Merry Luxmas: It's Xmas in Crampsville/ Various - Merry Luxmas: It's Christmas In Crampsville - Season's Gratings From The Cramps Vinyl Basement / Various

UK holiday collection. 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.
