Follow That Munster - Vol. 1

An interesting compilation with a cool ass cover. Sometimes one song can make an entire compilation worth the price of admission. Take A Small World by The Cavemen, what a great tune with it’s simple classic sixties organ swirling around beneath a basic three chord guitar track, with speak sing vocals from a poor dude that got dumped and is pleading to get her back... classic garage. The good stuff doesn’t end there with great tracks from the Countdowns, Different Parts, Quantrill Raiders, Decades, Barbarians, Staccatos and the Cardinals. Unfortunately there is one real stinker here too, Love Comes Love Goes by the inappropriately named Wild Things, guaranteed to clear the room. Fortunately the good outweighs the bad, and there is plenty of great garage to be found on Follow That Munster!
