Hey there kids!<br />
<br />
For this comp I had a mission. And that mission was to round up all the best tracks from <a href="https://www.discogs.com/label/522251-Fuzz-Flaykes-Shakes" target="_blank">Fuzz Flaykes & Shakes</a> by Tony the Tiger, and the good 'uns from <a href="https://www.discogs.com/label/606245-Sixties-Rebellion-CD-Edition?sort=title&sort_order=desc" target="_blank">Sixties Rebellion</a>.<br />
Now - Sixties Rebellion had already been looted, pillaged and ransacked when they made the <a href="https://www.discogs.com/label/396020-Teenage-Shutdown!">Teenage Shutdown</a> series. So I only found two or so tracks I wanted to use.<br />
I found more on Fuzz Flaykes & Shakes.<br />
<br />
The rest is some shit that just came in my path. I don't always remember where or when I stumble across the tracks that ends up on these comps.<br />
<br />
Almost all songs here rated a 5 or 6 on the <a href="http://webstore.ugly-things.com/teenbeat-mayhem-by-mike-markesich-p147.php" target="_blank">TeenBeat Mayhem</a> 10-point scale, most of them fairly judged. Some not.<br />
<br />
Oh, and this is vol. 35. Before The Dawn is vol. 36. But I posted Before The Dawn before this which was a mistake. Ah, the sweet confusion of European garage comps.<br />

Heavy drums and an undulating bass kicks off the set.<br />
High-end garage which seems to be aiming at the billboard.<br />
<br />
At the end of January 2017 it is priced at <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/ATTIC-SOUNDS-Shadows-Let-Us-Be-Young-U-S-7-Mike-Records-MK-4007-DJ-MD-Garage-/380814628436" target="_blank">$274.98</a> which is a little too steep, I think. But what do I know, I'm way too poor to afford to collect these gems.<br />
<a href="http://webstore.ugly-things.com/teenbeat-mayhem-by-mike-markesich-p147.php" target="_blank">TeenBeat Mayhem</a> tells us it is a "gtr-tamborine jangle-tuff voc" and hands it a 5 rating. Pretty accurate to me, though I might give a 6 instead. <a href="http://www.45cat.com/label/mike-us" target="_blank">Mike</a> released a handful more 45's, but nothing that I've heard.<br />

<i>"The Journey men were a five member band of Brunswick high school students. The band included Jim Kerns on lead guitar and vocals, Howard Cook on organ and vocals, Dale Seeds on bass and vocals, Ron MacMillan on guitar and vocals, and Bob Levandowski on drums. The band decided to take a trip down to Florida and while there, recorded an excellent teen garage 45 for the Tampa based Boss label."</i></div>

(Check out the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZgXG-LYqvRj9TYU_33hyAwdeat477ART" target="_blank">Flames</a> stunning back-catalog on this playlist).

<div style="text-align: center;">
Awesome downer mid-tempo ballad. Some sweet organ och smooth soothing strumming on the guitar. The flip is the slow yawnish stomp of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PtLBefLI5M" target="_blank"><i>Hey</i></a>.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Apolloes released two more 45s as Apolloes and two as the Swingin' Apolloes. The last of the Apolloes and the first Swingin' Apolloes 45s was the same 2 songs (may have been re-recorded) - the Blue-Cheer-meats-Beach-Boys version (not as cool as it sounds) <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaGUGkzDXLs" target="_blank"><i>Summertime Blues</i></a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJeMW4ZG3w4" target="_blank"><i>Slow Down</i></a> which features some "wigged out" and "groovy" and "far out" backwards guitar wizardry.<br />
The last 45 is the "dreamy psych gem" <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RASdEUrAfdk" target="_blank"><i>Chained & Bound</i></a>. Actually kinda cool popsyke.<br />
<br />
Anyhoo, this is rated 7 in TeenBeat Mayhem. I'd give it a 6. But it is a very strong 6.</div>

<b>FIRST CROW TO THE MOON - WE WALK THE RAIN</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<i>"..I don't care what you've done, I don't care where you've been.."</i><br />
<br />
This fucker is easily the strongest track on this set. To me the First Crow To The Moon is right up there with Human Expression and Dovers. Hm, maybe not. But almost. Here they atleast sound like a mix of them.<br />
<br />
Uhm no they really really really sound like the Zombies.<br />
<br />
The lyrics are pretty powerful stuff. Just check out these lines: <i>"I don't care who you are, I don't care what you've seen, no matter what they say they'll never ever come between <span style="font-size: xx-small;">(we walk the rain)</span> our <b>love</b>.."</i><br />
Get it? Our protagonist is hangin' out with a girl that has a real bad reputation but he don't give a fuck what she's been, or not been, up to. <i>"Their lies will never penetrate the kind of love I'm in". </i>That's some pretty heady teenage poetry right there!<br />
<br />
There's a story about the origins of the zany name First Crow To The Moon and the mostly accepted is that it was a misprint on their (sole) 45 and it should say "<i>Crew"</i> and not "<i>Crow"</i>.<br />
But I've also heard that they actually was named "First <i>Crow"..</i><br />
Whatever the truth, both a fuckin' stupid names.<br />
<br />
If you're new to the scene and haven't heard their (as I said, sole) 45 then check 'em out: the great classic <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wos1TazPcy4" target="_blank"><i>Spend You Life With Me</i></a> and the punkadelic fast-paced <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_5pfzKpWow" target="_blank"><i>Sun Lights Up The Shadows Of Your Mind</i></a>.<br />
<br />
We Walk The Rain sounds a little wonky due to some 90s dodgy mixing (a bit too clinic and in atrocious stereom, it is mixed from the master tapes I 'spose) but that can't take away any of the power from this potent moody punker.<br />

