One of their finest.......2006-09-29

The essence of what are the Cramps. Anyone with any musical taste should buy a copy. Audiophile types KEEP OUT!

Not essential........2005-05-02

I'm a big Cramps fan, own everything by them, but felt very cheated when I bought this. The recording quality couldn't be any worse. I'd give the cd itself one star, but I give two stars for the booklet, which is great with many great illustrations.

The Cramps - 'How To Make A Monster' 2-CD (Vengeance).......2005-01-25

Nice audio scrap book of some truly rare/nearly impossible-to-find snippets from the vaults that spans through much of the group's twenty-five plus year career.A total of 45 tracks.Disc one has plenty of semi-rough demos and rehearsal sets.All are of very listenable quality,dating back between 1976-88.Out of the six segments here,I think I like the 1982 A&M Studio demos the best,with "Five Years Ahead Of My Time"(one of the best Cramps songs I think I've ever heard),"Call Of The Wighat" and the Tommy James&The Shondells cover "Hanky Panky".Also fun to hear were the two October 1976 roughs "I Was A Teenage Werewolf" and "Can't Hardly Stand It".Disc two is a REAL gem.First part is a good-sounding nine track gig from the band's third EVER playing gig at Max's Kansas City in January 1977.With cuts like "Don't Eat Stuff Off The Sidewalk","Sunglasses After Dark","TV Set" and the unforgetable "I'm Cramped",you get to fully experience a real 'live' vintage Cramps concert.Check out the sparse-sounding crowd,but then again,this WAS their 3rd show.Second part is from another concert,a year later at the famed CBGB's,with tunes like "The Way I Walk","Human Fly","Uranium Rock" and "Subwire Desire" show you the way to yet another Cramps shindig of days gone by.This concert has been widely-available as both a bootleg(I'll assume)as well as a legit release known as 'Lucky 13'.Wanted to mention that I've seen something like six(6)Cramps bootleg CD's in the past year and even on those discs,there ARE songs here on 'How To Make A Monster' that I don't remember seeing on any of those boots.Also,this 2-CD is tracked MUCH better,perfect in fact.Back cover of the release notes that all these cuts are in fact previously unreleased.I believe that might mean THESE actual demo/rehearsal versions.Either way,'How To...' is a MUST-HAVE for any and all Cramps fans.Old,new,die-hards and just fans who enjoy collecting rare/live recordings of those such-cool bands that many of us never really seem to grow tired of.The line-up on many of these tunes are:Lux Interior-vocals,Poison Ivy-guitar,Byron Gregory(R.I.P.)-buzz guitar and Nick Knox-drums.Comes with an irresistible 24-page full-color booklet packed with loads of rarely(if ever)seen photos,well written liner notes and memorabilia.Most highly recommended.

The Call of the Wighat .......2004-10-16

What more could a Cramps cultist ask for?

This is worth the price for the skin-tight Friday the 13th CBGB set from January '78 alone. Throw in four - count 'em, four - takes of "Rumble Blues," with Lux ad-libbing "lyrics" to the Link Wray touchstone, and it's a bargain at any price. So what if the early rehearsal tapes sound like crap? It's the CRAMPS, damn it! And they're playing the forgotten bubblegum classic "Quick Joey Small." Whadda ya want, Rodney Jerkins? The CBGB set, surprisingly enough, is almost well-recorded, as are studio takes of such overlooked early-'80s classics as "Call of the Wighat" and a mindblowing take on the 3rd Bardo's "Five Years Ahead of My Time." Plus you get a '77 show at Max's Kansas City and some near-nekkid pix of Ivy. As close to heaven as we're likely to get in this here world.

It's almost like being there.

Delve into the origins of this legendary Rock 'N Roll machine with this double CD. Lots of great stuff here, but I think "Hanky Panky" has to be my favorite...

Rip Roarin' Fun and Nuthin' More!.......2003-08-02

For those about to rock... Electric Frankenstein salutes you!
This combo must have been breastfed with their copies of "Raw Power" by Iggy and The Stooges holding their mother's milk. They destroy any pretext of a quiet evening at home... God bless 'em.

The CD opens with the caution monolog re-read from Universal Pictures 1931 epic Frankenstein and never lets up. Pure PuNk explosions from every track with no time for a breather. Truthfully you can't help but get sucked into EF's pure rock view of their distorted yet cranked up, oversexed pandemonium universe.

It's nothing new, but who cares? They do it well.

Flat out, blasting Punk Rock'N'Roll.......1999-11-06

Wild mix of the Dolls, the MC5, the Stooges, pre Rollins Black Flag and a whole lot of 60's garage rock hooks. These guys make it all seem so easy. The twin guitar sound is as big and thick as a wrestler's neck, and it's perfectly complemented by singer's WWF approved holler.

Beyond the flooring impact of the sound, it's the songs that make this platter so hard to remove from your deck. Numbers like 'I'm not your nothing' have all the simple, stripped down, brilliance of the early Ramones. Pefect for greying punks like yours truly - as for the young 'uns, their future is safe in these tattooed knuckles: this is the real deal!

The Smashing Pumpkins must die !.......1999-06-19

Wow! This record is just what we need to crush the " alternative " and Swing scene into a million pitiful pieces! Damn, this stuff rocks! These cats are really ugly and snotty! This band takes all of the raw energy of American rock'n'roll, mixes it with some New Jersey attitude and comes out screamin'! Oh yeah!
