Cramps-File Under Sacred Music-Early Singles 1978 to 1981 (10 x 7" box set) ... 7-inch
label:Munster (Spain),
New boxset 10x7" singles
A sick set of early singles by The Cramps – the seediest, sultriest and one of the greatest groups ever to stomp outta the proto rock strata of the punk scene – an absolutely incredible 10 X 7" set of singles put together by the good ghouls at Munster Records!
This box is a thing of beauty. First of all, it's got some of their greatest earlyish material, from the killer covers of classic and obscure pulp pop, to The Cramps' own creepy classics. Each single has a picture cover – replications of the original covers plus some new ones designed for this edition.
It's also got a stamped envelope inside with a reproduction of the old Cramps business card and a stack of postcard photos. Sacred indeed!
Titles include "Surfin Bird", "The Way I Walk", "Goo Goo Muck", "Human Fly", "TV Set", "The Mad Daddy", "She Said", "Rockin Bones", "Garbageman", "Domino", "Uraniam Rock", "Fever", "The Crusher", "Voodoo Idol" and more. (The box set is beautifully done – all pic sleeves and includes a sealed & stamped envelope with a reproduction of the old Cramps business card and a stack of postcard style vintage photos.
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.
