{"product_id":"the-cramps-date-with-elvis-1","title":"The Cramps - Date with Elvis","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Cramps' A Date with Elvis is psychobilly at its most lurid and grinning, a 1986 set of greasy riffs, B-movie lust and gleefully filthy innuendo.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy the mid-eighties, Lux Interior and Poison Ivy had spent a decade perfecting their mutant blend of rockabilly, garage punk and horror-show camp. For this album the band worked as a trio, with Ivy handling both guitars and bass alongside drummer Nick Knox, and they produced the record themselves. The title borrows from an old Elvis Presley collection, a cheeky salute to the patron saint of their whole twisted aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow Far Can Too Far Go? kicks off with a slinking, swampy groove and Lux's leering croon, and What's Inside a Girl? became one of their best-loved songs, a sweaty, twanging question mark of a tune. Aloha from Hell gives surf guitar a devilish twist, and Kizmiaz brings Ivy's own voice into the mix. People Ain't No Good offers a deliciously deadpan verdict on human nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery song here sounds like it was recorded late at night under a flickering neon sign.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor fans of trash culture, twang and rock and roll at its most unapologetically weird, this is essential Cramps, and it still feels wonderfully dangerous on vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57269570076977,"sku":"655035167121","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/The_Cramps-Date_with_Elvis.jpg?v=1793639875","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/the-cramps-date-with-elvis-1","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
