About The Record:
Selections From Wigstock: The Movie, by , various artists, is a vibrant soundtrack capturing the outrageous energy of New York City's legendary drag festival Wigstock, as featured in the 1995 documentary film. This compilation stands out as a historical snapshot of mid-90s queer culture, showcasing pioneering drag superstars like RuPaul, Jackie Beat, Deee-Lite, and Crystal Waters alongside underground performers, many appearing in rare live recordings from the actual event. Unique highlights include the only official release of RuPaul's fierce live mash-up Free To Be (a blend of her own hits with camp classics) and a raucous group performance of Over the Rainbow led by drag icons. Fan-favorites include Crystal Waters' pulsating 100% Pure Love (Live at Wigstock), Deee-Lite's funky Party Happening People, and Jackie Beat's hilarious Mad About the Boy. The album preserves a culturally significant moment just before mainstream drag exploded with RuPaul's growing fame, making it a cherished time capsule for LGBTQ+ music fans.
