Atomic Platters :: Cold War Music from the Golden Age of Homeland Security
I got this box from the library - it's excellent. Not every song is about nuclear fallout, however. There's plenty of anti-Stalin/communist/Soviet stuff (including Hank Williams' "No No Joe") and the proto-Bob Roberts folkies The Goldwaters.
For my money, the set's alpha and omega is Bert the Turtle's "Duck and Cover".

I first heard "Jesus Hits Like an Atom Bomb" on an Oxford American CD a few years ago. It's still as awesome as its name. Great find here.

Those public service announcements are unsettling. Thank you.
