My first exposure to The Cramps was when I watched Urgh! A Music War on IT-TV when I was in high school. The movie had performances from quite a few bands that would shape the Punk/Post Punk/New Wave scenes in The US and The UK. The Dead Kennedys, The Police, 999, X, and XTC to name just a few. If you haven't seen it and you love the early stuff, seek it out you won't be disappointed. Most of the bands were featured in one performance, The Police being the only featured more than once. After seeing the movie I sought out material from the bands I had seen. Now the first Cramps album that I had was the 1986 release A Date With Elvis and it was one of the first CD's I bought when I started upgrading my collection to that format. This short BBC broadcast features 4 songs from A Date With Elvis. Sadly The Cramps are no more. They broke up after Lux Interior passed away February 4, 2009 from an aortic dissection at the age of 62.
