LP (Vinyl + CD)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRock 'n' Roll has always had a gloriously eccentric side, and \u003cem\u003eDon't Be Square... Go Ape!\u003c\/em\u003e celebrates it in spectacular fashion. This wildly entertaining compilation gathers sixteen records that ignore convention in favour of humour, irresistible rhythms and larger-than-life performances, proving that some of the era's most memorable records were also its most unpredictable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe line-up is every bit as colourful as the title, featuring \u003cstrong\u003eWanda Jackson\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eClarence \"Frogman\" Henry\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eNervous Norvus\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eDavid Seville\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eThe Rivingtons\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eHardrock Gunter\u003c\/strong\u003e. From the automotive chaos of \u003cem\u003eTransfusion\u003c\/em\u003e and the surreal vocal acrobatics of \u003cem\u003eAin't Got No Home\u003c\/em\u003e to the swagger of \u003cem\u003eFunnel Of Love\u003c\/em\u003e and the enduring carnival atmosphere of \u003cem\u003eJock-A-Mo\u003c\/em\u003e, every track brings its own brand of glorious musical mayhem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's the sort of album that reminds you Rock 'n' Roll never took itself too seriously. Long before novelty records became a genre of their own, artists were already stretching the rules, inventing unforgettable characters, making outrageous noises and proving that a great record didn't have to be sensible to be unforgettable. Beneath the laughter lies some first-rate musicianship, which is exactly why these wonderfully offbeat records have stood the test of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeautifully presented on vinyl, \u003cem\u003eDon't Be Square... Go Ape!\u003c\/em\u003e is an irresistible addition for collectors of Rock 'n' Roll, Rockabilly, Rhythm \u0026amp; Blues and novelty records, celebrating the wonderfully offbeat spirit that has always been part of popular music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide One\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.
