Description

 

the CRAMPS - Songs the Lord Taught Us, mint vinyl album,

*** autographed in early 80s by ALL band members, including now deceased Lux Interior ! ***

This album has been in my possession since purchased brand new in 1980.  During one of the CRAMPS tours to Toronto Canada in the early 1980's, I was able to meet the band and have all members sign the cover.  This happened after a show at Larry's Hideaway, a now demolished, but then popular venue for touring alternative bands.  The band were extremely friendly and took the time to autograph and caricature their photo on the cover.  A prized possession I must sell.

The cover is mint with no bends or creases.  The vinyl is mint and appears to the eye to be brand new still !  I have kept the record pristine all these years.

 

I have scanned the cover where the band has autographed.  It is hard to get a perfect scan to see the full extent of the autographs.  The autographs include some funny caricatures too and they don't fully show in the scan, but can easily be seen when holding the cover in your hands.  Autographs include:

Lux Interior - singer

Posion Ivy - guitar

Bryan Gregory - guitar [RIP and X written on his face by then current guitar player, Ike Knox ?]

Nick Knox - drums

Album notes The Cramps: Lux Interior (vocals); Ivy Rorschach, Bryan Gregory (guitar); Nick Knox (drums).
Additional personnel: Booker C (Alex Chilton) (organ).
Principally recorded at Sam Phillips Recording Studio, Memphis, Tennessee.
An early (1980) effort by the simultaneously minimalist and over-the-top retro-shlockabilly kings, sympathetically produced by their fellow devotee of Southern culture on the skids Alex Chilton. Poison Ivy's guitar work here is her usual mix of trashcan chording and distorted surf riffs, and singer (?) Lux Interior is in particularly good faux-Elvis form on such instant classics of self-aggrandizement as "The Mad Daddy" and "I'm Cramped." The band, as is their wont, also throws in some interesting covers here, including the Rock and Roll Trio's "Tear It Up" and a version of '60s grunge pioneers the Sonics' "Strychnine" that's so primitive it makes the original sound like Yes by comparison. In a word--wow.

The album will be shipped in a professional mailer to fit albums.  It will be packed very well.  I ship the same day, or the next day depending on time of payment.  Please see my feedback for accuracy of description, and quick shipping.

Overseas bidders will pay $15 US flat rate shipping.
