If the artwork alone doesn't sell you on this reissue of The Cramps compilation from 1984, check out the tracklist: "Garbageman, "Goo Goo Muck," "New Kind Of Kick," "TV Set," "Human Fly," "I Can't Hardly Stand It," and more… If you already own ...Off the Bone, the band's first comp album originally released a year earlier, you might notice a lot of repeats on Bad Music For Bad People, but again, check the dope cover art! This is a collection of essential album tracks from the punk / psychobilly outfit, and if you're looking for rare-er, b-side or unreleased heat, the LP is probably not for you. However, if you're a fan that'd like some of the band's most important works in one place or if you're just getting into the band that was a part of the early CBGB punk rock movement, you need this in your life. This is the limited-edition 150g opaque yellow vinyl pressing of the album.
