In the scheme of things, this record probably isn't among the best on the label. It could be one of the most unusual though. "Mummie's Curse" is particularly odd. It has a Middle-Eastern sound, with the background singers going "aye la lay la lay lay lay". The lead vocals are spoken and are fairly good for a laugh,
"In a far and ancient land
Camels trudge the burning sand
Pyramids climb to the sky
Where pharaohs refuse to die"
Later there's the line "Mummies are like that, yes they are" and the singer says it's his curse to sing this song. That part is believable. The label reads "Vocal by Satan". If that's true, he's been cursed far more than having to sing a goofy song.

Overall, I'd rate this record mostly an odd curiosity, though "Cat's Meow" ain't bad. It's worth a buck or two.
