Lux and Ivy Say Flip Your Top – Sinners And Penguins Doing The San Francisco Twist

An eclectic collection of unhinged tunes; 50 madcap tracks from the basement of The Cramps’ Lux And Ivy’s mixed up minds. Including timeless party anthems, exploitation dance crazes, novelty pop, tragic ballads, and rambunctious levity.

From an era where seemingly nothing was taboo on record: The bomb, incarceration, gear-shifting hot rods, murder, and more. With obscure maestros including Pat Hare, Eugene Fox, Frankie Ervin, Mel Dorsey, and Vince Everett. And iconic legends like Junior Wells, Bobby Charles, Champion Jack Dupree, Rosco Gordon, and Warren Smith.

Featuring monumental classic 45s: Dean and Jean’s ‘Turn It Off’, Chris Cerf And The Harvard Lampoon Tabernacle Choir’s ‘Fallout Filly’ and ‘The Penguin’, and The Zanies’ epic ‘Frustration’. Remastered with sleeve notes by MOJO magazine’s Dave Henderson.
