THANKS FOR POSTING THAT LINK , DARREN. I guess I did'nt give much thought to the fact  that "Blues Fix" was never released on vinyl..... this was when I'd just got my first CD player (At least I bought it at a yard sale.), and EPs like "Blues Fix" and "Ultra Twist" were only turning up on CD , Tho' "Stay Sick" (Against the label's wishes.) did come out on vinyl , as did all their subsequent albums (Exc. "How To Make a Monster.). At the time , I wondered what took 'em so long to do a Blues- related release.   Hard to believ that was 22 years ago.

That was a bit on the grammatically incorrect side. You know Americans. What I meant was , "Stay Sick" was released ON VINYL at the band and their fans' demand , but against the label's wishes.... We were still getting the UK 12" releases and 45s , but , "Blues Fix" was scarcely even released in the states. It seemed partly intentional that it was a limited release, never to be reissues , til now.) .

I think at the time it was a UK & France specific release, I can't say for certain but the domestic market for the Cramps didn't really start in the US until the early, mid 90's...if it was the case then it would have been only available as an 'import specific' item and not generally available in any regard ?

Darren ,      That's right  , it was an import (Of the split between the UK Big Beat /French New Rose variety...Tho' I'd have to check the label , too , to be sure who put it out.) . In the states , all or most of the various Cramps imports of the 80's and 90's were readily available , sometimes at about domestic prices , and , sometimes , even less ( I found two copies of the Kizmiaz 12" , on red and blue vinyl , for $1.50 apiece , shortly after they came out.). Of couse , Gravest Hits , the first two LPs, and Smell of Female were available here as domestic releases , then , their output was largely leased to British and French LPs , though the band reactivated their own Vengeance label , got back with Enigma , and were even briefly on Epitaph (I need a scorecard.). But , God love Big Beat , man. Especially Alec Palao. He's going to TOWN , as you well know. Fine as wine deluxe CD packages on The Seeds , Music Machine , Wayne Cochran and then some.

I MEANT TO SAY "Leased to British and French labels.".

''Blues Fix" was on Big Beat...It's a no - brainer . And , I'm the no - brainer telling you so.

I think I found it at Tower Records , but , I never saw it , not even used , after that. 

No worries bud.
