GARAGE ROCK

VA - Storm in the Garage [2003] (3 x CD's)

The "Storm in the Garage" box set is by Italian reissue label Akarma and give us the garage rock box set to salivate over. Any garage rock buff should be excited about this collection, though if you've been buying compilations like Garage Punk Unknowns or Psychedelic Unknowns, you may already have a lot of these bands, but there are a few unreleased and rare tracks to whet your curiosity like the unreleased track by The Damnation of Adam Blessing or the pounding cover of Arthur Lee and Love's 7 and 7 Is by The Soulbenders. An Italian import does seem like a strange way to pick up rare and obscure 1960's garage rock out of the USA, but it is nice having all of this great stuff in one place, plus their are picture sleeves of the single artwork when available and information on each band which seems to have been culled from the Borderline Books' Fuzz Acid & Flowers a great place to read about these bands. A definitive 60s garage collector must-have. (Amazon)

Although stated as US Sixties Garage At Its Best, but please note that this compilation also features a number of Canadian bands.
