Back In the Day, 2015
The Cramps
Weekend On Mars 12" vinyl
(Radio Silence)
Purists might contend the Cramps were in truest trim in these early days, when Songs the Lord Taught Us was poised to invade shelves. (Though a rejoinder could argue they produced sterling howlers their full term.) It was manifest that the CBGB's risen wraiths borrowed generously from Link Wray's iconic '60s instrumentals and hillbilly wildman Hasil Adkins' oddball worldview. Just as the moldering quartet larded their influences with personal poison, they, too, inspired ghoul-caravans that lurched in later seasons. Thus, we have jagged monstrousness stalking into perpetuity.
Isssued in 2015, the radio capture of an August, 18, 1979 Club 57 raveup was reportedly limited to 500 copies. On 2024 Amazon, $92.00 can take it home. Others ask less.
