This was The Cramps first "post-Bryan Gregory" recording. Gregory's replacement, Kid Congo Powers (formerly of Gun Club), picks up like a real trooper and carries on more skillfully than Gregory could've ever hoped to. It is only in the arena of "stage presence" that Gregory outdid Congo! This LP was also The Cramps' first commercially accessible album. The sound is cleaner, the recording slicker, perhaps from using the fine Studios on the A&M lot. And the musicianship of the quartet is tops this go round. A single released from this LP (see "Goo Goo Muck", below) had much promise but it wouldn't be the last time lack of airplay denied The Cramps the recognition they deserved

It was shortly after this release that The Cramps' legal posturing with Miles Copeland and IRS came to a head, and there are hints on the LP of what was about to happen. In the "back-masking" of "Beautiful Gardens" Lux can be heard saying (if you take the time and have the means to play it in reverse), "If I said this in English, this record company would turn into a parking lot." Indeed. IRS is no more and parent label (at the time) A&M is merely a memory and an imprint of a bigger (and more evil) musical conglomeration... The suit was settled out of court, the terms of which have never been made public. The Cramps were not heard from for several years while the lawsuit meandered through our legal system. Fans had to depend on live venues to hear new material. And what a treasure trove of material it was!