<b>OTHER FOUR - SEARCHING FOR MY LOVE</b><br />
<br />
<i>"..mysteries in my souls and worries on my mind.."</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br />
<u>A short summary</u><br />
<br />
<i>The Other Four were a San Diego garage band that released three singles in 1965 and 1966, the last of them appearing on the Decca label. Most of the group had played in the Man-Dells who put out an unimpressive single in the winter of 1964/1965. The Other Four's 45s were better but still rather unexceptional efforts that were pretty typical of what countless other bands in the United States were doing at the time. The singles varied between standard pop/rock garage; a more slickly produced harmony pop/rocker ("These Are the Words"); a tune with a folk-rockish riff that sounded a bit like the Monkees at their hardest-rocking ("Once and for All Girl"); a pointless cover of Kenny Dino's 1961 hit "Your Ma Said You Cried in Your Sleep Last Night"; and a daintily arranged tune ("How Do You Tell a Girl") that was a little reminiscent of the mid-'60s Beach Boys' productions, though of course not remotely in the same league. Members Rick Randle and Norman Lombardo later played together (and were the songwriters for) the Brain Police, a San Diego psychedelic group that recorded an obscure demo album in 1968. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<b>Richie Underberger</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
Richie is right on the money. The other two songs by the band that are ok are <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Bhr2X2C-6o" target="_blank"><i>Why?</i></a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFrAyTLcB8g" target="_blank"><i>Once And For All Girl</i></a>, but I do find the Yardbird-sy <i>Searching For My Love</i> sweet as hell.<br />
Real nice moody garage pop.<br />
<br />
Rated 5 in TBM and now also by me.<br />

<i><br /></i>
Checkmates from Texas released 2 45s on the <a href="http://www.45cat.com/label/ruff" target="_blank">Ruff</a> label, a cool label that also put out the fuzz-powered uptempo <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJKm7O-bPTw" target="_blank"><i>Please Come Back</i></a> by <b>Yall's</b> and the highly original rhumbadelic punk of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGhNbOlSpiA" target="_blank"><i>That's The Way My Love Is</i></a> by the <b>Trolls</b> not to mention sunny psychedelic swinger <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swV_qLt3dWs" target="_blank"><i>Walking In The Queens Garden</i></a> by the US version of <b>Them</b>.<br />

Solid mersey-esque with excellent playing all through. And an anguished scream at 1:10.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The lyrics are of the, what shall I say, <i>spartan</i> kind. I've heard wordier pieces by the Ramones.<br />
<br />
Also, there's this crazy reverb on it. It's like the singer is sitting in a slightly different dimension.<br />
That reverb could be something that was laying around in the studio since Noblemen's labelmates the Incrowd also got some crazy reverb on their chaotic <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yBFhIlmNuA"><i>Set Me Free</i></a>.<br />

<br />
TBM and me agree rating this with 6 out of 10<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This tune is so darn sweet, man.. fantastic piano in the background lends a slightly haunted-house feel, and the exquisite guitar solo flies like a lonely strand in the wind. The singer seems to be in a never-ending-alice-in-wonderland-slow-fall kind of a state of mind.<br />
Very druggy, really. I've said it before and I'll say it again. A lot of these old pre-psychedelic ballads can possess some very potent qualities.<br />
<br />
TBM rates it a 5 but to me this is at least a seven. One of the most impressive tracks on this set.<br />

Absolutely incredible one-of-a-kind moody garage. This is rated 5 too - way too low! Just as <b>Eye Zoom</b>'s <i>She's Gone</i> it has something special about it, something that makes it transcends your usual moody garage ballad. Just check the spoken words on the outro.<br />
<br />
The flip is a very loony version of Heartbreak Hill.<br />

Urgh, this might be my last comp - it's getting harder and harder to make good comps. And this is kinda stinky. (I actually have a semi-cool comp coming up so hold the fort!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh and on this I made a classic blunder - I jumped one volume: the <a href="http://sixtiesgaragepunk.blogspot.se/2016/05/love-comes-love-goes.html">last one I did</a> was vol. 34 and now this is vol. 36! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know atleast two other series that made the same mistake; Sixties Rebellion (#13) and Psychedelic Unknowns (#10).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I would rate this set 6 on a ten-scale. But I <i>did</i> put in a lot of time to get a good flow, and all these songs are cherry-picked, and I <i>have</i> listened to it, thinking it was kinda nice.<br />

<a href="http://webstore.ugly-things.com/teenbeat-mayhem-by-mike-markesich-p147.php">TBM</a> rates I Said No as a seven (7). The EPIC flip <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LSmOp4sslA">Rivers Of Hate</a> gets a six (6).<br />
If you have heard the flip you know how stupifyingly good it is, and if you haven't heard I Said No you might be excited to what you will hear.<br />
I can tell you right now that I don't think it is nearly as good. Not on the same planet.<br />
It is a somewhat pedestrian but cool folkrock jangler and serves as the poppy side of the 45. It is 2 years behind its times, Byrds did this in 1965, but hey - who cares nowadays.<br />
At 1:25 a very crude Byrdsy solo emerges and you face will shine up.<br />

Some swingin' mersey-esque beat meets standard American rock'n'roll.<br />
It don't matter how much pop there is in the mix, when you pour it on a bunch of 60s kids from the states it always ends up rockin and a-rollin'. Beatles couldn't play rock'n'roll like this to save their life.<br />
That said, this is pretty bland rock'n'roll. But I thought you might want to hear it.<br />

Wanna see what TBM wrote about this? <i>"moody org-riff unison voc swinger"</i> and rated it a 6. I think that is fair. A so-so effort and the better side of the 45.<br />
It is also one of the cheapest singles on this comp, on popsike it fluctuates from 50 to 100 bucks<br />
In December of '68 they the released their second and last 45. A drum-thumping acid-punk monster with nails-on-blackboard fuzz. The flip to that supposedly sucks.<br />

This is the kind of song that most of the time is kinda "meh" but if you play at the right place at the right time the whole room lights up and you can smell roses in the distance and everything falls into place. Those songs are far and apart so give this more than one spin.<br />

