THE CRAMPS

BAD MUSIC FOR BAD PEOPLE
IRS 1984

Buy it at Insound!


While you can now get the tracks from Gravest Hits with the CD reissue of Psychedelic Jungle, a number of these tunes can only be found on this compilation and Off the Bone. The single mix of “Goo Goo Muck” appears only here. Hasil Adkin’s “She Said“ was recorded at the Psychedelic Jungle session. “New Kind of Kick” and “Save It,” two of Kid’s proudest guitar moments, and two of the better Cramps recordings, were initially found only on the B-Side of The Crusher 12” EP. With each new generation, it difficult to find anyone born since the late 1960s that didn't have at least a little taste of this in high school - and were never the same for it. Maybe its more than the cover…
