This is the perfect introduction to The Cramps, featuring clever lyrics and over-the-top, ghoulish lead vocals from Lux Interior on the all-too-short '50s horror-movie spoof "Human Fly" ("Baby I don't care, I'm just a reborn maggot using germ warfare"). Their rockabilly influence was never more evident than on the slow and saucy "The Way I Walk" (with guitars so sharp they slice their way through the song) or the rousing "Domino".This EP would be perfect were it not for a cover of The Trashmen's 1964 oddity "Surfin' Bird". Let's face it, there's only so much one can do with a song like this, and while the band stays true to the original, it rambles with lots of noisy guitar feedback for the last few minutes and goes on endlessly and needlessly. The sorrowful "Lonesome Town" closes on a high note, however, with Lux snivelling his way through the self-pitiful lyrics.Still, for a debut album, The Cramps nail it from the opening note of "Gravest Hits" and definitely leave the listener wanting more. If you like this, you will definitely love the follow-up " Songs the Lord Taught Us ", perhaps their best album ever."Gravest Hits" is not available as a stand-alone CD; instead it's partnered with 1981's  Gravest Hits & Psychedelic Jungle
