The Cramps – Smell Of Female (Red Vinyl, UK Import LP), Pre-Order [6/5/2026]

Release Date: 6/5/2026 — Big Beat UK

This record’s dirty, loud, and exactly what you want from The Cramps.

The Cramps live in ’83—recorded at the Peppermint Lounge in NYC—sounds like total chaos in the best way. No polish, no cleanup… just raw psychobilly energy coming straight off the stage and out of your speakers.

It’s a short set, but it doesn’t feel that way. Tracks like “Faster Pussycat” and “Goo Goo Muck” (and all the rest) hit with that swampy, twisted rock’n’roll sound The Cramps made their own. Lux is wild and his guitar cuts through, and the whole thing feels alive.

This reissue sticks to the original vibe—pressed on red vinyl as a UK import, just like the early version. Simple, loud, and meant to be played.

If you’re into punk, garage, or anything a little off-center, this one’s a must.
