Helta Skelta

Helta Skelta is the 1993 re-release of Hot Cars and Spent Contraceptives (1992), the first album by Norwegian band Turbonegro. It was released on CD only by Repulsion Records in Germany. Only 1,500 copies were made. It includes five bonus tracks (including "A Career In Indie Rock", a 20+ minute audio-play about a young man being raped by a policeman) but leaves out the song "Prima Moffe". The cover is a painted portrait of Sirhan Sirhan, the convicted assassin of Robert F. Kennedy in 1968 (which several people have mistaken for a portrait Charles Manson). Political assassin references continue on the back, which features a photo of John Hinckley, who shot Ronald Reagan in 1981, pointing a gun to his own head.
