{"product_id":"the-cramps-bad-music-for-bad-people","title":"The Cramps - Bad Music for Bad People","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBy 1984 The Cramps had already spent the better part of a decade dragging rockabilly, B-movie horror and pure sleaze into the same shallow grave. \u003cem\u003eBad Music for Bad People\u003c\/em\u003e is I.R.S. Records' summing-up of that first run, an eleven-track compilation pulling from the band's earliest singles and albums into what is arguably the best single-disc entry point anyone has ever assembled for them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIt opens with \"Garbageman\" and never lets the temperature drop. \"Human Fly\" buzzes and leers, \"Goo Goo Muck\" struts through the single mix that a certain Netflix dance sequence would turn into a generational obsession four decades later, \"TV Set\" is still one of the great pieces of American gothic ever set to a surf guitar, and \"Drug Train\" and \"New Kind of Kick\" tear through the back half with Lux Interior howling like a man possessed by every drive-in he ever snuck into.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eStephen Blickenstaff's cover art — that green-and-yellow leering skull creature — is as iconic as anything inside, a piece of imagery that has been screen-printed onto more jackets and t-shirts than most bands manage in a career. If you own one Cramps record, this is usually the one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis is the current Capitol \/ I.R.S. reissue, remastered and distributed by UMe. A perfect starting point and a permanent psychobilly essential.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AMS","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl","offer_id":47487439700130,"sku":null,"price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/5024\/3490\/files\/4463849-3565889.jpg?v=1785441276","url":"https:\/\/staticatx.com\/products\/the-cramps-bad-music-for-bad-people","provider":"Static ATX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
