John fucking Williams, I'm telling you now, this album is not Star Wars epic. Is this even the same John Williams? This isn't even JAWS amazing but I guess it's pretty good. They like to call him "poet laureate of the guitar", I suppose that's cool. Rock on with your gypsy funk JW, rock on.
Are The Shakin' Pyramids good? I don't know, it's like wanting Prince and getting ZZ Top. They look like they know how to rock, I mean look at that dude on the left. He looks like he could bite off your fucking face he's so crazy, and that guy in the middle? High as fuck, he can't even open his fucking eyes. Don't even get me started about what a sexual deviant that other dude is. According to the back of the record their "sound of manic rockabilly almost brought on the second French Revolution". Wow. They are "laying down some blow-inspired booty". No doubt my friend, noooo doubt.
I would just like to let you know ahead of time that if you were hoping to hear these beefy guys on the cover sing, you won't. Fortunately I guess all they are good for is laying around the fucking shop playing with batteries and baby oil. I also wasn't expecting this album to be a crazy disco soundtrack but now that I've heard it, I suppose it makes 
Marlene herself autographed this record on the back, I'm pretty sure it says "me keoloha primefskjdf" or "my fondest aloha". Getting this record signed was probably Kathleen's greatest fucking day, I can't imagine it getting better than this. I picture this record being played at a 1950's 
I bought this record solely based on this guys name. Apparently these are his greatest hits although I'm not sure how you have a greatest hits album when nobody has heard of you. Also, Mr. Humperdinck seems to think he is a global kinda man, a real cultural fucking savant. Check out the titles of his songs, they're so globe trotter romantic. This album is so so bad I couldn't even listen to both sides. I mean, maybe it does get better on side B but I'm not willing to record it unless someone wants to donate me a bunch of money, at least like 15 dollars.
This album is made of win. Thanks to Tiff for spotting it at Hot Wax the other day. So, mostly comedic sketches and some weird music, but the album art is fantastic. The inside page pulls out and has all these creepy wedding photos. You can download the pages here on mediafire if you want them. Oh yeah, don't listen to this album if you're easily offended by sexist/low brow jokes.
