"Ultra Twist" comes off Flamejob, the Cramps' sixth studio album, released on Creation in October 1994 and cut at engineer Earle Mankey's Psychedelic Shack in Thousand Oaks, California. Lux Interior and Poison Ivy wrote it and produced it themselves, as they did the whole record, and the lineup is lean: Lux on vocals, Ivy on guitar, Slim Chance on bass and Harry Drumdini on drums. It's a dance-craze title in the grand garage tradition, and the band wring it for every drop of sleaze. A UK-only reissue of the album in 2003 went so far as to carry two versions of it.
