Apples In Stereo - Her Wallpaper Reverie
Consider this an introduction to the Apples In Stereo, for those that haven’t already discovered their wonderful sixties inspired sounds. Her Wallpaper Reverie is actually the bands third release, with Fun Trick Noisemaker and Tone Soul Evolution preceding it. I think this is a great place to start, once you digest this you can explore other excellent Apples releases, I highly recommend The Discovery Of A World Inside The Moone. Backwards or forwards through the bands discography, you really can’t go wrong.

Gathering Of The Tribe
Another classic old compilation, maybe a bit more psych than garage, but there isn’t any harm in that.
THE SUN WENT AWAY - BOUNTY HUNTERS
The Paybacks - Knock Loud
Another great kick ass rockin' record, this time out from Detroit USA, dig the sonic assault!
The Flaming Sideburns - Save Rock 'N' Roll
Save Rock 'N' Roll is the North American debut album from this Finnish band, fronted by an Argentinean on vocals, who sings in both Spanish and English. Another fine example of a Scandinavian band showing North America how to rock 'n' roll, something they seem to have forgotten over the years. You can hear echoes of the Stooges, Stones, MC5 and even a bit of Velvet Underground on this great record.
STREET SURVIVOR - THE FLAMING SIDEBURNS

Rasputin And The Monks
If you dig enthusiastically and ineptly played sixties garage, then this may just be your thing. Evidently this New England garage band was more than familiar with the Stones. The original LP was a split deal from St. Mark’s prep school, one side by Rasputin And The Monks and the flip by the Octet school chorus. For the 1984 vinyl reissue, the Octet school chorus side was omitted, which I would imagine is for the best.
GOTTA GET AWAY - RASPUTIN AND THE MONKS

Microdots 1
Another stellar compilation, loaded with nothing but great tracks. Again, most of us have owned a copy of this for decades, but just maybe there are few of you who missed this essential collection.

Oh Yeah!
Time to revisit some classic comps that are sadly out of print. Most of us have owned this collection, as well as the second volume, for a few decades, this post is for the have nots. Classic sixties done “Windy City” style! Now where the hell is my Gino’s East deep dish pizza?

Top Drawer - Solid Oak
Anybody up for some early seventies stoner basement rock? Not a perfect album by any means, the second half kind of drags on with a few turds, but overall I enjoy this one quite a bit. This should appeal to fans of the eponymous Mary Butterworth record, both albums generate a certain “real” atmosphere. Check it out...

Slow Moving Reptiles - U Baby
Not much to say about this one, everybody knows the band and the hits. This is their second album, and in my opinion their best. It’s a shame their albums are currently out of print, with the exception of a Greatest Hits collection. Perhaps someday a great re-issue label such as Rev-Ola will rectify this situation.

Acid And Flowers
With a title like Acid And Flowers, you pretty much know what you’re in for with this fine collection of psychedelic yum yums. Outstanding tracks from the likes of the Allies, Morticians, United Travel Service, Whatever and the West Coast Branch.

The Darlings - Copperfields
Copperfields was the followup to Wheatstraw Suite, released in 1970, if you enjoyed it’s predecessor you’ll most certainly dig this gem as well. For those that don’t know, the Dillards appeared on the Andy Griffith Show (1963-1966) as the fictional bluegrass band The Darlings.
