60's GARAGE

VA - Uptight Tonight, The Ultimate 60s Garage Collection [2005]

Uptight Tonight, The Ultimate 60s Garage Collection features those groups most closely associated with the genre, such as the Sonics, Seeds, Count Five and Music Machine. It adds bona-fide rip-roaring, one-shot gems from no-counts like the Wilde Knights, Castaways, Oxford Circle, Fe Fi Four Plus 2 and Electric Company. Additionally, there are a handful of genuine rarities, such as the extended version of the Moving Sidewalks' classic '99th Floor'. However, this is a package less for the collector than one aimed fair and square at the garage rock neophyte, or the punter who just needs one disc of pure adrenalin. The booklet is packed with facts and figures on these unsung heroes of high energy rock'n'roll, and the sound quality will be the best this material has ever sounded. (Big Beat)

Excellent compilation CD of Garage Band Punk/Psychedelia from the mid-sixties. Many of the nicely remastered tracks are from northern California - which was a hot bed of innovative, garage band music from 1963- 1968. Well-crafted liner notes with band member names, interesting details and numerous old PR photos. There are 26 tracks with attitude - check out the Yardbirds-like rave on Count Five's "Psychotic Reaction" Another winner is the youthful female rage on "Boy, What'll You Do Then" and the undulating bass and drums under feedback looped vocalizations on "Suzy Creamcheese"... very cool.
