KCRW BERLIN #024
20-12-19
Fanatic! I hope you had a great week and are ready for the weekend and almost two hours of primo tunes gathered with your best interests in mind. No, really!
Our second hour is really cool. A long time ago, there was a band called the Cramps. They made an album called Songs The Lord Taught Us. The version that hit the stores wasn’t the original. It was producer Alex Chilton’s second set of mixes, which were in my opinion, not nearly as great as the first ones. How would I ever be able to form such an opinion if the first mixes were never released? Because the first version of the album got as far as the test pressing stage. As you can imagine, it’s an expensive record. Also, unsurprisingly, it was released as a bootleg which sounds pretty good but not as great as a rip from the test pressing which I made for this show, which will take up a good part of our second hour. Prepare to be very happy. This album needs to come out for real one day.
Until next week, dig the show, take care of yourself and your friends and STAY FANATIC!!!
