Ant here with a grin from ear to ear looking at the sleeve for Jello Biafra's Jezebel / Speed Demon 7". One side has a pic of a naked woman with a dog on her lap lookng well chuffed and on the other is a shot of some poor blokes bonce with the most severe case of acne I've seen since I used to look at weird medical books with my mate Jim. Anyway Jello blazes through these two covers of old Sub Pop psychobilly dudes The Reverend Horton Heat. With his distinctive vocal he punks them up a bit in a Dead Kennedys styleee. Not the kind of thing I'd play at home these days but still good rocking fun on Alternative Tentacles.What do you get when Jello Biafra & 3 of the Zen Guerillas attack 2 songs for a Reverend Horton Heat compilation? You get this aural ass-kicking of a 7-inch! The A-side is their scathing take on the classic rockabilly tune, "Jezebel," while the B-side is their version of the Rev's awesome tune "Speed Demon!" The cover art is hand-picked by Jello- and if you think the topless blonde with the dog is striking, wait 'til you see the other side. LIMITED TO 2,000 worldwide so get in quick!!!!!!
