  • The Crabs - Limited Edition in various colours
    Cassette + Digital Album

    These vintage, self released, Ultra Rare, Limited Edition Vintage DIY Demo/Promo cassette tapes from 1994 feature handmade sleeves & design work in various colours and each cassette is hand stamped. Containing a total of 9 tracks, including 2 studio recorded tracks, with the rest being recorded at the bands rehearsal room. Although they are not individually numbered, only around 10 of these cassettes with varient covers were ever made. Featuring rare demo versions of the tracks later featured on the LEGACY CD (apart from the two studio tracks - Bittersweet & Big Momma Stroppenthwack, which are the same as the LEGACY CD) this is the original deal as sold at the bands gigs at the time.This was in the days before digital recording and many of the tracks were recorded on a Tascam, 4 track, portastudio. The results are a cornucorpia of trashy, punk, lo-fi demos.

    Recently found in Near Mint condition. The cassettes have been tested. They play well & sound clear considering they are nearly 30 years old. Although old, they are essentially unused and have only been played once to test them.

    CAN BE SIGNED BY VOCALIST COMMANDER CRAB ON REQUEST.

lyrics

People try to put me down Just 'cos I don't sleep around Alternative methods of satisfaction Can be as good as girlie action I'm so good, all the girls moan 'Cos I practice, on my own Rapid movements in my bed Windows shakin' in the shed Pull it hard and pull it long With this kinda love you can't go wrong Left Hand, right hand, none at all, Rub myself against the wall INSTRUMENTAL BREAK When I've done, I fall asleep It's much better than counting sheep Ain't tryin' cause a big sensation Just talking 'bout Masterbation Masturbation - (Repeat until satisfied)

The Crabs UK

THE CRABS formed in Sheffield U.K. in 1990. Now digitally re-animated to bring their exciting, & sometimes strange world view to a new & wider audience. Musical influences range from trashy Rock 'n' Roll to Punk to Pop. Thematic influences include Sci-Fi, Horror and Fetishism producing a unique musical cocktail. THE CRABS are a powerhouse of singalong Punk with a healthy dose of offbeat humour. ... more
