DESCRIPTION:  Cool wild and wacky compilation taken from one of Lux Interior’s mix tapes that he used to play over the PA before The Cramps shows. Includes unlisted radio clips of horror movies and other advertisements between songs! There are a couple things that make this compilation special. The first is the cover - it's a collage of ultra-sleaze advertisements from the 1950s and 60s making statements like, "Unusual... Clubs, fotos, films, bondage, discipline, wrestling, fetishism, nudism, etc. ADULTS ONLY! Send $1." and "Sun-bathing movies. European girls - Natural, Unretouched!" and "Raised Skirt Movies!" The second is what's in between each of the tracks listed above. Whoever whipped up this comp (the story I’ve heard is that Lux compiled the original tape himself, and if memory serves, my original vinyl copy of this came via Billy Miller and Mirriam Linna, of then, Kicks fame and pre-Norton Records) placed between track radio spots - a 30 second commercial - for sleazy exploitation movies from the 60s and 70s. "May I say 'yes' to you?" a trampy teen coos. "The traffic is murder in Death Race 2000!" an announcer yells. "Breaker one-niner, this is bedbugger out of BR town..." a CB-talkin' trucker yodels. Yes, this LP is ALL ACTION ALL THE TIME! A great introduction to some of the other similar themed Lux collections that are out their. An expanded CD version of this album that includes a second album’s worth of Lux chosen various artist sleeze, Graveyard Tramps Eat The Forbidden City Dog Food was also issued (some years back). SIDE BAR:  From my copy of the original black vinyl pressing:  As this copy on offer is sealed, I could only compare the jacket with my original copy (it’s the same); the original labels were pink with black type and artwork (black outlines on a white background) of a scantily clad woman; one appearing on side one and two on side two.     

THIS ITEM IS NEW AND UNPLAYED. Used items will include condition details for the cover, disc, inserts, etc.

 

NOTE TO POTENTIAL BUYERS:  If the jacket or disc (unless sealed) is punched, marked, or cut in any manner, denoting a promotional/review copy, I will state that as part of the item description. Also if an issue is a "music club" edition, that will be noted in the item description. (The below information last updated 2/20/24)

 

If you have any questions or if you have additional information, especially corrections, to the description, please e-mail me. I particularly enjoy when an artist, band member, or someone who has personal background knowledge of a particular album/artist and offers their insight/information of that recording, which I will include with the description for future listings of that release. As a collector of many years, part of the hobby side for me is to learn about the background of the artists and music that I collect. Hopefully, sharing some of this information in my descriptions will help educate and enhance your listening experience.    

All LPs are removed from their jackets and placed outside of the jacket for shipping. If an album comes sealed (and will be noted as such in the above description), it will be shipped whole unless you request that I open it up to place the disc outside of the jacket for shipping. Both jacket and disc are placed inside of an outer plastic sleeve before packing for shipping. I use professional corrugated record mailers with inside packing.

MIX:  This sometimes appears in my title line and refers to a group's/artist's music having a mix of styles such a rock track with jazz then followed by a straight rock track followed by a psych rock track, etc., as opposed to a blues album with the album's tracks having predominantly one style.

 

MULTIPLE ITEM PURCHASERS: 

 

A shipping discount will be applied to all multiple item purchases. My automatically generated invoices do not apply discounted shipping (I?m kinda old school). Shipping discounts are automatically applied by two methods:

 

1)   Complete your purchase via the shopping cart and request an invoice total,         

The shipping amount will reflect the discount price for you to make your payment. This method seems to pose some difficulty in navigating to the request invoice link

 

2)   Purchase and pay the full individual shipping amount and I will automatically refund the shipping discount to you once processed for shipping. (This seems to be the preferred method of my customers)

 

US customers whose purchase includes CD(s) along with LP(s) will be shipped in a single package via media mail. Purchases of 3 or more CDs or a box-set will ship via media mail.

 

INTERNATIONAL customers whose purchase includes CD(s) along with LP(s) will be shipped in a single package at the current rate by weight and measurement.

 

A shipping discount only applies if all items purchased ship in a single package.
