It had to happen at some point. Kogar the Swinging Ape is hanging up his Lux and Ivy's Favorites series of mixes, ending it with volume 17, a thirty two song set of old rock 'n' roll, rockabilly, doo-wop and such. For the uninitiated, the series included songs the Cramps covered, songs Lux and Ivy mentioned at one time or another as favorites, and songs they included on mixes for friends. If you're at all familiar with the Cramps (and you had better be), you know the type of stuff.
Too his credit, Kogar has made these available for free and has encouraged the sharing of them. Considering the amount of effort tracking down seventeen volumes of songs referenced, and then sharing all of his hard work without any compensation whatsoever, it's pretty remarkable that he stuck to it as long as he has.
This last mix comes without a song list, to thwart bootleggers that have been selling the mixes as their own compilations. (Mixes 1-16 do have song lists.) Regardless, it's all good stuff. There's a few Cramps things down there too, for the lazy bones who don't hassle with mixes.
