First of all, let me say that this is not a “Best Of” or “Greatest Hits” compilation in the traditional sense. This is a collection of one man’s favorite Adam West songs… and that man is Stefan Lörchner, co-founder of Germany’s No Balls Records and Adam West super-fan. This collection is a snapshot into his twisted mind and taste, and includes songs from nearly every era of the band (1992-2008).

Once Adam West toured Europe in the summer of 2000, we gained a solid following in Germany. We got signed by punk rock label People Like You Records, who started by releasing our newly finished “Right On!” album in 2001. People Like You Records did an amazing job promoting us in Germany (and Austria and Switzerland), where we were treated like the rock stars we were. The shows were great, the merchandise sold well, and we got real praise from fans and critics. It was a dream come true for us. One reason we were so welcomed is because of guys like Stefan. He (and others like him all over Europe) would roll out the red carpet for the band when we were in town. He would sometimes even book the shows and arrange the hospitality. He ended up releasing many Adam West records on his label, along with releases from post-Adam West projects like Borracho and Jake Starr and The Delicious Fullness. This guy really cared and made the often daunting effort of touring and playing your balls off every night a pleasure. In fact, I’d say that Adam West developed a family in Europe and Stefan was right at the head of the table. So I thank him profusely for this album! The cover sleeve contains the original, rejected artwork I submitted for the 2003 album “God’s Gift To Women.” When Steve played me the first riff to that song, the first line in my head was “They call me God’s Gift to Women, and I think it’s well-deserved.” I knew EXACTLY what I wanted from that song and eventual album, and this image is it! I scoured many 1970s porn magazines for advertisements until I found what I saw in my mind’s eye. Et voilá!

Second of all, I want to thank all the talented folks I’ve worked with over the years in Adam West. Even though I was the singer, frontman, and spokesperson for the band, I would have accomplished nothing without my bandmates, cowriters, and collaborators. This was a team effort and everyone contributed. When I think about how many guys have been in this band, my mind boggles. I mean, am I that hard to get along with? Haha. I can gladly say that I’m still friends with everyone who’s played in Adam West and even very close friends with some. These are my “Brothers Against The Jive” and I will always be proud that I served with them. I’d be remiss if I didn’t also mention the numerous recording engineers and producers who recorded the songs you’re listening to now. Even though these songs span 16 years and were recorded in dozens of different studios and sessions, I hear a theme… a Leitmotif, if you will. And that is Rock-n-Roll. Fun. Joy. Humor. Audaciousness. Outlandishness. You get the drift. Adam West was a fun band. We wrote songs about sex and drinking and drugs and all the fun stuff. Coming from über-politically correct Washington DC did not help us in the slightest. In fact, we struggled to find fans in our hometown. DC folks just didn’t understand our shit and certainly not my onstage banter and antics. Oh well… we can’t all be Fugazi. Haha.

Third of all, I want to praise the songs themselves. This is not the same “Best Of” collection that I would’ve compiled, but that’s the point. Every listener has a different ear and that should be celebrated. When Stefan offered to produce this album and sent me his song list, I was surprised and shocked. “Why would he choose that song? Why isn’t ____ included? What the fuck is he thinking?” But once again, that’s the point! This is Stefan’s playlist (or mix tape for all you fellow oldies) and he’s fucking cool enough to commit it to vinyl for YOUR listening pleasure. I could go through each song and explain the meaning behind it or tell you the ridiculous story that spawned this riff or this lyric, but I’m not gonna do that. I want you to listen for yourself and enjoy. Then maybe you can make your own playlist of your favorite Adam West songs. And maybe release it on colored vinyl as well! I am forever grateful to all of you…

Deliciously yours,

Jake Starr
