Long Tall Ernie And The Shakers ‎– It's A Monster (LP)
€4.95

The record serves as a prime artifact of the early 1970s European "greaser" nostalgia movement. It delivers a fast, uncomplicated blend of 1950s rockabilly and contemporary British glam rock.

The album operates on high-octane fun, avoiding complex progressive rock trends of its era. It bridges the gap between classic rock-and-roll icons like Little Richard or Jerry Lee Lewis and the theatrical flair of 1970s glam rock. The production is raw and physical. The rhythms chug forward with a driving boogie-woogie bassline, paired with a deliberately over-the-top vocal delivery from frontman Arnie Treffers ("Long Tall Ernie").
