Norton's Big Itch series, the label's vinyl catch-all compilations that cater to every weird and warped rock & roll record ever manufactured, enters its sixth volume with this entry. The general outlook in this series has always been to compile novelty records that are serious bordering on surreal or serious records that end up being novelties by the caliber of performance, or, in an idealized situation, both. This volume is one of the better entries in the series, featuring mind-boggling records like "Short Stuff" by Gene Jenkins (where he sings in one key while a slop-bucket rock & roll combo plays in another), the two-fisted whammy of "Tonya" and "I Found My Baby In Bad Axe" by the Deltrons, and "Hulu Hoop" by (spelling was not their thing, obviously) in among the winners. Other highlights include "Get Off My Cloud" by Charlie White Eagle, "Demolicion" by Los Saicos, "The Fly Swatter" by D.D.T. and the Repellents and "Red Man-White Man" by Rick Kay & His Shades of Today. A nutty, but thoroughly rocking, little album of obscure, crazed little big-beat nuggets.
