Back cover
What if authentic rock – the sort everyone’s searching for these days – had always been the preserve of the outcasts, the humble, the underdogs? All those artists who could have or should have made it, all those who missed out on fame – and millions of dollars – by a matter of millimetres?
Here is a strange collection of records that we might politely describe as ‘collector’s items’ – a gathering of mutants and other power trios who have come to save the world (from boredom), hard rock bands playing dark electronic masses, gangs of angry bikers, concept albums lost in glam hyperspace, genuine fake Beatles records, a Doo Wop album by Frank Zappa, Danish guitarists, Japanese kamikaze bands, lost albums by Jack White, Doctor John, Funkadelic, not to mention a few Native Americans, a six-fingered bluesman, various wild soulmen, rockabilly activists, punk pioneers, guitar heroes from the future (or from Bowie’s world), underground dandies and Dion – of course, Dion.
