Radio Cramps: The Purple Knif Show (2lp)
Repress! This release features the much talked about radio show of summer of 1984 that featured Lux Interior playing his favorites and obscure 7" records while howling, buzzing and raving about them. It includes such classic and influential stuff like The Frantics, The Sparkles, Link Wray, Billy Strange, Mad Mike & The Maniacs, Vic Mizzy, The One Way Streets, The Swamp Rats, The Deadly Ones, The Troggs and many more (up to a total of 28 tracks!)... Absolutely entertaining and instructional especially by Lux' comments/noises between tracks.
