1970s and 80s Glam Punk buzzers from wrestling superstar The Exotic Adrian Streets debut album Shake, Wrestle N Roll Reissued For The First Time Ever On Burger!!!

A Welsh coal miner who lifted weights with Sean Connery in the 50s, who was later refashioned into a transvestite with a broken nose, the Exotic Adrian Street was the first glitter kid rallying cry in the bone-crushing world of professional wrestling. I needed the spotlight, not the darkness, says Street, who left the coalmines and became a wrestler in 1957. He began by boxing for dollars a fight all throughout England, but by the time Marc Bolan was Top of the Pops in 1971, Street was frolicking around international wrestling rings in his Crayola-bright wrestling trunks, silver lipstick, glittery cheeks, bleached blonde hair, and unmanly vanity which made him wrestlings most hated heel, and the punkest man in the business. The process began in 1974, with Streets entrance song, and eventually led to 12 bizarrely pop recordings with music videos attached to each and released in 1986 as Exotic Adrian Street and the Pile Drivers Shake Wrestle N Roll. Street, who sings such dazzling lyrics as tough as Marciano and as sexy as Mae West, has since written seven books, some named after his music, which include such delicious titles a Sweet Transvestite with a Broken Nose and Sadist in Sequins along with a music video for Im in Love With Me that was, according to Street, produced by Michael Jacksons videographer and later borrowed by The King of Pop never to be returned! For its 30th anniversary, Burger Records is now reissuing the cult classic Shake Wrestle N Roll with all the original artwork depicting Street with his sensational valet and wife, the Lovely Linda. The repressing will be flattened, much as Street would do to his opponents noses.
