3 7"s from the Mummies

I was lucky enough to get all three of these for free many years ago working in a record store. I came in and my co-worker said there were some free records. He didn't know what they were, wouldn't take them, but the guy left them there anyway...3 Mummies 7"s, a Germs CD (to back up my worn out cassette), and some Rip Off Records 7"s. Lucky me.
Needless to say, free Mummies 7"s are not going to be in the best condition (you will hear a few pops and there is one skip). I guess fans treat the records with the same delicacy as the Mummies treat their songs...




The Mummies had the best liner notes of anyone. Click on the picture of the back cover to read.
No song over 2 minutes...no need for more.

"Food, Sickles, and Girls" deserves a place on the same high alter shared by "Louie, Louie" and "Wooly Bully" as one of the most fun inducing rock n' roll A-Sides ever.
The back record picture is blurry. If it's illegible it tells you, in detail, how to steal it from the record store.

Early stuff...funny stuff. Timelessly funny cover, certificate, performance, level of stupidity...the "Runnin' On Empty" (both volumes a few posts down) liner notes were right, they were more like a Vaudeville act.

The Mummies- Runnin' On Empty Volumes One & Two

Where to start on the Mummies...the first time I ever heard them was at a house I used to hang out in, when I was 18, that belonged to 3 gutter punks, a really creepy guy, and a crackhead, where I had to hide my beer in the windowsill, between the closed glass and the screen, to ensure that I would be the one to drink it...it somehow fits...
These two LP's were compiled posthumously (they "existed" from late 80's-early/mid 90's) in an attempt to cash in (if you ever see the records be sure to read the liner notes, even if you find them hard to believe, they are really entertaining) but are no less loose, drunken full throttle junk rock, or as they put it, "Budget Rock," all for a good time, money and/or beer if possible, belo-fi mayhem. Like hearing the rotting corpse of rock n' roll out for one last go.
There is a sense of humor in every last thing they do. The Devo covers are a nice touch too (branching out further than their Dwarves and Thee Mighty Caesars covers).
And, go figure, you should play these albums fucking LOUD.
To quote the liner notes: As we close this "electrifying" anthology; keep in mind that for a cut rate outfit which bore closer semblance to a vaudevillian act than that of a legitimate rock group, "The Mummies were proof that you CAN eat shit and live."
