Recommendations
Reviews
- Nice sounding album, in my opinion it could probably sound better if handled right, but for what it is (and a live album at that) it's a solid listen.
- Edited one year agoThis remastered 2021 reissue on Vengeance of this infamous live album from the early Cramps (1983) is a definite improvement on the original. It also contains two bonus (one live) tracks and is 33.3 rpm instead of the original 45 rpm, which might also have something to do with the improvement in sonic fidelity.
- This pink New Rose CD is my favorite version of Smell of Female. I also have the 1990 and the 2001 (remastered) discs. Those two discs have three different tracks over the New Rose if you count Surfin' Dead, but the New Rose CD features an exclusive track 7 with Weekend on Mars (and it's awesome!). All three discs have a different mastering, the New Rose and the 1990 are similar but it looks like New Rose has slightly more dynamics, so it's interesting hearing them all! I think the 2001 remaster is the clearest and most detailed, it's not a whole lot different than the 1990 disc (same tracklist), but Call of the Wighat no longer has the Faster Pussycat intro at the end of its track (now matching the New Rose). Listening to the New Rose disc makes me feel like I'm playing the 6 track vinyl with only the extra 7th track, the other two versions seem a little bit long at 9 songs, and it always feels like Surfin' Dead sticks out like a sore thumb since it was a studio track. I enjoy that song more on the Return of the Living Dead soundtrack!
- Edited 2 years agoWorth it for Weekend on Mars. Otherwise it's Just Smell of Female. Still better than that file under sacred music malarkey.
- Still a monster live album at today! . Why not using more live tracks from the same concert forgotten in the vaults....
