The Cramps - Smell Of Female (Vinyl LP)

Originally released in 1983, Smell Of Female captures The Cramps at their rawest and most unhinged, documenting a ferocious live performance recorded at the Peppermint Lounge in New York City. Loud, sleazy and dripping with attitude, the album distils the band’s psychobilly and garage-punk ethos into a blistering, no-frills statement.

Featuring live versions of fan favourites such as “The Crusher”, “Human Fly”, “Fever” and “I Ain’t Nothin’ but a Gorehound”, the record trades studio polish for pure energy and menace. Lux Interior’s manic vocals and Poison Ivy’s razor-sharp guitar work are front and centre, making this one of the most visceral entries in The Cramps’ catalogue.

Pressed on standard black vinyl, this LP comes brand new and sealed, delivering a gritty analogue sound that perfectly suits the album’s lo-fi, sweat-soaked atmosphere. An essential release for fans of punk, garage rock and underground cult classics.
