The Cramps - Blues Fix [10-inch] { vinyl }

The Cramps never did anything halfway, and Blues Fix is proof that even a “single” from these garage-rock wild ones is a full-on experience. Originally released only as a CD single back in 1992, this limited edition 10-inch vinyl finally gives the gritty four-track collection the analog treatment it deserves.

Three of the cuts here are exclusive to this EP, making it a must-have for completists and Cramps disciples alike. The standout, Hard Workin’ Man, also appeared on the Look Mom No Head! album, but the other tracks? Pure rarities, dripping with that sleazy, swampy energy only Lux Interior and Poison Ivy could conjure.

From the raw riffs to the unhinged vocals, this record is everything you want from The Cramps - dirty, loud, and just the right amount of wrong. It’s a snapshot of the band deep into their career but still sounding like they just crawled out of the creepiest basement in rock ‘n’ roll history.

Pressed on a collectible 10-inch, Blues Fix isn’t just a reissue, it’s a resurrection. For anyone who lives for fuzzed-out guitars, voodoo vibes, and the most gloriously deranged band of the punk era, this one’s essential.
