The Cramps – Smell Of Female

Initially released as a six-track live ep in 1983. opening with a stunning rendition of “the most exalted potentate of love”, this set presents the cramps in all of their sleazy glory. the guitar interplay of poison ivy and kid congo powers, along with lux interior’s cheerfully sneering vocals and nick knox’s relentlessly pounding drumming, elevates these songs far from the world of novelty into which they could easily have sunk.
