⚡ THE CRAMPS – VINTAGE EMERALD CITY CREW ALL ACCESS PASS ⚡
Original vintage Emerald City "CREW – access all areas" concert/backstage pass stamped CRAMPS.
This pass originates from the legendary Emerald City music venue in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, formerly the Latin Casino, and dates to the early Cramps era.
Research strongly suggests this pass is circa 1980. A documented Emerald City VIP pass used for Prince on February 14, 1980 features the same distinctive purple-and-cream Emerald City design. The Cramps performed at Emerald City the following evening, February 15, 1980.
Because no date is printed directly on this pass, the February 15, 1980 attribution is presented as historical research rather than a guaranteed exact event date.
