Wow. Will have to check that out later.
Oh yeah, the RIP thread was a different one
tell me things about The Cramps (RIP Lux Interior)

*wonders what's going on with Poison Ivy* :-(
She ruled at least as much as Lux did, IMHO.

downloaded a crappy rip of the Purple Knif Show and this is still the best shit ever

OTM. (There's no better rip btw, I've only ever found shitty sounding copies - that's almost part of its charm)

they should just have used the original. no doubt some ad exec felt it needed to sound "modern".
― stirmonster, Sunday, 6 May 2012 22:05 (eleven years ago) link
Maybe they didn't get permission or a cover was cheaper?
― StanM, Sunday, 6 May 2012 22:19 (eleven years ago) link
that's possible. there's a great human fly cover by sonovac they could have used.
― stirmonster, Sunday, 6 May 2012 22:37 (eleven years ago) link
such an amazing band
they really deserve a career-spanning box set

True - but I'd like to see a feature-length documentary even more. There's amazing local news clips from Memphis TV in that Big Star doc, must be tons more great stuff out there.

that panther burns footage is the shit

I wish Ivy would play guitar again - totally underrated.
― Elvis Telecom, Tuesday, 3 September 2013 19:52 (ten years ago) link
Yeah - would be nice to know how she's doing these days.
― brio, Tuesday, 3 September 2013 19:58 (ten years ago) link
was just looking at the Cramps section of my local store, I could swear that all of the LP versions of their regular studio albums were counterfeit pressings. Really hope Ivy does some kind of comprehensive reissue campaign, and yes a box set would be v nice.

I can't blame Ivy for effectively retiring but seems like curating their legacy would be right up her alley. of course, there are probably legal/label problems up the wazoo, who knows who owns what

There seems to be many of these types of compilations, anyone hear this? What's recommended?

That looks like a fun set. I downloaded these years ago:

but should upgrade to higher quality sets like this one when I get the chance.

Ned pointed out on twitter that some of those have been cleaned up and the series expanded by the original compiler. Available here:

who in the hell needs that cleaned up? it'd be better to have an unmastered underwater shortwave wax cylinder molten 96kbps cassette version
