Fool’s Paradise Favourites is a cult compilation drawn from Rex’s long-running Fool’s Paradise radio show on WFMU. For over two decades, the show has celebrated the weird, warped and wildly overlooked corners of rock ’n’ roll history, spinning greasy 45s, novelty R&B and glorious non-hits. This CD gathers 20 of Rex’s most beloved selections — tracks that, through sheer persistence, have achieved an unlikely classic status. Essential listening for fans of outsider rock, novelty records and deep-cut rock ’n’ roll.