I picked these 16 songs from about 50-60 tracks I had piled together for this volume.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It took me ages to complete and I'm still not happy with it. Mostly because most of the songs are ripped from scratchy sources and fizzles and pops and what with the surface noise and such.<br />
<br />
But if you were OK with <a href="https://sixtiesgaragepunk.blogspot.se/2016/04/return-of-walrus.html">Return Of The Walrus</a> you should be OK with this.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I see this volume as the third in a trilogy that started with <a href="http://sixtiesgaragepunk.blogspot.se/2016/04/you-take-me-for-rides.html">You Take Me For Rides</a> and Walrus being the second.<br />
<br />
And this set is a <i>grower. </i>I've been listening to it a lot, and all the songs benefits from repeated listening.<br />
As I have stated many times before: just like psychedelia, moody garage needs a good setting. You need to let it breath. You need to invite it into your home, and you need that home to ready for all the moody gloom and doomy despair..<br />
You can't just yank it out, slap it on and go about your day.<br />
Think of it as an occasion.<br />
<br />
Because this set is super-depressing. If you are into that kinda stuff you will be happy. Happy-sad.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So get some napkins, pour yourself a big glass of your poison of choice, close the door, shut the blinds, curl up in a fetal position and hit that play button. And get ready to cry..<br />

The flip to the insane She Gives Me Time! Fan-duckin-tastic downer grinder. I has a little Heart Full Of Soul about it. So fucken cool. I heard this for the first time ever just a month ago!<br />
It was for a long time a very hard 45 to track down - I think the flip She Gives Me Time that appears on Back From The Grave was mastered from an old mixtape.<br />
I don't know how many there is in existence but the last I heard was 1 confirmed beat-up copy and maybe two more. Actually I think the rip on this is not from the beat-up cooy so there should be at least two copies..<br />
But don't ever take my word for anything, ever. K? K..<br />

Believe it or not, but these guys could very well have bumped into The Psychedelic Stooges since both resided in Ann Arbor, Michigan and performed in 1967.<br />
And even if there's no vacuum cleaner on this 45 (The Ig used to play one in '67), it is still a stark performance. It feels very Michigan-y. Great chorus.<br />
The flip <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzlaxWVn2KI">She's Gone Far Away</a> is great too.<br />

This was not the only cool song released 45 by the Palace Guards. The <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qp575ziHqkU">flip</a> is equally cool and I suspect you've already heard <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XV9ylCfwbXU">No Comin' Back</a>.<br />
All in all they released 4 singles from 66 to 69.<br />

Awesome kiddie-garage featuring the most precocious lyrics I've ever heard. I wouldn't be surprised if it was his dad who wrote the lyrics, probably with the kids mom in mind without the kid knowing it. Fantastically ironic if that was the case. One can only hope.<br />

Not too shabby <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qex0nokgUhs">flip</a> on this, but Why is whadditz all about. I feel a Byrds-y influence, especially in the bass-department and the guit-solo. But I don't know.<br />
I have to say that it feels a little, just a tiny bit, ahead of its time - this is 1965 and they still sound soo soo bitter and cynical.<br />

Return Of The Walrus<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Ok, get up and get ready to get down with the latest installment of.. yeah, what is this series called?<br />
Rip Records? Kill R'n'R? Sixties Garage Punk? Or just nothing maybe.<br />
<br />
TRIGGER WARNING!<br />
If you can't stand ultra-crude shit-fi, then stay clear.<br />
This is not for the squeamish.<br />
These bad puppies has been weeded out from their better-sounding siblings just because the fantastic qualities in the music gets lost if it stands too close to something better produced/recorded/pressed or whatever.<br />
Well not everything sounds like Captain Dueseldorph (featured here).<br />
It depends on your preferences, I 'spose.<br />
Anyhoo, this has led to me having to lower the over-all volume. Don't ask me why. Just crank up that knob. Oh, and crank up the volume too.<br />
<br />
I pulled a lot of stuff from Crude PA Vol. 1 (won't be revamping it anyhow) and Oil Stains Vol. 1 (won't revamp that one either).<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Marauders - Just Times Between Us</b><br />
<br />
<i>"Remember that summer.."</i><br />
<br />
Marauders kicks off this set with some bizarre driving up-tempo super-twangy surf ballad.<br />
This is a pretty wicked 45, the flip is graced by the just-as-crude but even more bad-ass Warning (find it on the excellent Garage Punk Unknowns Vol. 8.)<br />
<br />
The songs starts a little wobbly and dry and uhm, "dramatic" - ploinkploinploink - and then makes itself known to everybody in the room. Oh and the lead-guitar twangs itself into a frenzy, the guitarist is battling his instrument like it was a boa constrictor.<br />
Things get a little hairy (at 2:40 to be exact) when he ventures from the original hook and start to solo a bit. Feels like watching an untrained baby giraffe walking a tightrope over the niagara waterfalls with no safety-net.<br />
But after some serious nail-gnawing you see him reach the safety of the other side of the song.<br />
No one died today.<br />

