Cherry Red is a British label that was founded by Iain McNay in 1978. Also known as Cherry Red Records, this label has become associated with the company Music and Media Group.

The Meteors are a British Psychobilly band that formed in 1980. With their unique blend of rockabilly, punk, and horror themes, they have become one of the most influential bands in the genre. Known for their high-energy live performances and catchy songs, *The Meteors* have gained a dedicated fan base worldwide.

Similar to other psychobilly bands like Batmobile, The Klingonz, and Demented Are Go, *The Meteors* have carved out their own distinct sound. Drawing inspiration from various genres such as rock 'n' roll and punk rock, they have created a style that is unmistakably theirs.

Over the years, *The Meteors* have released numerous albums and singles that showcase their raw talent and passion for music. Their discography includes classics like "Wreckin' Crew" and "In Heaven," which have become anthems for psychobilly fans everywhere.

Since the dawn of time, psychobilly originators and figureheads The Meteors have set the standard for the angry blend of rockabilly, punk and dirty sci-fi horror blues that continues to find new fans around the world. Beloved of bikers, punks, rockabillies, goths, rockers, cowgirls and indie boys alike for over thirty years, the gaggle of pissed off boys who emerged from a succession of London rockabilly bands as the grim 70s lurched into the 80s has slowly mutated into a worldwide phenomenon, legends in their own lifetime and Godfathers of a scene that refused to die. 5 Albums originally released in 1984-1988 / Plus bonus tracks - single mixes and b-sides / LP sleeve replica wallets  / Booklet contains sleevenotes, relevant single sleeve packshots etc  / 75 tracks, including b-sides and single mixes.
