Magnificent - 62 Classics from the Cramps Insane Collection


 I'm not sure who is doing this series or where they are getting the records from, but I certainly hope that Ivy is getting her percentage from these cats using their name! In any case, these double CD sets are always a fun time and this is no exception.

With cuts ranging from straight rockabilly to country to wacky novelty numbers to doo wop to surf and many that are truly indescribable, you not likely to ever be bored here! On this set there's cuts from greats like Bo Diddley, Larry Collins, Wanda Jackson, Johnny Burnette and HIs Trio, Duane Eddy, Andre Williams and Charlies Feathers and goofiness like "The Blob", "The Purple People Eater" and "Everybody Outta the Pool" and even a Spike Jones number, alongside cuts that the Cramps covered like Ronnie Dawson's "Rockin' Bones", Lonnie Johnson's sweet city blues in "Tomorrow Night", horror-themed tunes, dance numbers, surf instros and a ridiculous amount of others!

Don't come expecting any one thing, these comps are a wild mix of all kinds of musical insanity - just like the Cramps were!
