"The days of Aurora model kits, Time Tunnel, Secret Sam attache kits, Famous Monsters of Filmland, Fizzies, and Godzilla (the real one!) come flashing back set to the soundtrack of Mr. Gasser and the Weirdos. This is hardly great music, BUT the nostalgia factor is strong and upbeat. If you like the Ventures, Beach Boys, and Peter, Paul & Mary, give this one a try."

You fink! You stink!

"This collection features all three albums by Mr. Gasser & the Weirdos. "Mr. Gasser" was famed hot rod cartoonist Ed "Big Daddy" Roth. I'm not sure how much involvement "Big Daddy" actually had on these albums, other than drawing the covers. He is supposedly the singer here, but I have some doubts about that. As for the music, it consists of hot rod and surf songs. The songs are all played for laughs, and are not meant to be taken seriously. This is by no means "important" music, but if you are a fan of hot rod music, you will probably dig it."

Wow! You wont' be Sorry!