<i>Heads 9518</i><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Intrepids - Run From The Sun</b><br />
<br />
<i>"...into the darkness of guilt and shame"</i><br />
<br />
Some pretty bitter stuff being served here by the Intrepids.<br />
Throaty singer, spindy organ, yammering choir and an overall well-played tracks.<br />
The singer pretty much blasts his cheating and abusive girl for three minutes and then he's out.<br />
<br />
<u>Says <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RtpAePV_C8" target="_blank">Bolt:</a></u><br />
Associated Recording Studios acetate - PA/NY 196?. Fantastic unreleased demo cut from a band allegedly from PA but recorded in New York in the famous Associated Recording Studios.<br />
<br />
<i>(Meanville, PA?) '6?<br />unreleased demo</i><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Faces In The Crowd - Clouds Of Doubt</b><br />
<br />
<i>"You might have won if you stuck it out.."</i><br />
<br />
This song makes me smirk. One gets the feeling that the singer's father has had some wise words to tell his son, who in turn have been so touched and inspired that he wrote a small poem and a folky ditty of his newly acquired wisdom.<br />
But it is very sincere and almost sad.<br />
Like the singer missed the inspiring point of the talk, and just took it as an <i>"i'm fucked"</i> and ran with it.<br />
<br />
Apparently came in a picture sleeve which I haven't seen.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>Savages - Quiet Town</b><br />
<br />
<i>"they say it's bad but we all know, it's the place were we can go at night.."</i><br />
<br />
Real spooky bit here presented by the incomparable Savages (of The World Ain't Round fame).<br />
I'm not going to dwell on this classic group too long.<br />
But if you didn't know - Savages released an album in 1966 and three 45s (all great and pulled from the album).<br />
Now - this was recorded in 1965, but can you hear the psychedelic qualities?<br />
Or "cinematic" might be a better choice of word.<br />
Because when I listen to this song, I silently float together with them, slowly observing the surrounding in the quiet town.<br />
I feel like we are unknowingly dead ghosts drifting into this misty place all while its citizens shuts the windows and bar the doors.<br />
<br />
<i>(Bermuda) '65</i><br />
<i>Duane 1049</i><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Blues Inc. - Tell Me Girl</b><br />
<br />
<i>"tell me babe, do you care..?"</i><br />
<br />
A soft-spoken organ-driven ballad with a slight taste of Zombies. The singer must have shut himself inside a closet and curled up in a blanket.<br />
<br />
<i>(Fort Wayne, IN) Oct '66</i><br />
<i>Phalanx 1026</i><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Half Beats - Should I</b><br />
<br />
<i>"no more will I wait for you, no more will I cry for you.."</i><br />
<br />
A pretty nasty folk-rocky girl put-down with some glorious falsetto voices in the background, underlining the hopelessness in our protagonists situation.<br />
He doesn't even sound sad, he's more sarcastic and fantastically bitter.<br />
No saccarine here it is just plain wicked. The raw power of the song still holds water since <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoxtoIhQ2qQ" target="_blank">Cheater Slicks</a> covered this in 1995.<br />
But they still don't find the biting sarcasm the original singer harbored.<br />
And how could they? True teenage angst is inimitable.<br />
<br />
<i>(Chicago, IL) 1966</i><br />
<i>International Recording Co. acetate</i><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Shan Dels - Please Stay</b><br />
<br />
<i>"that's all I've left to say.."</i><br />
<br />
English is not my main language - as you might've guessed by now..<br />
So I'm not sure but it sounds like the singer is trying to sound like he's from London or something.<br />
<br />
Anywayz, Shandels recorded a bunch of so-so 45s - 4 of 'em - from '65 to '67.<br />
They later morphed into Dry Well and recorded another 45 in '68 (find it on Relative Distance - hm, I might just revamp that..)<br />
<br />
This was their first 45 and features the wonderful instrument cordovox. There not enough cordovox in sixties garage punk. You can get more of that medicine on their third 45 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRCpjXu2rc8" target="_blank">Shades Of Blue</a> found on Nobody To Love on the excellent Teenage Shutdown series.<br />
<br />
<i>(Long Island, NY) '65</i><br />

