Fool’s Paradise Favorites – ’50s & ’60s Bop Slop & Schlock is a wildly entertaining compilation curated from Rex’s legendary Fool’s Paradise radio show on WFMU. Released on Jazzman in 2018, this LP celebrates the gloriously strange side of rock ’n’ roll history, collecting novelty R&B, garage oddities, parody records and forgotten 45s from the 1950s and 60s. Packed with humour, attitude and greasy grooves, it’s an essential release for fans of outsider rock and deep-cut curiosities.
