this is a good purveyor of the sleaze: http://www.soundflat.de

Twistin' Rumble volumes 1-4 are untouchable, at least they were until I recieved the three newest volumes hand delivered to my home on Friday night. Holy shit... they are incredible!!! It's true... volumes 5,6 & 7 will be out in a just a couple of weeks in Europe and the U.K., and I think the U.S. as well.

I really like Weirdsville. I had another in the series (Wildsville) but this one was way better.

There's another in the series (if I remember correctly) called Wowsville

The Las vegas grind series is great, as is Sin Alley and Frolic Diner. The Big Itch is good too, although has it's moments of greatness!!

Nice site. Thanks to whoever is responsible.

On the above topic...

This is no substitute for the real thing, but for those of you of an MP3 disposition, you can check out the Las Vegas Grind series (amongst many other great comps) here: http://chocoreve.blogspot.com/

Another good site here too: http://rideyourpony-twighlightzone.blogspot.com/

Enjoy.

i'd recommend getting the Las Vegas Grind and Jungle Exotica on CD - extra tracks and the pressing quality of the vinyl is pretty poor...

out of interest, are there any legal comps of this kind of stuff? all those listed are bootlegs, i think (not seen all of them tho)

I gotta say, both the comps that Bongolia did for the VG+ swaps i've been involved in have been some of the BEST rock n'roll (instro and vocal) comps i've had the privilege to hear. Looking forward to this years!

Seconded.

hi

greetings to one and all - excellent site - would like to recommend crypt records germany excellent mail order and home to las vegas grind and twistin rumble - i believe head honcho tim warren compiled both series - blunderbuss and tabu comps also worth a listen - and finally if in the states norton records catalog is crammed -
loving the mp3s and thanks for pointing me to intoxica radio

the wrestling jesuit

Las vegas grind com are totally greats!
on more is "twistin rumble"

ok, we all agree about "Las Vegas grind" and Twistin' Rumble", other one is :"grab this and dance" on spectra sound records.

not heard of that one slim, thanks for the tip

ok, i dug up some lp comps that include cool instros:

-Swing for a crime (jazzbo)
slow jazzy shakers

-instrumental madness (ostrich)
rockin' shakers...all killers

-r'n'r versus r'n'b (valmor)
includes the ike turner' amazing Doublemint track

Hocus pocus (punch)
comped by Paris' top dj Batman

at the party (candy)
not many instros but all floor-fillers...you need it!

plus check 'greasy r'n'r ' for great stuff here and there....

"...both the comps that Bongolia did for the VG+ swaps..."

Where could one find these? I'm new to the website and missed out. Cheers.

There is a fourth release titled Big Deal. It is sort of a Songs the 5.6.7.8.s Taught Us compilation with originals that insired the band. Well worth it.

Hi-What a terrific site-Am going to sunny Camden today to buy 4 of the Las Vegas Grind cd's that everyone agrees are tip top, and they have a couple of the Twistin Rumble series also. I absolutely have to get the Untouchables track on the home page. Can anyone advise if it is available on a cd anywhere please ? Thanks for your guidance.

welcome to sleaze lance.
crawlin's not on any comps yet so far as i know, the flipside benny the beatnick is (i think) (forget which though) - worth checking out if you can.

there was talk that crawlin' had been booted this year but so far none have materialised

Thanks icky poo. The shop I went to today to get Las Vegas Grind cd's was pretty good and am sure would be of interest to your members- www.nohitrecords.co.uk. They had vols 1,3, and 6 on cd and assured me that 2,4,5, don't exist- however amazon.com has vol 2-but not volumes 4 or 5. Do vols 4 and 5 exist as cd's please. I also bought vols 1-3 of twistin rumble-could you advise on the no this series goes up to.Thanks again

Twistin Rumble goes up to 7. Git em all! You can find em at cryptrecords.com

i have volumes 2 and 4, two is called louie's limbo lounge (it is titled Las Vegas Grind Volume two) on the lp's spine.

But I see you are looking for the cd's - it looks like they didn't issue the full series on cd - or compiled them all over 3 parts?
I'm a vinyl buyer so can't say for certain.

Las Vegas Grind on CD is titled Volumes 1,2,3, and 6. Volume 2 on CD has the Dan Clowes cover if you are looking. Twistin Rumble now has Volumes 1,2, and 3 on CD. Each covers two lps less a couple of track so they fit. I have been looking for Volume 3 on CD in the US. So far, it is only available through Crypt Germany. I am still looking for The Untouchables Crawlin' on vinyl, CD, or wave file.

Thanks for your help guys - much appreciated ! Hazmania- the Twistin Rumble vol 3 cd is also available at nohitrecords.co.uk at £10

i could have sold my copy of crawlin' almost 20 times over this year! Best offer i've had is £200
not for sale though, not unless I find another. In which case knowing my luck the buzz will probably have died off by then!

Martin how about doing a Tittyshakers compilation Lp?
I'd kill to have Icky Poo, Voodoo Drums and Crawlin' on vinyl
