would go on to form the core of The Bomboras (see SAVAGE ISLAND, IT CAME FROM PIER 13, HEAD SHRINKIN' FUN) while the other 2 would go in a very different instrumental direction as The Huntington Cads. I actually PREFER this to most of the stuff Jake, Dave & Gregg did later, as it tends to have a lot more variety in melody, tempo & style.If you like this, also seek out DIRTY ROTTEN FINKS, a 7" EP with 4 more songs not found anywhere else!"
