KILLER CARDS: Series 1 (1988) [from Dude Behind The Record Counter]

The always entertaining Dude Behind The Record Counter Tumblr  at: http://dudebehindtherecordcounter.com/, recently ran some posts on KILLER CARDS, trading cards from 1988. Here they are re-blogged in all their glory...

HALLOWEEN’S A-COMIN’…
Remember the day when trading cards were fun(?)… I’m just bummed mine didn’t come with gum! Series 1 of the very limited (I wonder why), KILLER CARDS from 1988.
The back of each card gives the stats with a not-so-nice little scenario.

Compilation of the The Cramps’ early singles plus some tracks from the same period that were never issued on that format.

The vinyl box-set contains six replica sleeves and four new sleeves especially designed for this edition. Also reproduced in the CD booklet.
Both formats include photos and memorabilia.
‘I’ve no idea why The Cramps don’t seem to figure in a lot of alleged histories of punk or just plain music in general. This could be down to them being utterly or unpigeonhole-able (is that even a word?) or just outright ignorance. Perhaps a bit of both but hey, let’s not concern ourselves with that. The band changed the face of culture. Period. Without bothering “the charts” or playing too many stadiums, their seismic effect on everything you hold dear will be felt for all time.
This ancient knowledge – some of their grooviest gravy – is presented here for your delectation and delight. So get a crack-a-lackin’ with blasting these twisted hymns morning, noon and night. And while the ruckus is in full swing, pray to whoever might listen that Ivy will get around to compile the ultimate document of her undulating combo in commemoration of their services to entertainment. The bloody gears of this here rockin’ machine will be rolling way beyond the foreseeable future.
Reasons out with anyone’s control might mean that you can’t see the band anymore but no one – no how – will be able to make this thing stop. Meanwhile, dig into this feast for the little ghouls that understood all along or indeed anyone with a decent set of ears.’  -  Lindsay Hutton

Uploaded by  on May 31, 2011
"(Love Is Like A) Ramblin' Rose" by Ted Taylor, from the single (Love Is Like A) Ramblin' Rose (1965).

Lyrics:

Love is like a Ramblin' Rose
The more you feed it
The more it grows,
Ramblin' Rose, Ramblin' Rose,
Come on home

Ramblin' Rose
Ramblin' around,
Ramblin' Rose
I´m gonna put you down
Ramblin' Rose, Ramblin' Rose
Come on home

Ramblin' Rose,
Is such a ball
Diamond rings
And a Cadillac car,
Ramblin' Rose, Ramblin' Rose
Come on home

Ramblin´ Rose,
I need a Ramblin´ Rose
Ramblin´ Rose

Brothers and sisters,
I wanna see a sea of hands out there.
Let me see a sea of hands.
I want everybody to kick up some noise.
I wanna hear some revolution out there, brothers.
I wanna hear a little revolution.
Brothers and sisters, the time has come
for each and every one of you to decide
whether you are gonna be the problem,
or whether you are gonna be the solution.
You must choose, brothers, you must choose.
It takes 5 seconds, 5 seconds of decision.
Five seconds to realize your purpose here on the planet.
It takes 5 seconds to realize that it's time to move.
It's time to get down with it.
Brothers, it's time to testify and I want to know,
Are you ready to testify?
Are you ready?
I give you a testimonial, the MC5!
