Glimpses - 1 & 2












Volumes 1 and 2 of the now classic Glimpses compilations on 1 CD. Some well known stuff here, a lot of these bands seem to be from Michigan, why not I suppose it’s a treasure trove of great garage records (just check out the Fenton Records Story for more evidence of that). Some really great songs from the pre Kind of a Drag Buckinghams, Illusion, Yorkshires, Troyes, Ruins, Galaxies IV and Count & The Colony.
