King Kurt release on CD, their debut, break-through Stiff Records album 'OOH WALLAH WALLAH' together with a bonus 38-minute DVD.
King Kurt first appeared on Thin Sliced Records in 1982 with the 'Zulu Beat' 7" in twenty different vinyl editions. They built up a following at riotous gigs, famously strewn with all sorts of muck thrown around, amongst also offering haircuts and drinking competitions - their mission was to have fun in dour times.
Signed to Stiff Records in 1983 they hit the Top 40 with 'Destination Zululand'. The album Ooh Wallah Wallah, was produced by Dave Edmunds and entered the UK top 100. They followed up with Top 50 singles the re-recorded 'Mack The Knife' and 'Banana Banana'. After another album Big Cock on Stiff in 1986, they signed to Polydor for two singles and issued further albums in 1988 and 1994.
Musically they created a bizarre mix of roots rock-a-billy, funk, African rhythms and pop, with their own unique craziness and humour. Regular TV shows increased their notoriety as the rat-fixated nutty mohican kids of rock'n'roll.
Track list: Zulu Beat, Destination Zululand, Bo Diddley Goes East, Hound Dog, Wreck-A-Party Rock, Ghost Riders In The Sky, Gather Your Limbs, Rockin' Kurt, Lonesome Train, Mack The Knife, Oedipus Rex, Do The Rat.
