Smells good


The Cramps 'Smell Of San Diego Live!' 7" (1985)
This bootleg was recorded June 2nd 1984, at the North Park Lions Club, just days after ending their first headlining UK tour. There are two limited numbered editions of this record, one on red vinyl and one on black (475 each, but I've only seen red). RIP Lux...

Cool, I saw this tour in San Francisco, have a vhs of the show I went to (and no more vhs player of course). The Date With Elvis tour, I think Lux wore spray-painted gold boots.

There's a great 8 minute film featuring You Got Good Taste on youtube - well worth tracking down...

Sorry to see Lux go to the great Go-Go in the sky. I'm truly saddened by his demise. I'm glad he left us with a great catalog of goodness. Thanks for sharing!

I saw this tour in Hollywood. Lux wore gold hiphuggers that kept falling down. He did a James Brown tribute at the end where he collapsed, people came to his aid, then he bounced up and rocked some more. Beautiful stuff!
