The Cramps
CBGB’s, New York, USA
June – 10 – 1977
Audience recording of unknown generation received in a trade back in the 80’s
Rec. Info:
Cassette of unknown generation -> transfer via Onkyo tapedeck TA-2330 -> Magix Music Cleaning Lab (edit/remaster) -> FLAC (44,1 kHz, 16 Bit, Stereo) -> dime
Quite good sounding show especially when regarding its age. Some EQ was done to improve the sound.
This is quite a legendary show from the early phase of the band and there is a vinyl bootleg release on Trade Mark Of Quality TMQ 721127.
The show was already on dime in 2008 (but this here is a fresh transfer from my tape received in the 80’s) and here is the text of it:

The Cramps
CBGB’s
New York City, NY
June 10th, 1977
Note from the previous uploader:
“Audience recording, from a cassette source, also sent to me by Sal (as mentioned in the last Cramps torrent I posted).
A bit of an upgrade over my other version of this (which came from a tape of the vinyl version of this), so I thought to post this one…
perhaps a bit of an upgrade over prior versions of this.
As requested by at least one DaD’er, here is one recording I have of this era of The Cramps.
It originally came out on a double-lp bootleg records, with a plain black cover w/ green lettering.
It is an audience recording, but pretty good sounding, considering the source, the venue, the band, and the size of the audience (or lack there of…). The band is still early in their development and a bit more raw (yes, more raw)…
while I totally love Miriam and her drumming in the Zantees & A-Bones, and Norton Records, etc…,
it was clear that she learned how to drum just to play in this band (or at least, not too long before they brought her in after Pam Balam).
The line-up:
Lux Interior-vox,
Poison Ivy Rorschach-guitar,
Bryan Gregory-guitar,
Miriam Linna-drums.
Also, this is a two-set recording. Should be able to fit on one disc, too. Other things worth mentioning…
the sets show that The Cramps started playing some covers that they did thru the early 80s very early on…
the sets do repeat themselves a bit but have a couple of extra tunes…
some of those covers that persisted in their sets also eventually showed up on ‘Psychedelic Jungle’ but with two different members than on this recording…
Miriam would leave the band soon after this (this could’ve been one of the last shows with her)…
and, last but not least, Nick Knox would join them and they would record with him for the first time in less than 4/5 months from this date.”
