"Bad Music For Bad People" is low-down minimalist rock & roll at its best! From catchy-camp to the always strange Hasil Adkins cover ("She Said") this album is a good time, anytime.
The downside to it all is that, if you already own "Songs the Lord Taught Us" then you have a substantial amount of this record as-it-is.

The Cramps-Bad Music For Bad People ****1/2
Originally released in 1984 Bad Music For Bad People is the reason why The Cramps are so revered among punk and rockabilly fans. Combing those two genres to create psycho-billy is what The Cramps are best known for and this is the best example of this.
With jingle-jangle guitars and course out of time vocals being sung about 'spooky' things Bad Music For Bad People is the epitome of the psychobilly genre. 'Goo-Goo Much' and 'Human Fly' both went on to be Cramps classics and are considered among the bands best songs. Others like the angry opener 'Garbageman' and the New York sounding 'New Kind Of Kick' and the excellent 'Drug Train' make this bar far the best Cramps album available, and really the only one worth owning.
Bad Music For Bad People is the only Cramps album that's worth a darn, the rest have some good songs but not enough to warrant buying the whole thing. This is the best of it's kind and one of the only of it's kind and one that I would recommend to all rock fans.

I've always thought that a dream show would be Southern Culture on the Skids, The Reverend Horton Heat and The Cramps. As they tour, they could swap running order spots, because not one of them would suffice being an opening act for any of the others, though I would think that SCOTS and the Rev would volunteer to take a step back in deference to the mighty Cramps.
And this release is probably one of the most amazing collections you can find of the pioneers of psychobilly. Aside from being a great gateway to classic rockabilly with their scorching versions of "Love Me," "She Said" and "Can't Hardly Stand It," The Cramps also touch on the fact that punk music has a source spring, as "Garbageman" attests, but that rock is sleazy and inventive and just plain out of this world. "New Kind of Kick" is the anthem for the burnt out, "Goo Goo Muck" confirms that all of us street urchins are quite simply monsters and deserve to torment the beautiful people, and "TV Set" makes being a mass murderer sound fun and icky at the same time. The Cramps tread two feet in many different kinds of worlds, and this sings to the creep in me.

There's nothing like the trashy sound of the Cramps. This is an awesome compilation and a must have for your post-punk collection. From reverbed out madness to drug frenzied train rides, this is one of the best right here.
