Here is volume 1 of a two volume series, stay tuned for #2. There are some really great songs on these two albums. Sure there are a few you've heard a thousand times before like Melvin and Thoughts of A Madman, but I don’t see any harm in that. So dig the vileness (and the Sloane artwork too)!

The Hard Feelings - You Won’t Like It... (2001)

Great kick ass rock and roll record from The Hard Feelings. If you dig great production and studio excellence look elsewhere. But if you are in the mood for some stompin’ lo-fi rock ‘n’ roll this one will do nicely. Released on Beer Land Records, you just know it’s gotta be good.

The Cynics - Stranded In Madrid

In my mind The Cynics can do no wrong, hands down my favorite garage band. Never a flashy or gimmicky band, The Cynics were more concerned with rockin’ our asses off, which they do with conviction. While other garage bands were more concerned about looking retro and groovy The Cynics were crankin’ out some of the most powerful garage records of the day. Here is a live testament to their awesome live shows, recorded Thursday May 3, 1990.

Tracks

 1. Girl You’re On My Mind

TARGET FUZZ

Green On Red - Gravity Talks (1982)

This would have to be my favorite Green On Red album, and one of the best albums from the LA psychedelic renaissance. The band would abandon the psychedelic sound for a more roots rock/country sound on subsequent albums. An often dreamy soundscape with a great organ sound reminiscent of the Doors. This one would fit in nicely along side Rain Parade’s Emergency Third Rail Power Trip. A classic album that deserves a second look.

Tracks

 1. Gravity Talks

 2. Old Chief

 3. 5 Easy Pieces

 4. Deliverance

 5. Over My Head

BAY STATE ROCK

Let Em Have It! - Vol. 1

The title says 27 Gone Garage Classics! - A Trunkload of Gems From Michigan... and I would have to agree, well kind of. Most certainly not top notch sound quality on this set, but that’s the way these things sometimes go. A lot of this stuff is out there with far better sound, however there are some good tunes on this you won’t hear elsewhere, which is what makes this at least somewhat valid. I don’t think volume 2 ever materialized, at least I have never heard of or seen it.

Sixties Archives - Vol. 4: Florida & New Mexico Punk

There is a lot of great tracks on this EVA collection, the liner notes are sparse at best. The first 15 tracks are Florida bands, even though the liners say the Talula Babies are possibly from the Pittsburgh area, track 16  and on are all New Mexico bands. Also of note, the cover says that track 16 is by the Shy Guys Goodbye To You, but in fact this track is not even on the CD, instead track 16 is actually How Can I by the Kreeg. But don’t let the geography and missing track get in the way, just enjoy the tunes for what they are.

SIXTIES ARCHIVES VOL. 4

Cats - S/T (Elektra 1980)

No, no, no not the Broadway show Cats, this was released on Elektra Records in 1980. I know this isn’t going to appeal to a lot of people who visit my blog looking for some great lost mid sixties records, but just maybe there are a few of you who can appreciate this. I can honestly say I know next to nothing about this record, except for the fact that I enjoy it very much and it seems to have sunk without a trace. I bought this promotional copy at a second hand store in the early eighties. Since then I have never seen it again, and have always wondered where were they from, did this get a proper release beyond a promotional album, did they record again, did any members go on to other projects?

So here’s what I do know, the band consisted of Danny Weston on guitar, Dennis Tilli on bass, Fred Zarra on keys and synthesizers, Michael Corr on lead vocals, Peter Keltz on lead guitar and Tommy Stewart on drums. The record was produced, arranged, engineered and mixed by Michael Young. It was recorded at Bearsville Sound Studio, which I believe is in New York.

The music is definitely a product of the eighties with lots of synthesizers, sounding a bit like a mix of Boomtown Rats meets the Cars with a sprinkle of New England (the band not location) on top, yet the band has a distinct sound all there own. It’s hard to imagine they couldn’t get at least snag a top 100 song off this record as it is quite radio friendly.

So if you’ve read this far, give this a listen and let me know what you think. Maybe somebody out there knows the lowdown on these Cats.

Tracks

 1. On The Prowl

 2. One Last Look

 3. It Doesn’t Matter Anymore

CATS

Hysteric Narcotics - Batteries Not Included! (1986)

An overlooked Detroit band from the 80’s who left behind an album, several singles and tracks on various compilations. And what a great album this is, great bubbly garage with a pop psych touch well played by this obviously talented band. A quick internet search eludes to a 2CD set with tons of unreleased and live tracks along with the original album. Unfortunately this was never released, hopefully someday it will because I would love to hear more from this great band.
