The Cramps "Greatest Gravy" Listen Up Session w/Henry Rollins (SOLD OUT) — Memphis Listening Lab

Show 6:00-7:30pm

1977 Alex Chilton convinced The Cramps to come to Memphis and record at Ardent.

Those sessions gave us their first two singles, but there was a lot more on the tapes. Now, almost 50 years later, Gravest Gravy finally brings those recordings out.

Henry Rollins was directly involved in going through the surviving mixes and choosing the versions that made the record, and on October 10 he’s coming to MLL to play it for us and talk about how it all happened.

Henry is also bringing a test pressing with alternate mixes from Songs the Lord Taught Us. He suggested a little homework before the event: give the regular version of the record a listen. It’s about 35 minutes and you’ll be able to hear what’s different when he plays the alternate mixes. Not required, obviously, but we like the idea.

The Cramps. Ardent. Alex Chilton. A record almost 50 years in the making, coming back to Memphis.

We’re pretty excited about this.

This event is part of MLL's Listen Up series and is free, but seating is extremely limited and an RSVP is required. CURRENTLY SOLD OUT!
