Various Artists – Magnificent: 62 Classics From The Cramps’ Insane Collection

Various Artists – Magnificent: 62 Classics From The Cramps’ Insane Collection

31st October 2016 1 By Jon Deaux

62 tracks of some of the most ‘far out man’ Doo Wop, Psychobilly & incredible jungle grooves ever assembled in one place, Magnificent: 62 Classics From The Cramps’ Insane Collection is exactly what it says on the tin. MAGNIFICENT.

From the ultimate classic & accessibility of The Purple People Eater by Sheb Wooley,


to the ultimately weird Ken Nordines Fliberty Jib

there is just so much music to discover on this 2 disc set that is beyond belief.

Compiled from The Cramps Lux Interior & Poison Ivy’s personal & gargantuan record collection, there’s a tonne of rare 45’s on this collection. Rudy Thacker & The Stringbusters Black Train, which was totally overlooked at the time makes an appearance on this collection.

Every track has been lovingly re-mastered from the original source material & is now perfectly preserved for many years to come.

Full of sax grooves, echo tape guitars & anthemic tunes to make even a goth smile this is a totally worthy purchase.

For fans of The Fabulous Wailers
