All Systems Go

Released

Such was Rocket From The Crypt’s pace of vinyl singles and comp appearances after they formed that they already had a CD comp of rarities called All Systems Go done for release in Japan in 1992; such was its success on import in the US as a result that the band revamped it, adding some songs, removing others and otherwise creating a brilliant introduction to the band’s non-album work. With covers of the Big Bopper and Adam and the Ants and great originals like “Boychucker” and “Pigeon Eater” among the choices, it’s a hell of a rock and roll treat.
