A Night At the Drive-In: Ukesploitation Vol. 1

(Avalon Street Records)



Appropriately inelaborate, this admiring appraisal of junk screen offerings grappling teens ignored but now appreciate for low-rent charms. The most engaging paeans are those rendered in electric hot-rod fashion. Rubbery monsters, juvenile delinquents, bikinied beach twisters, and skid-row junkies all receive enthusiastic salute as beloved cheesy-fun archetypes. 

Recommended: "Gutter Trash Charm," "Good Girls Don't (Wear Cha-Cha Heels)," "Redneck Mutant," "Sun Demon"