<br />
<br />
<b>Thorns - This Is The End</b><br />
<br />
<i>"I'll die without your love, to me this is the end.."</i><br />
<br />
Do you remember Thorns <i>INSANE</i> I want you from <a href="http://sixtiesgaragepunk.blogspot.se/2013/08/the-dead-and-forgotten.html" target="_blank">The Dead And Forgotten</a>?<br />
Well, here's the (almost equally tense) flip.<br />
I feel a strong surge of Zombies here too. A fantastic song and a fantastic acetate 45.<br />
<br />
<i>(Philadelphia, PA)</i><br />
<i>Sound Plus Studios acetate</i><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Strawberry Tuesday - Return Of The Walrus</b><br />
<br />
<i>"I'm gonna get it, I'm gonna get it.."</i><br />
<br />
Let's get stupid and get ourselves a fuckin walrus.<br />
I feel this has a strong kinship to Mr. Zeppelin Man and (We All Love) Peanut Butter.<br />
You can hear the snickering during the guitar solo so I'm not sure they're 100% serious with this tall tale.<br />
But that does not matter one second, the only thing that matters is that this is epic supreme and you will probably hear it anytime soon at the in-crowd bar.<br />
I don't think Strawberry Tuesday reached further from the stars since they pretty much disappeared after this. It was released on a LP sampler called Reading 1968. I haven't heard that album, but if it sounds anywhere near this masterpiece, I must seek it down.<br />
<br />
<i>(Reading, PA) '68</i><br />
<i>Empire Records WWR 868-586</i><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Bright Image - People In The Town</b><br />
<br />
<i>"it's been so many, so many years have passed...."</i><br />
<br />
Poor kid. Woman gone, he don't know where, people stare him down and constantly asks him where the heck she's gone. Sadists.<br />
Jangly folk-rocker with some of the best use of wah-wah I've ever heard.<br />
<br />
<i>(Philadelphia, PA) Mar '70</i><br />
<i>Amigo 114</i><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Starfyres - Captain Dueseldorph</b><br />
<br />
"<i>if you're ever down by the sea, take a look for me and Captain Dueseldorph.."</i><br />
<br />
Get ready for some fizzling garage sounds!<br />
C'mon, surely you must know this? One of my absolute faves - ever!<br />
It wiggles, it wobbles, it makes you feel completely drunk outta your mind.<br />
Of course - the shit-fi allure in this comes on like greek mythology sirens but that's not all.<br />
It's heavy as FUCK, filled to the brim with atmosphere and even if the instruments are slightly out of tune, every note hits just where it's supposed to.<br />
And it's not in your face. It is <i>there</i> - if you're lookning - but it mostly just floats in and out of the surface of reality like a submarine.<br />
The flip is the hot punk No Room For Your Love, and you can find it <a href="http://sixtiesgaragepunk.blogspot.se/2013/08/sixties-raw-garage.html" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
<i>(Lansford, PA) '67</i><br />
<i>Burr 1001</i><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Invictas - Do It</b><br />
<br />
<i>"i can't see we could ever be together even though you mean a lot to me.."</i><br />
<br />
I don't know why I added the "a go-go" suffix, but accidents happen. I try to be as thorough as I can, but sometimes I fuck up. Which gives me greater understand for mis-info on old comps, and greater appreciation for the work Warren & co put behind his/theirs contributions to this comp-scene.<br />
They really set the standard high.<br />
<br />
Invictas released four fratty 45s (three on the Sahara label, and one PS on Bengel) from '65 to '67 and then fizzled away somewhere. Who knows where.<br />
<br />
A really hard-rockin' soulful rocker with a glorious hook.<br />
Love the ending.<br />
<br />
<i>(Rochester, NY) Jan '66</i><br />
<i>Sahara 110</i><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Lost Ones - I Can't Believe You</b><br />
<br />
<i>"you always told lies, brought the water from my eyes.."</i><br />
<br />
The Lost Ones makes sure the party don't stop with this ultra-crude pounder. Awesome drummer who probably played at the college marching band.<br />
<br />
You can hear some dude callin some "oh no" and some "awww" and some "oh yeah" in the background.<br />
Ace guitar solo.<br />
(the back cover says "i <i>don't</i> believe you" - fuck!)<br />
<br />
<i>(Sarver-Butler, PA) '66</i><br />
<i>Mersey 002</i><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Insane - I Can't Prove It</b><br />
<br />
<i>"I love you girl.."</i><br />
<br />
Insane puts this set in yet a higher gear and rush in on the scene with some more pounding drums and wailing guitars and just rocks out for a full three and a half minutes. A lot a soloing and tomfoolery which must've been a hoot to dance to at the local hop. <br />
<br />
<i>(Terryville?, CT) Jul '67</i><br />
<i>Alien Associates 201, 347</i><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Them - A Girl Like You</b><br />
<br />
<i>"with a love like ours we can turn our backs on the people, and the rules"</i><br />
<br />
This is one of those songs that must have existed forever in the dna of the universe.<br />
Everything is just perfect.<br />
Pure perfection.<br />
I can't write anything more about it.<br />
Flawless.<br />
Argh, such a romantic juvenile delinquent winner.<br />
Ugh..<br />
<br />
<i>(Cincinnati, OH) Dec '64</i><br />

<br />
<br />
<b>Immigrants - 225 Blues</b><br />
<br />
<i>"here's my hand, dear</i><br />
<i>I'm giving you my final adieu.."</i><br />
<br />
Immigrants were a bunch of kids from various places around NY who went to collage in Kansas.<br />
They recorded an album full with not-too inspired covers, but this one is a downer <i>bomb</i>.<br />
225 Blues sounds like Rolling Stones circa '64 played on too low rpm.<br />
And that is fantastic, one of my faves on this set.<br />

Great PS on this and an awesome way to kick of fthis (long overdue) set of songs.<br />
Definately a grower, I just happened to have it in a playlist and it soon crept under my skin.<br />
At first it was pretty 'meh' in my ears, but it is really a nifty little mersey-esque ditty.<br />
<br />
Fabulous Rumbles released one more 45 in 1966 then lost the "fabulous" and just went with "Rumbles" and released 2 more 45's on Mercury in 1966 and 1967.</div>

Try-Angle stops a little short from releasing a 2-sided killer, because even if both sides are epic in their own right, they just don't quite soar the hights of Dovers, Squires and Es Shades.<br />
Still - that is why I like it.<br />
This rickety trolley is just rolling down the street with a dejected hollow sound without wanting to get too much attention.<br />
<br />
Now, that is true downer garage right there!<br />

I could talk endlessly about this track and its hauntingly crude-ee-ful cinematic qualities but I will settle with just pointing the way to when the singer dances thru the moonlit misty graveyard, hopping from headstone to headstone singing "I don't wanna love you.." in his most romantic falsetto.<br />

Vandals put out 3 solid 45's (their second featured I Saw Her In A Mustang, which is supreme raunchness), this being their first. Mystery was released again on the Tiara label (which also put out Melvin by Belles) but in another version.<br />
Pretty solid production, I must say. Atleast more solid than the relationship between the singer and his girlfriend because my friend - that mystery you can't figure out seems pretty easy to solve.<br />

Sweet jeezuzz! What heavy moods! What dark thoughts!<br />

Pushin' is totally off the charts when it comes to their sound. This is from the heady days of heavy rock, glitzy glam, rising disco and ramalama New York Dolls/Iggy & the Stooges proto-punk fests where Ramones are waiting in the wings in steamy backstages oh, and cocaine and heroin and tits and ass and all that jazz..<br />
But Pushin' is content with the soft and clunky sounds they make themselves without too much noise and neon lights and fast drugs.<br />
You can HEAR that this isn't from 1966 but man, the song sounds it is coming straight out of a sixties New England garage.<br />

Not as late as <b>Pushin'</b>, but pretty late anyway, Blue Condition was a good 3 years past their time on this romantic ballad. Which is cool in my book. Which means they probably weren't dirty filthy hippies. Which is pretty cool too.<br />
The flip to this is an insane slab of acid punk that probably renders this 45 costing top dollars and an arm and a leg.<br />
That is, if you ever find it. I don't think there are too many in existence. Like, one. And I don't think the owner is about to sell it anytime soon.<br />

