"Songs the Cramps Taught Us" series list

thanks to Chocoreve for these.

songs folks found out about by listening to the cramps. unsurprisingly, there is a good deal of overlap with the "Lux & Ivy's Favorites" series. [*grin*] still, it's a fun listen.

"Born Bad" series list

thanks to Zer0_II for this series.

a collection of tunes by bands that influenced later rockabilly & psychobilly groups [like the cramps]. the 1st six started in 1986 and the last two are from "many years later". fun stuff!

Born Bad Volumes 1-6
Born Bad Volumes 7 & 8

"Lux & Ivy's Favorites" series list

thanks to Kogar for this series.

the series is comps of songs mentioned by lux & ivy [the cramps] in books and interviews. they are being re-done by the original comp-er with better sound and better artwork. the series is at 15 and there are apparently gonna be more - he's already posted a preview of the artwork for #16. [*grin*]

the volumes on the wfmu site are the original versions. the ones on kogar's site are [i think] the reworked versions.

thanks once again to RYP, Gyro1966 & JohnnyQ.

tunes with a mambo beat or theme running thru them. many _are_ mambo, but most are r&b. very fun to listen to - especially if you listen to each album as an album in track order. currently [2011-05-24] runs thru 50 and more are expected ...
