About This Item
A collection of theme songs and featured tunes from a variety of exploitation films from the '60s and '70s, Josie Cotton'S Invasion of the B-Girls is a one-of-a-kind album. The LP boasts liner notes from director John Waters, who knows more about this film genre than anyone. His own song, InchFemale Trouble,Inch (from the film of the same name) is prominently featured, and will also be the advance digital single to the vinyl LP, helping to raise awareness about the album. The track features the TOWER OF POWER horns; other featured musicians throughout include David Kendrick (DEVO, SPARKS), Paul Roessler (SCREAMERS, TWISTED ROOTS), Geza X, Kenny Lyon and many others. While the movies that are highlighted are often considered low-budget affairs, the production value of these versions take many of these numbers to a new level. Among the songs on the LP are InchManeaters (Get off the Road)Inch from Herschell Gordon Lewis' female biker flick She Devils on Wheels, InchRun Pussy CatInch from Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill! And InchBeyond the Valley of the Dolls,Inch both Russ Meyer exploitation classics. The theme songs from The Girl in Gold Boots, Green Slime and Black Klansman (the Ted V. Mikels film, not Spike Lee's) are all on board and delivered with expected Josie panache. Two songs from the giant Japanese monster genre, InchGoodbye GodzillaInch and InchShiawaseo YobouInch are also lovingly rendered.This follows recent vinyl releases on Sympathy for the Record Industry (new single InchUkrainian CowboyInch and Cleopatra Records (Everything is Oh Yeah LP), and precedes summer reissues of the classic '80s hits Convertible Music and From the Hip, both previously on Elektra Records.
