THE CRAMPS - inventors of “Psychobilly” - were, in essence, an anarchic, turbocharged, oldies tribute act. • Memorably fronted by singer Lux Interior and guitarist Poison Ivy Rorschach, they represented the point at which Hasil Adkins, The Stray Cats, Showaddywaddy, Johnny Cash & June Carter, Atlas Comics and Mad Magazine may have collided, heads-on, in a 1950s Roger Corman B-movie. • Deranged live performers, they were once described as “Rockabilly on steroids” (probably in either NME or Sounds), which fitted them perfectly. • This compilation presents thirty-four weird, wonderful and wildly out-there greasy Rockabilly and R&R 45s, records which were major contributors to their musical journey. • The Cramps cut straight revivals of many of these sides or featured them in their live sets, while they stole elements of others, incorporating them into new, original songs.
