"Cheapo Crypt Sampler" #1! 1994

Crypt Records' Cheapo Crypt Sampler delivers what the title suggests: lots of songs from garage punk bands for a low, low price. The Lyres' "Way I Feel About You," the Gories' "I Got Eyes for You," Thee Headcoats' "Young Blood," and the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion's "Feeling of Love" are among the album's highlights, while tracks by the Raunch Hands, the New Bomb Turks, and Teengenerate add to its impact. A dirt-cheap sampler of down-and-dirty music. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide

This CD changed my life.
I was 15 years old, and just starting to discover non-mainstream music and independent record stores. I'd never heard of any of these bands (maybe Jon Spencer Blues Explosion), but the price was right ($5!) so I bought it.

That might've been the best five dollars I ever spent.

This was my introduction to Teengenerate, The Devil Dogs, The Oblivians, and The Gories. This was my introduction to a whole world of kick-ass rock'n'roll. I had thought that Good Music was something that had died in the 1980s, but this disc showed me otherwise.

You can probably still buy this from the Crypt Records website. I highly recommend it, if only for the liner notes. Crypt honcho Tim Warren, who does the liner notes for most Crypt releases, is hilariously profane, as passionate about dumping on mediocrity as he is enthusiastic about spreading the gospel of Real Rock'n'Roll.

Crypt Records and Norton Records are as important in my life as STAX or Motown.

you should check out the book "we never learn" by Eric Davidson from the NewBomb Turks

FYI, the dialogue snippet at the beginning is from the movie "Joe" about a guy who REALLY hates hippies.

Back in the 1990s, we didn't have imdb or wikipedia or google, and it drove me crazy trying to find out where that dialogue came from. I was finally tipped off when I stumbled upon an old Mad Magazine parody called "Shmoe."

Good times...

I haven't read that "We Never Learn" book yet, but it's on my list. New Bomb Turks always put on a great energetic show. If you're interested in New Bomb Turks, I'd recommend starting with "Destroy Oh Boy" (their first album) or "Pissing Out The Poison" (a double album of collected covers, b-sides, and rarities).

Cheers, RYP!