Let me first say that I feel that my comps are getting weaker. I think the first 20 got most of the creme de la creme. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Nevertheless, this is just fun'n'games - who cares if you've already heard it!?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Vigilantes </b>gets to start this new set. We get fuzz, sax, organ, bubbly bass, hellavalot of the ride-cymbal and a rowdy solo on the geetaar.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yeah we notice ya, awrite already!</div>

I don't know what ya'll think about <i>Thinkin' About You</i> but it happens to be on my Top 50 list of my fave garage punkers. This is pretty much how I like my garage - cool, suave and not too obscured by fuzz. That is also how I like my.. cats.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A+ for the drums. And the tambourine. And the cool-beyond-belief git. And the hoarse teenster vox.</div>

More of the same but twice as fast with <b>Sound Track </b>and their spastic <i>I See The Light</i>. </div>

All songs I've ever heard called 'Revenge' has been excellent. <b>Society of Sounds</b> <i>Revenge</i> is also ultra-nice. Hmm and I don't know why they called themselves SoS on this since it is listed as a 45 by <b>Castaways Five</b> in <a href="http://webstore.ugly-things.com/teenbeat-mayhem-by-mike-markesich-p147.php">Teenbeat Mayhem</a> (an excellent book where I lifted all info - thanx MTM!)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But baby... 30 SECONDS IN! <b>POOOOOOWWWW!!!</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Crazy smattering drums pepper the song into garageland.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Wait a minute and the fuzziest Bryan Gregory-esque git solos you've ever heard shall punish your starved ears for almost a full minute. EPIC!!</div>

Cool tremolo and fuzz, funky drums and organ and shit. You know the drill.</div>

OK - I made an artistic risk here. All might not enjoy the hazy <i>Honeymoon Tree</i>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But I love the involuntary druggy feel and that crazy maracas and cheesy lyrics.</div>

