Talk about typecasting! Longtime psycho-horror rockers the Cramps celebrated a new association with Enigma Records by having a record-contract signing ceremony at Bela Lugosi’s grave in the Holy Cross Cemetery in Culver City. The band’s new album, due out at the end of January, is aptly titled “Stay Sick.” It features such classic Cramps fare as “Bikini Girls with Machine Guns,” “The Creature From the Black Leather Lagoon” and “Journey to the Center of a Girl.” . . . Bobby Z, best known as Prince’s longtime drummer in the Revolution, makes his solo debut at the end of January. . . . Dave Edmunds’ debut album for Capitol Records, “Closer to the Flame,” will be out Jan. 3. It features Edmunds originals (“King of Love”) as well as a John Hiatt-Al (NRBQ) Anderson tune called “I Got Your Number.” . . . And now for the Dumbest Name Change of the Week.
