"Bud Luxford bands: From 1980-81, promoter, manager and raconteur Bud Luxford began organizing revue-style showcase concerts that exclusively featured fuck bands. Eventually, the mere presence of such concerts spurred the creation of dozens more ad-hoc combos. These concerts and their audiences became a scene-within-a-scene. The light-hearted, fun-first ethic and musical variety provided a welcome change-of-pace from hardcore-style punk shows. The flagship bands of the Bud Luxford stable were Rude Norton, Buddy Selfish, and Los Radicos Popularos (later shortened to Los Popularos). Los Pops were the super-group of fuck bands, featuring Bill Shirt, Art Bergmann, John Armstrong, Zippy Pinhead and Tony Bardach. In January 1981, Luxford released the compilation LP, Bud Luxford Presents; followed a few months later by Volume 2, On Sale Inside. Raising the funds for the albums provided another excuse to stage more concerts. Other bands in the Luxford stable included the Raisinettes (featuring members of the Dishrags), Melody Pimps, Jimbo & the Lizard Kings, Sasquatch, and Mrs Luxford’s Fish. On 25 July 1981, this scene reached its apotheosis with Budstock, a 10-band showcase at the Commodore."

Corsage (with Phil Smith of UJ3RK5) is about the only "real music" on these LPs.
Though the Pino Rogoletti track on Vol.2 is quite seasonally appropriate.
Holy crap!...I'm quite disapponting with this...
Weird. It worked today. I think the second LP is much better than the first - high quality throughout - thanks!
In regards to
"Corsage (with Phil Smith of UJ3RK5) is about the only "real music" on these LPs."
Phil Smith was never in the band UJ3RK5 nor did he ever play with them. He was a part of Corsage, Wasted Lives, and Jimbo and the Lizard Kings. Corsage still performs, and he put out an album in 1983 simply called the Phil Smith Album on Zulu Records that contained music from all of these bands.
whomever said this is not real music, wouldn't know real music if it bit him on the ass....both of these records are superb,Kim Fowley would definitely approve...
