Advantages: Four bonus tracks included Disadvantages: Not too many photographs
The Cramps are one of those bands that seem to have influenced everybody else. Commonly listened to by psychobillies, this band are a fun, high energy bunch of general degenerates. That said, however, their fans range from goths and punks through to alternative, metal and rock and roll fans.
The Cramps are
Lux Interior
Poison Ivy
Nick Knox
The vinyl version of this album, not including the bonus tracks
was originally released in 1985
This CD contains the following tracks
1. How Far Can Too Far Go ?
This is a classic guitar song
2. Hot Pearl Snatch
Plenty of drum beats & guitar style only The Cramps deliver. If you listen to this & other songs on this cd, you can get the feeling Lux is singing hidden sexual related messages.
3. People Ain`t No Good
I personally believe that this song was written ...
Advantages: barrier method of contraception helping prevent STI's and pregnancy Disadvantages: expensive, uncomfortable, difficult to insert, noisy, unnattractive
The Femidom
In theory the idea of a female condom is a great one in that it enables the woman to take control of the contraception using a barrier method to help prevent sexually transmitted infections and unplanned pregnancy. Unfortunately, that is not the whole story and therefore I deem these things as utterly rubbish!
A lot of men hate condoms, they reduce sensitivity, rub where you don't want to be rubber, smell disgusting, are slimy to put on and take off, aren't very romantic and are just generally a pain to have to worry about. However being the only barrier method of contraception for males they often have to put up with them for sensible reasons. I have always been aware of femidoms but never really paid much attention to them as they aren't particularly well advertised and are not stocked in shops anywhere near as much ...
Advantages: Acts as a muscle relaxant Disadvantages: None
Crampark is a shrub. It can also be called 'Guelder Rose'. It belongs to the same family as the elder tree, and grows to a height of about 9 foot tall. It is usually found in woodland and hedges. The name 'Guelder Rose' comes from an area in Holland where the plant was first grown. It has large green leaves and red berries on it. Crampbark works as a muscle relaxant.
It can be good for:-
* Relief of uterine and ovarian pain and cramping
* In cases of threatened miscarriage, under supervision of a herbal or
medical practitioner
* Muscle cramp due to arthritic conditions
* Muscle tension and spasms due to stress or night cramps
* High blood pressue
* Asthma
Do not take this during pregnancy, and when your blood pressure is low.
For internal use, take 4 fl oz, to a maximum of 6 times daily. It can be taken ...

Album Notes
The Cramps: Lux Interior (vocals), Poison Ivy, Congo Powers (guitar), Nick Knox (drums). Recorded live at The Peppermint Lounge, New York on February 25-26, 1983. All tracks have been digitally remastered. Initially released as a six-track live EP in 1983, the re-issue of SMELL OF FEMALE contains three bonus songs. Opening with a stunning rendition of "The Most Exalted Potentate of Love," this set presents the Cramps in all of their sleazy glory. The guitar interplay of Poison Ivy and Kid Congo Powers, along with Lux Interior's cheerfully sneering vocals and Nick Knox's relentlessly pounding drumming, elevates these songs far from the world of novelty into which they could easily have sunk. Ivy's searing lead guitar is the highlight of "You've Got Good Taste," which is dedicated to "all you Gucci bag carrier's out there." "Psychotic Reaction" features a wicked, high-speed harmonica solo set against scale-climbing guitars. Among the added bonus tracks are a version of the extremely obnoxious "She Said," with very different, and apparently improvised, spoken-word verses, and "Surfin' Dead," a slow-tempo twist, recorded in the studio, with heavily echoed guitars. The latter contains a prime example of Cramps-style double entendres (along with a borrowed lyric from "New Kind of Kick," an early track by the band). If you want to know what the Cramps sound like live, this collection is for you.
Album Reviews
Entertainment Weekly (10/14/94, p.60) - "...It's strange to find the Cramps on CD; vinyl seems more in tune with their dirty, disposable aesthetic. But it's still fun to hear FEMALE...their mid-'80s best..." - Rating: A-
