True, true with reference to The Polecats 'Glam' influences....I actually am persuaded that the first and only relevant incarnation of The Meteors (all other line-ups are irrelevant) are as important as the Cramps. The initial line up fragmented in late 81 and officially split early 82, far more 'Rockabilly' than anything which came after....they brought to light the likes of The Phantom, Johnny Carroll, Peanuts Wilson, Johnny Powers etc etc....in fact they had a huge impact on the Cramps being adopted in the UK and in France in particular as the foundations had been layed and a lot of what the Cramps did was instantly recognisable to the fans, if you can get your hands on it, grab a copy of the Meteors 'Lost Album' which was originally funded by EMI, but they shelved it considering it to be a little too 'out there' for general release.....the track listing is virtually interchangable with a Cramps set list and it was no surprise they were lumped together and the whole debacle over 'psychobilly' started....it was Johnny Cash who first coined the phrase...apparently, but I'm sure some hick had probably come up with the term psycho rockabilly long before that without the kudos !!! And where as Fenech ran off with the name and some kind of vision to perpetuate and dominate the so called 'psychobilly scene' (I lost interest mid 80's when it became uncomfortably cliched) Nigel Lewis went off in the direction that the Meteors had already been steering to, that of Garage punk (the original line up had already covered 'Get me to The World On Time' as the Clapham South Escalators and with his Tall Boys, Nigel Lewis totally embraced the Garage Punk thing, albeit with a very British 'Trash Twist' to it,...christ this could go on forever !
