The Cramps - 1976-1988 - How To Make A Monster (Live, Rehersal, Studio, Demo)

How To Make A Monster is the third compilation by the American garage punk band The Cramps. Comprising rare, previously-unreleased tracks, the release is a 2-CD set



Disc 1 contains 1976 rehearsal material, some 1982 studio demos with Terry Graham of the Gun Club on drums, and several other unreleased studio recordings. Disc 2 contains two historic live performances of relatively poor recording quality, both from very early in their career: One at Max's Kansas City and the other at CBGB's.
