  2. Thanks! I never tire of this 60s sound. It's kind of sad that this sound has not been accomplished very successfully after the 60s. There are plenty of neo-psych and modern garage rock bands, but they always have weaknesses. Mosly Billy Childish and his side bands are the ones who can still make this sound authentic. If you have a stash of modern stuff that sounds straight out of the 60s ( no wimpy vocals) it would make a great comp!

    1. That is a good idea, Unknown.
      One day it may appear (without wimpy vocals).
      Cheers.