Thanks for all the kind words - they really make me happy!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Welcome to the 28th set and yet another downer/loser bunch of tunes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We start out with a classic - <i>I Can Go On</i> by <b>Riots</b>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I Can Go On is spooky and moody, slightly sounding like the Animals on a bad day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Great guitar and harmonies.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Illusions</b> is not as primitive-sounding but a bit more mersey-ish. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Her Own Way</i> is a total loser ballad. From Feb '66.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>You Let Me Down</i> is soopah-spooky and bad vibes all the way. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Oncomers</b> 45 are from 1967.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Shadow Casters </b>dishes out this ditty riddled with hippy-dippy imagery and Byrdsy harmonies and some "baaa-bopbopbop-baa-baa" in the end.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Kick ass solo. April '68.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Same Old Worries</i>. Aaah, I love this track. Also Byrdsy in its harmonies but that don't matter.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Incredible stuff. <b>Reasons Why</b> released three 45's (I think) and the one before this one has Tell Her One More Time on it and you can find it here:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://sixtiesgaragepunk.blogspot.se/2013/09/ive-seen-darker-nights.html">http://sixtiesgaragepunk.blogspot.se/2013/09/ive-seen-darker-nights.html</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Members</b> are hellbent on surviving the breakup. They won't sigh, they won't cry and they won't die.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Instead, they'll get by. Without her. From April 1966.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Another classic, this time served by <b>Best Things</b> and their epic <i>You May See Me Cry</i>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Best Things was really the <b>Madhatters</b>. I don't know why they reissued the 45 as Best things.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The flip is <i>Chick Are For Kids</i>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Morning After </b>released this jangling lament in 1967. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The guy in the song is getting a total teen-boner while he thinks of thing his girl does.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What a one-track mind. Funny he makes it sound so romantic.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>You Know I Do</i> by <b>Crucibles</b> is also a super-classic. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The song is galloping away then halts at the solo only to gallop away again chased by crashing drums and twangy guitars.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
More loser garage! <i>The Only Girl I Love</i> is not too refined, and we like that don't we. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
From August 1967.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"<i>Aaaw, giddit now!</i>"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Landlords </b>try to calm things down again. They totally succeed with <i>I'll Return</i>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The flip is called <i>I'm Through With You</i> and is a pretty nice ballad too!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
MOVE OVER, LANDLORDS! Heeeere's <b>Barry Ebling & the Invaders </b>huffing n puffin the house down with the raw power of FUZZ alone.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Semi-fruity chorus, but they totally make up for it with fuxxxx and a baaaad attitude.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
From Mars 1967.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Aren't we done with fuzz and primitive beats? NOOO!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Wild Things</b> need to punish us first. <i>Tell Me </i>gots organ, gots fuzz, gots attitude. Gots it OHN!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
From 1967.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Converts</b> is so funny.. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They're all "<i>Don't leave me girl!</i>" first, and then is all "<i>there's fat chance baby that you'll ever get another man</i>" and tops it off with the classy line "<i>because you're not so hot!</i>"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next out is <b>Cavemen</b> (not the It's Trash-bunch) and their <i>Sandy</i> is a one-mic-hangin-in the-roof and is primitive, awesome, supercool and the best fukkin song on this set!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last out is another classic - <b>Intruders</b> and their epic <i>I'll Go On</i>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Kick-ass chorus!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That was it this time. Thanks again for all the kind words. I will busy for a couple a weeks now so don't bother checkin in before mid august.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Much love!!!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Welcome back, and welcome newcomers! Be sure to spread the word so more people get hip to the cool sounds of 60s garage punk! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There is an OCEAN of mp3 comps out now - I know! Some of them is downright boring to sit thru.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My idea of making comps is to make them flow, and to use songs that haven't been repeated too many times and that garage aficionados might've forgotten about but also to give new listeners a chance to hear some old classics as well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This set is yet another bunch of moody loser tracks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But we start bongoing with the <b>Satisfactions</b>' spastic <i>Only Once</i>. A total winner.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After that we get treated to some patented garage fzzzzzz with the nutty <i>Wondering Why</i> by the <b>Royal Aircoach</b>. Dynamics man, dynamics!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then we fizzle in on <i>The World I've Planned</i> by the <b>Oxford Five</b>. Very funky drums.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Possums</b>' write an homage to all bullied loser kids out there in <i>King Of His World</i>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Barons</b>' <i>Tomorrow Never Ends</i> might sound pussyfooted at first but check the drummer driving that beat, check the singer and his inspired vocals and the cool way he counts off the song's last organ solo - "<i>ONE TIME, NOW!</i>"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm crazy about the singer in <b>Uncivilized</b> and the way he sounds like he's ready to break down in tears any second. And you have to love that spooky organ!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Only Ones</b>' Beatle-esque <i>Find A Way</i> has the most exquisite little guitar break that drives the final nail into the loser coffin. And don't miss the kick-ass bass! Syncopated and inventive!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>5 PM</b>'s <i>How Many Days</i> is a total classic - "<i>I call your name but you don't answer me no more</i>..".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I can totally relate. When I was a teen and got dumped, I remember calling my absent ex-girlfriend's name while lying in bed, with my head buried in a pillow. Yes I am not ashamed to admit it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Very tasty intro, and a very tasty little solo.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"<i>How many days must I wait for your love again, wait for your kissing' and your love again..</i>"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Oooooooh! STAND BACK! <b>Rollin' Ramsaxes</b> roll in on the scene with the thunderous and foreboding EPIC <i>You've Hurt Me So</i>!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Feel the rain! See the lightning! Hear the <i>thunder</i> of a heart breaking!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Another teen cheated on, another teen deadly wounded, another teen crying in his bedroom..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"<i>You hurt me so, but darling it won't show..</i>"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Bounty Hunters</b>' almost echo the emotional thunderstorm the Rollin' Ramsaxes just put us thru.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"<i>Ooooh, I try to smile for a while..</i>" </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>The Sun Went Away</i> is such a total moody song, it is incredible that they even can muster up some energy to play it. And check the spoken part! Cheese supreme!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"<i>Gee, I feel so all alone since my baby's gone. I don't know what to do, I try but I can't go on.</i>"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
More weather related sorrow with <b>Gaunga Dyns</b> <i>Clouds Won't Shine</i>. We also get treated to an abysmal fuzz solo and a very unfitting and strange ending to the song.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Sweet Love</i> is so adorable. Hope it's not to fruity for all my cool listeners. <b>Page Boys</b> kinda makes it up with their flip <i>All I Want</i> that can be found on <a href="http://sixtiesgaragepunk.blogspot.se/2013/08/the-dead-and-forgotten.html">The Dead And Forgotten</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Missing Links</b>' <i>Hang Around</i> has this desert wind feel to me. Yet another sad little organ painting the song black. Love the guitar by the way!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
YASSS! <b>CUTAWAYS</b>! This is one of my all time faves! Haha, this guy must be fresh out of some sour relationship cause he sounds sooo bitter! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"<i>You didn't treat me right, when we said goodnight, and you broke my heart, tore it all apart and I'll never <b>never</b> love someone again!</i>"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Super-bitter solo too!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Idols</b> step up on stage, a little shy and a little nervous. This track is so fukkin great man, I gotta tell ya! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The skeletal organ, the bunch of voices you hear littering the track - one in a manic falsetto - and a minute and 16 seconds in you hear the singer sounding like a whimpering kid in the line "<i>*sob* girl you see me crying (<b>whaa-aa-aa-aa!</b>) please don't leave me this way, that's how it is, I guess - when true love goes astray!</i>" </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
MAGIC!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Brother L Congregation</b> is not really sixties, is it? Nah, this Texan 45 is actually from 1970 and they released two cool singles. The flip to this is the <i>manic</i> acidpunker <i>Bringing Me Down </i>that can be found here: <a href="http://sixtiesgaragepunk.blogspot.se/2013/08/descend-into-madness.html">Descend Into Madness</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've always loved the suave <i>She's Gonna Lose That Boy</i> that is one part Beatles, one part Velvet Underground and one part Ramones-ballad.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"<i>Every now and then she goes away, she comes back the very next day - she's gonna lose that boy..</i>"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Enter cheesy solo.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That was that. I hope you liked this loser set. The next set will also be full of loser ballads, but I'll try and make the 30th set wild, crude and primitive!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Welcome back! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This set of songs is a little special - they were all in my file with 'rejected' tracks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ya see, when I put these comps together I try to sequence the set in a balanced way. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And these songs were weeded out. But then I put some of them on a set of their own.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And the emphasis is pop here. Poppy garage.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Of course, you have primal screamers like <b>Playgue</b>'s <i>I Gotta Be Goin'</i>, <b>Triumphs</b>' <i>Lovin' Cup</i>, <b>Bad Roads</b>' <i>Blue Girl</i>, <b>Cobras</b>' <i>Instant Heartache</i> and <b>Gents</b>' <i>If You Don't Come Back</i>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But you also get the bubbelgum folk-rock of <b>Art Guy</b>'s <i>Where You Gonna Go</i>, straight up pop beat like <b>WC Dorns</b>' <i>I Need You</i> and <b>Visions</b> <i>She's The Girl For Me</i>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You also find some manic uppity-uptempo ravers like <b>Quests</b>' <i>Shadows In The Night</i>, <b>Rob Roys</b>' <i>Do You Girl</i> and <b>High-Tensions'</b> <i>No Use Hangin' Around</i>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope you like this set!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Another set of cool crude and primitive garage trakks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I just love the first three tracks. Grumpy as hell.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And hey, just stand in <i>awe </i>before the moronic lyrics of <b>Chain Reaction</b>'s <i>G.Y.S.</i>! You want realism to the point of the absurd? You <i>got</i> it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Tell My Baby</i> by <b>Nightcaps</b> is soooo cool, man, I have no words. Just hot fukkin garage.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Jades</b>' <i>When Shadows Fall </i>seems pretty refined together with all other cretin tracks, but it is GODHEAD moody garage. Could've fitted on any <b>Psychedelic Unknowns</b> volumes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Don't Put Me On</i> by <b>King's Court </b>is yer usual stupid garage, but it is coolness.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Catsanovas</b>' <i>I Want To Be Loved </i>might be one of my absolute fave garage tracks. Listen to that hypnotic guitar! Check out the uncomfortable singer yelpin' his way thru the song as if he was singing at gunpoint. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Let's Move </i>by <b>Night Crawlers</b> is so stupidly suave it is just silly. They totally stole the Gloria-riff <i>AND</i> Empty Heart! THE <b>BALLS</b>!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We round this fine set with mood-overload - <b>Mojos</b>' <i>What She's Done To Me</i>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Help me, help me get away.." Wow, those evil women. They really do a number on ya when you're young. Good thing tho, since a lot of cool songs get written that way.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Spooky as hell and a perfect ending to a perfect set.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hey friends - I'm still flabbergasted you guys remembered me. Big thanks again!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Another cool thing is Mr. Warren's decision to release THREE (3!) new <b>Back From The Graves</b>!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That is crazy!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
While y'all waiting for that treat, why not give this moody comp a lizzen?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What have we heeree?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Cheques'</b> <i>To Stone</i> is pretty dramatic slice of uptempo balladry. Sweet solo on that organ.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Decompressed Impossibility </b>skeletal ballad is so forlorn is terrible. In a good way.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Oh and it should say <i>You Can't HIDE Away</i> an' nothin else. I mucked up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Gyro provided the excellent rip of <b>Taboos</b>' <i>All My Life</i>. Very moody and with a slightly psychedelic rave-up of some kind in the middle.</div>

