THE CRAMPS - HOW TO MAKE A MONSTER (CD 1, 2004)

Displaying their disdain for the myth of musical progress, THE CRAMPS have reached back into the clammy womb of their prehistoric past to release HOW TO MAKE A MONSTER, a 2- disc 143 minute frightfest of previously unreleased rare tracks. Thrill to first ever rehearsals featuring Bryan Gregory’s sister on drums and Lux Interior ripping out a guitar solo! Wonder what substance they abused during a 1982 rehearsal as they stumble through "Rumble Blues" and add an apocalyptic twist to “Lonesome Town”. You’ll actually hear a dope deal going on in the background during their third ever live gig at Max’s Kansas City! All this and more! Stupefying!
- Includes 28-page book with extensive liner notes by Lux and Ivy, themselves, with
rare and unseen photos and flyers from their personal collection.
- All material previously unreleased.
- 1982 studio demos with the GUN CLUB’s Terry Graham on drums.
- Early and different arrangement of "Journey to the Center of a Girl".
- Early version of "Everything Goes" to the tune of “Bikini Girls with Machine Guns”!
- Home demo of All Women are Bad with just Lux, Ivy, and a drum machine.
- Third ever live gig at Max’s Kansas City with relentless hecklers.
- One year later live at CBGB with shrieking chaos.
