The worst music CD I've ever gotten..... by Stephen Cramer (Salem, OR USA)  1 Stars
December 03, 2008
My words, I can't find a single good thing to say about this mess. The other reviewers before should be ashamed.
The sound of this CD must of came directly from the reel to reel tape deck from the front cover of the CD. The tape hiss is overwhelming, the mono tracks are boring and the complete lack of audio engineering is showing.
The whole thing is unworthy of a place in my collection and will go to eBay ASAP. Why go on.

Great collection! by J. Schwartz (Los Angeles)  5 Stars
August 13, 2007
Fans of the Dr. Demento Show will be familiar with songs like Transfusion, The Fang, Ape Call and Dig, and there are many more in the same vein on this terrific CD. Great liner notes in the booklet and it sounds like the cleanest possible tapes/discs were sourced. No novelty/obscurity collection would be complete without this!

50s novelty hit "Transfusion" is still hilarious! by J. McClain (Lonoke, AR USA)  4 Stars
June 10, 2007
My husband has wanted a copy of this song on CD for years, I purchased it as part of his birthday! He has played it continuously since receiving it! It is a hilarious song, written by the crazy Nervous Norvus! Get it if you remember the song....it's worth the price!

Red Blanchard & Nervous Norvus fans rejoice! by Bear in the Canyon (Albuquerque, New Mexico USA) 5 Stars
October 05, 2005
Great CD for you dinosaurs who remember listening to the Red Blanchard show in the Bay Area in the early to mid 50s and digging his Nervous Norvus platter-spinning. Some rare demos included here and some downright strange music. Mmmm-bully-bully-bully-bully...

Fun vintage novelty rock n roll (3.5 stars) by TimothyFarrell22 (Massachusetts)  3 Stars
August 14, 2005
Of course, those who actually know the name Nervous Norvus are either devoted listeners of Dr. Demento or one hit wonder fans {both camps are familiar with the classic "Transfusion"). If you enjoy that single, you'll probably enjoy this collection, which is really all the Nervous Norvus you'll need. Its far from great art, but it was never meant to be. Looking back it is dated and surreal, but still fun for fans of this type of music. Jimmy Drake (the alter ego of Nervous Norvus) was reasonably innovative in his use of sound effect for novelty records. Its interesting how he used sound effects from a library or archive and inserted them into his songs, making them an accompaniment for his one man band. The songs themselves are amusing if not laugh out loud funny, and are strange enough to appeal to fans of outsider music. The themes include prehistoric times, flying saucers and sci-fi, and even a song about a clockmaker slowly going insane. A fun if unessential addition to the library of those who enjoy either novelty of strange music.

The Rivingtons (Performer)
The Rivingtons secured their place in musical history when their first 45 reached the top half of the Billboard Hot 100 in the summer of 1962, and the insistently catchy title ‘Papa Oom Mow Mow’ turned every listener into a sing-a-long bass voice. The group followed this with their own answer-disc, ‘Mama Oom Mow Mow’, and went on to capture the dance-craze market with ‘The Bird Is the Word’, a crossover hit in spring 1963, while their two Hot 100 hits were merged into a medley as...
