    umm...this pic sleeve kinda rules.


    big 60's garage head over here. Can't think of anything new I've
    picked up lately, but pickwick33 and I did hijack THIS PAGE with a discussion
    of The Five Americans, a band that looks suspect but has one really
    rockin' album and some other good but more pop stuff.

    And if you are digging the Back from the Grave series, check
    out the Teenage Shutdown comps, which have excellent sound quality
    and well-themed track selections. Sundazed just started a new vinyl comp
    series, Garage Beat '66, that has alot of material previously covered on Nuggets
    and Pebbles but with cleaned-up sound. These I haven't checked out yet myself,
    but I can vouch for the quality of the Teenage Shutdown series .

    Here's some of my recent garage 45 purchases that are definitely worth tracking down not only 'cos they're raw and rocking but also 'cos they're great club tracks with killer grooves:

    Leather Boy: On The Go / Soulin'
    49th Parallel: Laborer/You Do Things
    The Innovation: I Can Make It Without You
    The Lords: Rain Dream
    Five By Five: Hang Up
    Kit & The Outlaws: Don't Tread on Me
    Sorrows: Giallo, Rosso, Verde E Blu / No No No No
    Climax: You... I (yes, a cover of the Rugby's tune)

    And this cool LP
    The Petards: A Deeper Blue LP

    Shout out for my man Tony The Tyger's compilations. I'm not sure if he's still doing the FUZZ FLAYKES & SHAKES series, but he always has some great homemade CDRs with color covers whenever I've DJ'd an event with him. If you wanna know what's getting play on the 60s/mod/garage/psych club scene around the world, he usually has some biggies (or soon-to-be biggies) included on CDRs like these:

    Love the Leather Boy 45 and Kit & The Outlaws is mandatory D/FW garage fare, what label did you score??

    In the useless info category......The keyboard player from Five By Five used to deal records and set up at the Dallas show all the time in the 80's

    I have a few singles by 5x5 and they are all excellent.
    15 Going On 20/Penthouse Pauper is probably my fave, with
    both sides coming pretty tough and the A side a raunchy delight.
    Still haven't landed the LP, though.

    Zakary Thaks. Their first single is the single most corrosive slab of wax ever to issue from Texas. A fifteen-year-old singer!

    The Spades "You're Gonna Miss Me" b/w "We Sell Soul" is the embodiment of Texas Garage Music and is as raw and perfect as any other record released in 1965, anywhere.

    - Sam the Sham & the Pharaohs

    - Lollipop Shoppe's "You Must Be A Witch"

    Whatchooknowaboutthat?



    You want the real deal? These knuckleheads actually pressed their own vinyl fer Chissakes! Dead Moon kept it realer than real, and I assume still are. Killer live show, too.

    54-40 or FIGHT!

    Cosign on this.

    As far as LPs, though, I love the Sonics, Shadows of Knight, the Elevators, the Bachs, Index, the Wailers, and so many others in this thread... but as much as I love those all, I think this album may be the greatest single American "garage" LP--at least, it's certainly my favorite:

    49th Parallel: Laborer/You Do Things
    Alberta's finest! I like the "Citizen Freak" 45 best.

    The Lords: Rain Dream
    There's too many groups called the lords Here is a great garage 45 by a group called "The Lords" from edmonton I recently picked up.

    The Lords - Savin'

    I'm not a garage head (I really like it, just not a genre I'm an expert in), but there are a few great garage 45s made in Edmonton. Specifically by the group "King Beezz" which I've been trying to track down to no avail.

    And that Monk's LP is fucking wild.

    Great CD - their version of 'Neighbor, Neighbor' is sick.

    I spent most of the 80's collecting garage punk 45s.
    I still grab interesting stuff when I find it.

    "You must be a witch" is one of the best Sixties songs I've ever heard. Sounds like it was recorded in the 80s or something.

    Birdman9, can you elaborate a bit more on yr other references above?

    Fred Cole from Lollipop Shoppe went on to form Dead Moon with his wife Toody and their drummer Andrew.

    One of the best(still)live garage bands you can see...not an artifact or 'retro' group, they are the real deal Holyfield. Guitar, bass and drums, no frills, no gimmicks and no attitude or irony. I have seen 'em live a bunch of times, but own no recordings(cept on a cassette a friend made me)....I need to rectify that.

    Fred and Toody had a vinyl press for a while and Tombstone Records pressed and released their own and like minded bands in the Pacific Northwest.

    One of a kind.

    I've seen three pressings of this one.....2 on Black Knight with one listing the band as The Outlaws and the other Kit & The Outlaws and then the nationally distributed Philips press....believe it or not here in Texas the Philips press is the hardest to find.
