They had a bass player on tour with them everytime I saw them from 2000 til Lux died in 07... He's even pictured on the last album. I guess there was a few years without in the 90s?Is that the Cramps(no bass player...)?

Cool rock n roll photos

That was one of the things that set them apart when they emerged circa ‘77 and on into the 80’s...no bass player(aside, of course, from essentially creating the ‘psychobilly’ subgenre). It was kinda weird, after all sorts of personnel changes, that they did relent and add a bass instead of second guitar. They lost a certain uniqueness.

I was goofing on that photo because, not only is there no bass, but there were times that Lux resembled Herman...
...original drummer Nick Knox, with his pompadour kinda had an Eddie thing going on...
...but The Damned's Dave Vanian really grabbed up the Lily look...
...but then again, so did original co-guitarist Bryan Gregory...

What you doing being up at that hour?
I’m just getting up to get ready to go to Nottingham to collect my amps before the traffic starts.
Setting off about 7.
had this poster on my wall when I lived at my parents house. Wish I had one now for my "man cave".
BnB
anyway good luck with the amps 
Not sure. But it's odd that the sleeve picture is clearly from '65 or '66, when the single came out in late '68 (the Beatles' look and sound having changed pretty significantly by then).
I'll have to take that picture to the barber with me and tell him to do this on me. Epic hairstyle!
