The Cramps - Live In Exeter 1980

Hi everyone back from holiday and thought I would start of with some classic "Cramps". Not sure where I got this one, it came from a cheap old tape that I clearly made (it's got my crap handwriting on it) and I have no memory of ever making it. I don't have a specific location and time for this bootleg, but from the dialogue between songs Lux starts an unfinished limerick "there was a young girl from Exeter" so I guess that's where I got the location from, and the year came from the statement just before the classic Goo Goo Muck "be on our new album Songs Your Mother Taught Me" which was released in 1980 (for those of you that spotted the mistake, check out Fred's comment first), which is a little strange as the track was originally released on their classic second album "Psychedelic Jungle" in 1981. So does anyone know anymore? If so leave a comment.

The quality is classic homemade bootleg, but is definitely listenable and some of the dialogue with Lux and Ivy and the audience is worth listening to, just to bring back the memories of how good this band were.

Band: The Cramps
Year: 1980
Label: It's a bootleg
Tracks:
1. Human Fly
2. Garbage Man
3. I Was A Teenage Werewolf
4. Sunglasses After Dark
5, Strychnine
6. Tear It Up
7. Drug Train
8. The Way I Walk
9. Teenage Caveman
10. Goo Goo Muck
11. Zombie Dance
12. The Natives Are Restless
13. Surfin Bed

Ripped from a glorious hissing tape

If you like this and you haven't got these, there must be something wrong with you, Their second album is my personal favourite:
Psychedelic Jungle
their classic debut:
Songs the Lord Taught Us
and if you like just the singles you won't go far wrong with this:
Off the Bone

Um, they don't have an album called "Songs Your Mother Taught Me", I think that was a joke. And a funny one too.
