"SPACE GUiTAR & DEATHRAY BOOGIE" - Vintage Science Fiction Songs 1930-1954

The allure of outer space between 1930 and 1954 was at an all-time high, and musicians and bands found the time to document these passions in their music. Space Guitar & Deathray Boogie collects 18 of these fantastical stories, via artists such as Johnny Guitar Watson, Big Joe Turner and plenty more besides. It is, in the truest sense of the word, far out! (Ish Kabibble)trax:

Flip - Marvin & Johnny & The Marsmen 10. Rockin' With The Rockets - Harlan Leonard & The Rockets 11. Nagasaki - Albert Ammons 12. Rocket 69 - Todd Rhodes 13. Radar Blues - Big Joe Turner 14. Death Ray Boogie - Pete Johnson 15. The Golden Rocket - Hank Snow 16. Rocket 88 - Bill Haley & The Saddlemen 17. Baby Doll - Marvin & Johnny & The Marsmen 18. Skyliner - Charlie Barnet

That's some high tech lingerie she's wearing on the cover. I bet she saves the coupons from her cigs. Alright, honey, where's the Blue-chip stamps stashed? Modern, intelligent, sophisticated...what's next? AAA-plus from the auto club?
These are cool comps. Just gotta say thank you for you eclectic offerings.

Like Holly I am enjoying the Buzzola compilations. You have a fine tradition of providing the best...including all those crazy old R&B comps. Many thanks for filling tiny holes I didn't know I had in my collection...AND also for providing endless possibilities of songs to cover in my band, PIED BY MOE.

I wonder if 60+ yrs from now kids will be diggin' comps of songs about texting, twitter, blogs, blahblahblah...of course, that pre-supposes that there's some good music about those topics being made....

Annnnyway....love it, dig it, keep it up!
