The minute this CD started playing I was whisked back to my teens, a time just after 'A' levels when I was making my way in the big bad world along with a new friend who remains to this day the best friend I've ever had. We shared an interest in music and live concerts that saw us follow a local psychobilly band and that's where we first encountered King Kurt, the band that had the young nubiles of the scene performing pelvic thrusts in a most appealing manner to our developing libidos. The band themselves gave a punk edge to the quirkiness of the recently disbanded Madness and Stiff were falling over themselves to replace the tired, nutty-nutty sound with something newer. I think they got more than they bargained for in King Kurt. This CD contains the original track listing for their debut album 'Ooh Wallah Wallah' along with bonus tracks with 'Destination Zululand', 'Zulu Beat' and 'Wreck-A-Party' sounding as great now as they did then, perhaps because the associated memories all came flooding back upon hearing them for the first time in over 25 years. I'd almost forgotten how funny 'She's As Hairy' is and 'Do The Rat' ha almost slipped off the radar. By no means a rock'n'roll classic but for sheer fun and the memories it evokes very hard to beat and unlike a number of records revisited after several years this still sounds as entertaining as it ever did - certainly aged better than many of the kids who used to fill the dance floor at those alternative nights of the mid to late eighties. Now for the moral dilemma - do I keep this for myself or send on to the best mate I know will love this as much now as he did back then?Read full review

'Tell the community about your experience using the King Kurt - Ooh Wallah Wallah (CD 2009).' I'm nearly 50 and imho music started and ended with punk rock circa 76-79. For me the only thing that came close to recreating the same buzz of those halcyon days was me attending a KK gig at the Palm Cove Club Bradford. To be honest I'd forgotten just how good these ****s were and how many quality, feel good tunes they'd released. Honestly, this album brought back so many good memories I nearly cried. To any other 40/50 year old 'boring' old farts out there I suggest you do what I did and buy this CD, get shut of the Missus and kids, get wankered, play it at full whack and trash your house while dancing like a loon. You'll farkin' love it!
excellent no problems
