The Cramps ROCKINNREELININAUCKLANDNEWZEALANDXXX - Vinyl

Recorded live at The Galaxy, Auckland, New Zealand on August 30, 1986.
ROCKINNREELININAUCKLANDNEWZEALANDXXX was originally released in Europe as a vinyl-only limited edition.
Though The Cramps released no new records in the late '80s, they never broke up. In fact, the band spent its time touring the world, introducing new audiences to its singular brand of trashy, reverb-splattered and rockabilly-influenced swamp rock. Recorded in August 1986 in the titular city, this scorching live album is a fine document of this era in the band's long career.
The set covers about half of the then-current A DATE WITH ELVIS album and reaches new peaks of delirium on wild versions of "The Hot Pearl Snatch," "Can Your Pussy Do the Dog?," and "What's Inside a Girl?" that blow away the studio counterparts. The Cramps' love-hate relationship with The King is also explored in a pair of Presley covers, "Heartbreak Hotel" and "Do the Clam." The sound at times approaches bootleg quality. But, with music this deliciously sleazy, fidelity is hardly of prime importance.
