THE CRAMPS – Electric Cheese

.

Good mornin’, captain
Good mornin’ to you
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
!

Here we go with more Cramps live stuff. This is great sounding bootleg lp consist of three different shows, Live from Brixton Academy, London, 1990 (tracks 1-8), live from MTV Europe, 1995 (9-11) and live from Montreal 1984 (Track 12).

“The setlists present here are centered around females. Besides the mentioned tracks, we have “Journey to the Center of a Girl”, “All Women Are Bad”, “Can Your Pussy Do the Dog” and “Naked Girl Falling Down the Stairs”. Besides having genius song titles, these tracks are all pretty fun through how over-the-top they are, with Lux Interior really going off whenever possible. Instrumentation-wise, all of the tracks on this bootleg fall squarely into the Cramps formula, namely that of trying to portray a psychotic image of the Rock’n’Roll and Surf Rock cliches of the ’50s & 60’s. If you’re into the Cramps then I totally recommend this overlooked gem.

Ya gotta dig alright!!!

  1. Muleskinner Blues
  2. What’s Inside A Girl
  3. Her Lover Rubbed Off
  4. Journey To The Center Of A Girl
  5. All Woman Are Bad
  6. You’ve Got Taste
  7. Drug Train
  8. Can Your Pussy Do The Dog
  9. Blues Blues Blues
  10. Ultra Twist
  11. Naked Girls Falling Down The Stairs
  12. You’ll Never Change Me

It is inspired by recently issued “Psychedelic Redux” and it gathers the trax from various venues, live bootlegs and two cuts from legendary “1979. Ohio Demos”.

Surfadelic Presents: Punks In Thee Garage!

punk garage 1a1x

 

This Surfadelic compilation is dedicated to 70’s & 80’s punk and new wave bands those who dared to cover some of their 60’s heroes like The Sonics, The Seeds, the Standells, The Wailers, The Kingsmen, The Music Machine, Paul Revere & The Raiders, The Chocolate Watchband, The Shadows of Knight, The Doors… 

As you know many 70’s punkers were fans of 60’s mod & garage rock bands. Boston garage punkers DMZ were one of the first to dig into 60’s punk legacy. Wayne County of The Electric Chairs is a big fan of sixties garage bands, Nuggets and stuff and made maybe the definitive version of The Electric Prunes ’67 classic “I Had Too Much to Dream Last Night”. The Cramps create their whole style and career around the covers of 50’s & 60’s r-billy, trash and garage loosers. Some bands like UK The Inmates, a pub rockers which were not expected to dig US garage rock but did just that with cool cover of The Standells hit “Dirty Water”. You’re already familiar with Johnny Thunders & Patti Palladin silky cover of the Seeds “Can’t Seem To Make You Mine”. NY proto-punkers The Dictators covered “California Sun” well before their neighbors the Ramones. Bebe Buell [ya know Bebe?] sings “My Little Red Book” anyone cares? There’s an really cool cover of “I Never Loved Her” [originaly by The Starfires from Pebbles 8] by The Vogue, little known new wave group from Vienna. Todd Clark Group did a great job with Paul Revere & The Raiders hit “Hungry”. Also you can hear Hollywood Brats doin’ The Kinks’ “I Need You”, The Undertones cover of CWB classic “Let’s Talk About Girls”, Pagans with “Little Black Egg” etc. The most recent cover is from 1990. by my fav garage punkers The Devil Dogs doin’ great cover of The Shadows of Knight classic “I’m Gonna Make You Mine”. 26 trax of supercool garage-punk-new wave action Surfadelic style! Enjoy!

THE CRAMPS – Surfadelic Jungle!

the cramps -poison1b2jk

“Gonna take a week off, Gonna go to Hell
Send ya a postcard, Hey I’m doin’ swell!
Wish you were here, Aloha from Hell…”

 

Hell yeah! This Surfadelic collection is dedicated to my favorite band and 30th anniversary of being ‘Cramped’. The story goes somethin’ like this: Way back in 1988. my then girlfriend gave me an audio casette of some new wave/punk comp. with Joy Division, Dead Kennedys, Killing Joke and stuff, but baby… When “Human Fly” buzz blasted outta speakers I was knocked out & down. As a huge fan of horror, b movies and punk rock, I was won over by The CRAMPS and they soon became my fav band next to Ramones.
First lp I heard was “A Date With Elvis” with legendary killer tunes as ‘Can Your Pussy Do The Dog’, ‘What’s Inside A Girl’, ‘How Far Can Too Far Go’, ‘Aloha From Hell’… but the first album I owned was now a classic “Stay Sick!” ’89 lp. ‘God Damn Rock & Roll’, ‘Bikini Girls With Machine Guns’, ‘All Women Are Bad’, ‘The Creature From The Black Leather Lagoon’ were the hit tunes for the ‘New Cramped Generation’. This comp. gathers my favorite Cramps tunes from their more glamorous second [‘bass phase’] period from 1986. to 2003. and their final album “Fiends Of Dope Island”. I know you already have everything by The Cramps but hey… This is ‘Surfadelic Jungle’, alright! Let’s Get F*cked Up, Dig!!!

Hey kids, I wanna share with ya some really rare stuff snatched somewhere on the net long time ago. This thing shoulda be the mighty Cramps rehearsals for “Big Beat From Badsville” circa ’96. What’s interesting, one track is pretty unknown never heard before, I entitled it “A Place To Die” [pretty  creepy ha !?!] ’cause just couldn’t understand whatta hell Lux sings about [some weird shit for sure]. Anyways, there’s never enough of The Cramps stuff. So here you are Dig !!!
