Here at Cinco Siete Discos Y Tapes we worship at the altar of Lux, Ivy, Nick, Bryan, and and hence are extremely proud to present The Cramps - Bad Music for Bad People, available for the first time on 8-track cartridge. ***** In development for over a year, this project was created, cultivated, curated and assembled by a collaboration of more than 25 fans, artists and volunteers. The packaging itself is "de-Lux" - featuring a custom slipcover featuring a 1978 concert poster designed by X3 Posters and printed by , 16-page booklet of liner notes, rare photos and exclusive silkscreen art prints by Print Destroyer and the art print LUNGS by . Liner notes by , , .falco , Robert Mache, Patrick Bainee, and the album cover artist . Due to the extensive manual labor required to recondition existing 8-track cartridges, only 250 hand numbered 8-tracks are being released. These 8-tracks were each manufactured by hand with love by and include 50 spray painted units on yellow cartridges and 200 units on black cartridges, each hand numbered. No expense was spared making this project, this is truly a passion project. As many of you know, 5Seven is a small DIY non profit operation and given we got a bit carried away with this project, we are actually losing money on every 8-track we sell. Thank you to the band, thanks to everybody involved making this release, thanks to Universal Music Group, & all the Cramps fans out there. This release goes up for sale on Wed December 22th 2021 at 10 AM PST on our website.
