Originally released in 1983, Smell Of Female captures The Cramps at full throttle, recorded live over two nights at the Peppermint Lounge in New York. Featuring Lux Interior, Poison Ivy, Kid Congo Powers and Nick Knox, this six-track set distils the band’s raw, unhinged energy into a tightly wound live document. Running through staples including ‘Faster Pussycat’, ‘Call Of The Wighat’, ‘I Ain’t Nuthin’ But A Gorehound’, ‘Psychotic Reaction’, ‘You Got Good Taste’ and ‘Thee Most Exalted Potentate Of Love’, it’s a direct hit of their sleazy rock’n’roll minimalism, delivered loud and without restraint.
