The Cramps – Performing Songs of Sex, Love and Hate (Limited Edition 12-Inch Album on Pink Vinyl)

This release is limited to 500 copies.

This album showcases two electrifying live performances by the Cramps during their A Date with Elvis Tour. Side One features the band’s concert at Göta Lejon, in Stockholm, on 10 April 1986, in its entirety. Side Two is taken from the Cramps’ gig at the Hammersmith Odeon, in London, from 13 March 1986.

Featured here are awesome renditions of fan favourites such as What’s Inside a Girl? and Love Me, alongside a number of raucous cover versions of classics such as Elvis’ Heartbreak Hotel and The Trashmen’s Surfin’ Bird, and more.

The Cramps are credited as progenitors of the psychobilly subgenre. The band’s unique sound unites classic rockabilly, elements of punk rock, touches of psychedelia, and lyrical fare devoted mostly to monster movies and sleazy sex into an infectious, gloriously tasteless conglomeration of American trash culture.
