Fortunately, DJ Herb saved me the trouble of summarizing all the
releases to date. But I do have a couple of comments:

DJ Herb:

They're not all porn flicks, but they are exploitation films of one
kind or another: horror, juvenile delinquent films, etc.

I actually *like* that dialogue! Especially on FASTER PUSSYCAT! ;-)

This is probably my least favorite. However, you *must* get the
Funki Porcini vs. Jerry Van Rooyen 12" on Sideburn (offshoot of
CDHW)! It's a classic.

Both of these are available on eye-boggling picture discs with extra
tracks not on the original vinyl or CD.

This is my favorite of the four, because there's more variety.
Apparently it's Vol. 1 of a proposed series of 3. If you like this
stuff, you should also check out the Easy Tempo series (3 so far)
on the Right Tempo label, or MO' PLEN 2000 and MO' PLEN 3000 on
Irma. They're all Italian soundtracks featuring some of the
same composers.

Oh yeah, there's one more CDHW release: Gert Wilden's I TOLD YOU
NOT TO CRY. The title track is hysterical.

Hope this helps.
