A lost collection of songs by The Cramps has been announced. It is called Gravest Gravy and was recorded in 1977 with Alex Chilton. It will be out on August 21 via Vengeance Records which was revived by The Cramps Inc., made up of Poison Ivy Rorschach, Larry Hardy, and Jimmy Maslon. Henry Rollins and Ian MacKaye. operating as RAM Prod, are working along with The Cramps Inc. A statement from Henry Rollins reads in part, "The Cramps Inc. is the artist formerly known as Poison Ivy Rorschach, Larry Hardy, owner and operator of In The Red Records, and Jimmy Maslon, a film producer responsible for some of the Cramps music videos, and owner of the Herschel Gordon Lewis, and Doris Wishman film catalogs. Both have deep ties to Lux and Ivy, forged over decades. Ivy is the major beneficiary. Larry and Jimmy are handling all the logistics. They are perfect for this. Ian MacKaye and I, operating as RAM Prod. (Rollins and MacKaye), are working on behalf of The Cramps Inc., coming up with release ideas, handling tape maintenance, editing, mixing, mastering and lacquer cutting responsibilities. We are aligned with Inner Ear Studios in Arlington, VA and Infrasonic Sound in Nashville, TN. Many Cramps records and items, such as t-shirts you see on the Internet—are bootlegs. The Cramps Inc. is striving to right that wrong and recently made a deal with the merchandising company Easy Partners. Cool designs for official merch are well underway." The original tapes were found in “pristine condition,” according to Rollins, who selected the tracks for inclusion. The record was engineered by MacKaye and Don Zientara at Inter Ear Studios and mastered by Pete Lyman at Infrasonic Sound. A video for “TV Set”, which was created by Jason Willis, has also been released. Check out the video and tracklist below.
