The Cramps "Hanky Panky" How To Make A Monster(Vengeance)

Before the internet, tracking down songs covered by or influencing the Cramps was expensive, frustrating but rewarding. These are some of the songs I heard for the first time on compilations and singles while searching for that elusive song. I Thank Lux and Ivy plus the others that are more adept at finding and sharing their discoveries.
