I bought "Earth vs Shockabilly" when it came out in '83, and it never quite gelled for me. Some parts I still do not like or understand, but that's OK. That is what art is like.
What this album DOES have, however, is (in my opinion) the benchmark version of "19th nervous breakdown". This is The One. It is a favourite tune of mine, and I constantly seek out new versions and covers and this kicks everyones ass, hands down. Absolutely blistering. The take on "Purple haze" is strange and interesting, and most of the other tracks here will widen your opinion of the song (if it is a cover that you know) or of music in general.
This is not for everyone, granted, and I'm not even sure it is for me, but I bought it _again_ on CD, just for "19th nervous breakdown". That one track really is that good.
