Recorded at Memphis' legendary Ardent Studios in October 1977 with producer Alex Chilton, "Gravest Gravy" captures The Cramps at the very beginning of their extraordinary career. These are the sessions that produced the immortal singles "Surfin' Bird", "The Way I Walk", "Human Fly" and "Domino" - recordings that helped redefine rock'n'roll for a new generation of outsiders.

For the first time, the complete surviving tapes from those historic sessions are brought together, including previously unreleased performances mixed by Lux Interior and Poison Ivy. The result is a thrilling document of a band discovering its unmistakable sound: primitive rock'n'roll, rockabilly, garage punk and psychobilly colliding in a glorious explosion of raw energy, swagger and attitude.

Produced by Alex Chilton and newly assembled from the original master tapes, "Gravest Gravy" is an essential addition to the Cramps catalogue and a fascinating snapshot of one of the most influential underground bands of all time. Essential for fans of garage rock, rockabilly, punk and anyone who believes rock'n'roll should sound dangerous.
