On this episode of Vinyl Meltdown, Joey Altruda spins a stack of 1950’s Pop 45’s found in the 50 cent boxes at the swap meet. If you’re a fan of John Waters, you’ll definitely appreciate the kitschy, campy sensibility of this music. It’s highly crafted, syrupy, saccharine, sentimental Sputnik-era pop—the reason why Rock & Roll was born!
