  • Description

    RE-PRESS: CD ORIGINALLY RELEASED IN 2019 .



    • A timely re-press for this fabled festive compilation and Season’s Gratings from The Cramps’ Lux And Ivy.



    • A 31-track collection of the strangest yuletide 45s ever; from dogs murdering the classics, to beatniks digging the snow plus a lament for an empty stocking, all as found in the Cramps’ record basement.



    • Wild Christmas Tree wrecking rock ‘n’ roll, unstable people searching for a swinging yule, jailbirds, bluesmen and all-round lunatics tackle the festive season with gusto.



    • Featuring doo wop ballads, Louis Armstrong, George Jones, Spike Jones and the Christmas list fandango’s of Joan Shaw and Gayla Peevey plus a smattering of offbeat novelty sides.



    • Remastered from the original sound sources with sleevenotes by MOJO magazine’s Dave Henderson.
