Thank you, Henry, for helping officially licensed products done. They deserve better than bootlegs. Most musicians do, but especially The Cramps.

If only they'd written the tunes instead of pilfering the Mad daddy and Mad Mike legacies.

Ya they need to get more merch on their website. Anything good is all sold out. Thats why people go to bootleg…
Also, The Cramps are one of the most influential and iconic bands of all time, I should be excessively wealthy. I am saf that LUX died without being so, even tho he could probably care less.

It's great that Henry is getting this done!!
As a music afficionado I'm part of the bootleg problem.
But I really try to at least buy a drink when I get the chance for any artist I own a bootleg of!!

I was at the Urgh show. Saw them more than a dozen more times over the years. By far the most influencial band for me.

I first discovered The Cramps on The Return of the Living Dead film and soundtrack (Surfin' Dead) and have been a fan since. It's good to see them get paid for their work.
