Cramps 1st Press UK LP A date with Elvis NM ’86 Big Beat WIKA46 Psychobilly Punk
Original 1st Press UK LP released in 1986 on Big Beat Records. Cat: WIKA46. Comes with printed lyric inner bag which is in Excellent condition. Features full gloss gold embossed sleeve.After Psychedelic Jungle, the Cramps experienced personnel and record label difficulties; they would not release another studio album until this one, four years later. Gone here are the tinny sound quality and horror-flick-based lyrics of prior releases, replaced by clearer sonics and an often hilarious obsession with sex (examples of the latter can be found on "What's Inside a Girl?," "The Hot Pearl Snatch," "Cornfed Dames," "(Hot Pool of) Womanneed," "How Far Can Too Far Go?," and the uproarious single "Can Your Pussy Do the Dog?"). There are numerous sly references in the verses to high and low cultural icons, including "Shake it one time for me" (a line from Jerry Lee Lewis' "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On"), "I'll be dancing through the flames/Like a devil in disguise" (a nod to the Elvis Presley hit), and "Now there's more things in Tennessee/Than is dreamed of in your philosophy" (a paraphrase of a line from Shakespeare's Hamlet). Most of the songs here are in various rockabilly-derived styles featuring either garage rock fuzz or Duane Eddy twanging guitar from Poison Ivy.
Tracks: How far can too fay go?/ The hot pearl snatch/ People ain’t no good/ What’s inside a girl?/ Can your pussy do the dog?/ Kizmiaz/ Cornfed dames/ Chicken/ (Hot pool of) womanneed/ Aloha, from hell/ It’s just that song.
Record and full gloss embossed cover are in Near Mint condition.
