Ultra Twist - 2025 Reissue

    Garage punk band The Cramps returned in 1994 with their EP Ultra Twist. Its title track was released as a single and was a rugged update of the Sixties dance craze. This 12-inch also contains “Confessions of a Psycho Cat” and “No Club Lone Wolf”, which both perfectly showcase their unique blend of punk, rockabilly, and garage rock.

        A double CD that’s long gone in the world of incredibly strange music. Featuring 62 wild and way out tracks, the third collection of tunes, its predecessors having been acclaimed and spun all over 6Music and raved about from Shindig! to Vive Le Rock and Louder Than Bombs. Including wild instrumentals, deranged doo-wop, raucous rockabilly, primal rock ‘n’ roll, space-age weirdness, jungle grooves, new dance trends and some of the oddest 45s ever. Festooned with rare cuts, mono-syllabic rants, anthemic, echoey guitars, rip-‘em-up generation terrorists, prison laments, nonsensical surrealism and a story about a guy who’s just a heel. Selected from Lux and Ivy’s gargantuan record collection, radio shows and interviews over the years, it’s a hi-octane romp through the best in obscure and “magnificent” wax from the greatest period of American music. Remastered from the original sound sources with sleevenotes by MOJO magazine’s Dave Henderson.

        The Cramps

        Look Mom No Head!

          Wooooooooaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh THE CRAMPS ARE BACK! After a brief stay in the corporate clutches of EMI, they return to the warm, if slightly sticky, embrace of Big Beat, Their concern for the soft white bit of the under-belly of that thing lying over there on the ground, remains as touching and glamourous as it always was. Dames, booze, chains, boots, two heads, sex change, and that's just the first two little numbers. Slip outa something clinging, and let Lux Interior and lggy Pop tell you all about their mini skirt blues.... but who's wearin' it? Later that same evening there was little doubt left about the dress sense- "but Mister Interior what do you mean you wanna get in my pants???" - she panted!!! Hardworkin' woman Poison Ivy wiggles, wobbles and shouts out, screamin' with the sound of female rockin' & rollin' guitar, plastering great swathes of reverberation all over the place. The strangeness in the Cramps. No head???? - hey don't get funny with me punk!!!

          The Cramps

          Big Beat From Badsville

            As the Cramps approached their 20th anniversary, they showed no signs of changing their signature kitschy psychobilly style. 'Big Beat From Badsville' is a collection of campy songs about sex, horror, violence, leather and perversion - well what else did you expect?! Sonically, it's slightly rawer than it's predecessor, Flamejob, and the group's performances are as inspired here as they are on any of their other '90s albums.

              The Cramps

              Rockinnreelininaucklandnewzealandxxx

                On August 30, 1986, The Cramps played the final night of their 'Date With Elvis' World Tour. The venue was The Galaxy in Auckland, New Zealand. Sleazing it up live, the band rated this their best gig of the whole tour (and it had been a great tour!). After the gig, the sound engineer gave the band a tape he had run off during the concert. Back at their hotel, The Cramps were amazed to discover that the recording was, unusually for these things, of almost studio quality. For a band that had been heavily bootlegged at live gigs, it gave The Cramps the chance to challenge the shoddy sound of the pirate recordings by putting out a top quality official bootleg album of their own. A deal was sorted out with Big Beat's Roger Armstrong and a one drop pressing arranged. There were no promos and the album was never advertised but the pressing of 40,000 copies sold out immediately. The original vinyl album came out on Vengeance, which, in the early days, had been The Cramps label for their first 2 singles. This version of The Cramps (with Lux Interior, Ivy Rorschach, Candy del Mar and Nick Knox) was one of the best and "Rockinnreelininaucklandnewzealandxxx" once again, offers the opportunity to catch one of rock music's greatest bands in scorching form.
