From Cleopatra Records, the label that gave you ‘Punk Floyd’, a punk tribute to Pink Floyd, comes ‘Punk Me Up: A Punk Tribute To The Rolling Stones’, a release that brings together many of the same bands, and applies a similar no-frills approach to the material in hand. The presence of the same names here strongly suggests that the material was likely recorded at the same sessions for the Floyd tribute and for the fans of some of those acts – Jah Wobble, Fear, Angry Samoans, Skids, et al – their return here will be welcome, since this is another release that potentially offers a couple of interesting collection fillers.

VARIOUS ARTISTS – Punk Floyd: A Tribute To Pink Floyd
Tribute albums have always been a good showcase for the strange and interesting. Where else would you find Lisa Loeb singing Ozzy Osbourne’s ‘Goodbye To Romance’, or Sonic Youth turning in a pleasingly dreary version of Delaney & Bonnie’s ‘Superstar’ via Karen Carpenter? Or even stumble upon Lemmy growling his way through Queen’s ‘Tie Your Mother Down’ with the help of the terminally dislikable Ted Nugent? Yup. When handled with care, the all-star tribute album can be a breeding ground for all manner of great curios.
