The Cramps: Smell Of Female 12"
Released in 1983 after a lengthy court battle with IRS Records, Smell of Female originally contained just the first six songs. These, plus out-of-control ad-lib freakouts âBeautiful Gardensâ and âShe Saidâ (previously omitted due to legal restrictions) were recorded live at New YorkÊŒs famous Peppermint Lounge. There is nothing like the sound of The Cramps, and this set distills that cross of swamp water, moonshine and nitro down to a dangerous and unstable musical substance, captured live like a crazed animal. They rocked like few others could.
Additional bonus track âSurfinÊŒ Deadâ was recorded at A&M Studios in Hollywood and originally appeared on the 1984 soundtrack for Return of the Living Deadâwhen asked to write a âpop songâ for the movie, The Cramps (by then a three-piece) threw into their cauldron a mix of Link Wray, Jan & Dean, Davie Allen, The Righteous Brothers, bongos, Phil Spector and eye of newt.
