Surfin’ Bird by The Cramps

Artists


Album Info

Release Date: 1978-04

Label: Vengeance Records

There was only one pressing of this 45 with the same matrix numbers, but there were two different sleeves (this one with orange / red back sleeve and a different one with purple back sleeve). Robert Mache printed the sleeves for this single (and for Human Fly) and he confirmed that there was only one pressing of this vinyl with two different back covers released at the same time. The different color back sleeves were done for variation (the same as many of the early band flyers which were printed on more than one color of paper or with more than one color of ink).

Recorded at Ardent Studios, Memphis
Mixed at Advision Studios, London
Both 1st takes, no overdubs

A side is a cover of Surfin' Bird by The Trashmen on Garrett Records (1963).