Wow, had a hundred d-loads on a single day since I came back. I am humbled and in awe! Thanks for given a fuck - I love you too!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ok, let's get to getting kicks! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had this crazy idea.. to make a little mini-drama comp. So, this guy sees this chick walking by and she looks super-foxy and she does a little dance and he says "cmon baby, let this be real cause I don't wanna cry" and she's like "sure baby" but she's a firkin LIAR and totally mess this guy up! WHY? Dunno. The mysterious ways of foxy chicks, huh?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So he's like "whyyy, baby you liieeedd! And you lied to me befooore" and then he's like "hmpf, I still wan't that chick back since we used to laugh and stuff" but that just ain't gonna happen and he's like "fuck dat chick! I'm getting stoned!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last thing he sees before his stoned eyelids close shut is that very super-foxy chick walking by again.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Nice huh?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Riddled with classic garage classics. You've probably heard 'em all before.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

THIS motherfucker has been bitching since I started making it and the whole affair has been riddled with accidents, mishaps and minor catastrophies! Even the artwork!! I would like to say that I fucken HATE it but this is such a kick-ass set of songs that I can't.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There might be 2 or 3 songs I regret putting on it, but I guess these growling and crude fuckers just belong together.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We've come to my 20th comp and you'd think I'd be runnin' dry, and actually I am. Am I good for ten more comps? 20? Dunno. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But let's not think about that and just focus on the batch of moody and dramatic tracks included on this set.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We start out soft with pretty pop-ish with the first few tracks, but then we take a slow dive into the abyss of sorrow and despair. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My faves are <b>Reasons Why </b>and their acidulous <i>Tell Her One More Time</i>, <b>Mad Lads</b>' sombre <i>Everything Is Blue</i>, <b>Barons</b> bitter <i>Time And Time Again</i>, <b>Mystic Five</b>'s naïve genious chiming <i>It Doesn't Matter</i>, <b>Vistas</b>' adorable zombi-esque <i>Don't Know</i>, <b>Sounds Unlimited</b>'s desperate <i>Nobody But You </i>and finally <b>Facts Of Life</b>'s epic <i>I've Seen Darker Nights.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

More moody garage because <b>caveman78</b> asked for it. And I'm really satisfied with this set.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If I had to choose the song that stuck with me the most it'd be <i>It's So Hard</i> by the <b>Hucksters</b>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But all are really great moody garage from start to finish.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Oh yeah, <i>Ode To The Wind</i> (<b>Danny & the Counts</b>' flip to the garage classic <i>You Need Love</i>) is totally awesome too.</div>

No this ain't a themed disc - these tracks ain't unusually 'MAD'. I just needed to call the set something and 'Mad' always looks good in print.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
No most of these bad puppies are crude punkers and some moody stuff. So, business as usual.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The first 5 tracks are total all time faves of mine. Total killers. <u><i>ESPECIALLY</i></u> <b>4th Amendment</b>'s <i>Always Blue</i> which is superfucking genius.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Abstracts</b> <i>Always Always</i> was new to me - awesome uptempo punk!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Check out <i>If I Didn't Love You Girl</i> by <b>Travis Pike's Tea Party</b> - ARGHAHW!!! A solo to KILL for!! KILLER 68 punk!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We close with a swingin punker courtesy of <b>Modds</b> - <i>Don't Be Late</i>.</div>

Very satisfied with these covers, good thing since that <b>Prime Slime </b>almost put me totally off the whole 'make-yer-own-cover' scene.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not all songs featured are out-n-out garage MONSTERS like <b>Evil</b>, <b>Chosen Few</b> or <b>Cavemen </b>but it is solid kick-ass garage just the same. Just check out <b>Evil Enc. Group</b>, <b>Executioners</b> or <b>Rain</b> and say it's not life-ruiningly cool.</div>

This FUCKER has been riddled with mishaps, it has been done, redone and redone again. It took me forever to make the cover and I wasn't satisfied at all and the back just sucks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I dun know, it just pisses me off. It just felt like a half-assed - no - QUARTER-assed affair on my part.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Good this the songs rocks . I really don't wanna talk more about it since I get so aggravated..</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
PS</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The songs are not too well synced in volume, you fix that, I can't be bothered. Easily done in iTunes or what have you.. fuuuck..</div>
