The Cramps
File Under Sacred Music - Early Singles 1978-1981
Format: 10x7" box set
Record Label: Munster
Condition: New (sealed)
* Munster Records presents a compilation of the The Cramps' early
singles plus some tracks from the same period, 1978-1981, that were
never issued in that format. Six replica sleeves and four new sleeves
were especially designed for this edition.
* I've no idea why The Cramps
don't seem to figure in a lot of alleged histories of punk or just
plain music in general. This could be down to them being utterly or
unpigeonhole-able (is that even a word?) or just outright ignorance.
Perhaps a bit of both, but hey, let's not concern ourselves with that.
The band changed the face of culture. Period. Without bothering "the
charts" or playing too many stadiums, their seismic effect on everything
you hold dear will be felt for all time. This ancient knowledge - some
of their grooviest gravy - is presented here for your delectation and
delight. So get a crack-a-lackin' with blasting these twisted hymns
morning, noon and night. And while the ruckus is in full swing, pray to
whoever might listen that Ivy will get around to compile the
ultimate document of her undulating combo in commemoration of their
services to entertainment. The bloody gears of this here rockin' machine
will be rolling way beyond the foreseeable future. Reasons outwith
anyone's control might mean that you can't see the band anymore but no
one - no how - will be able to make this thing stop. Meanwhile, dig
into this feast for the little ghouls that understood all along or
indeed anyone with a decent set of ears. (Lindsay Hutton)
