Compilers Mick Dillingham and Nick Saloman wonder for what commercial reason these sonorities were released by record executives. The "obscure, peculiar, and in some cases downright disturbing" considerations found within include an account of one of our ships landing in Northampton, "Rock Around the Clock" in Yiddish, a disco "Arnold Layne," a rap by TV Host Jim Bowen, Hylda Baker covering Pussycat's "Substitute," David Carradine's "Chicken Song," Paul Damian helping you with the pronunciation of Welsh village Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrob-wllllantysiliogogogoch, and much more. Not "bizarre and misguided" at all when observing from a trans-variational orbit, but a detailed description of their origins can be found here.
