Gallon Drunk have elements of all the above, with the result that the sound veers from repulsive to crazily attractive in a very primitive way. Giving this collection of their single releases more than a fighting chance is worth the work, though. While tracks like Snakepit, hailing from their early days, are raw and obnoxious, there are also serious surprises and eye-openers to be had -- Gallon Drunk's version of Miserlou is a slow, dark pulse that makes it the high point of the album.
This is wild-eyed primitive rock & roll in no uncertain terms, the sort of thing that can easily make the average listener uncomfortable. Consequently, it's definitely worth checking out. There aren't too many bands as seriously deranged as this one. ~ Steven McDonald, All Music GuideGallon Drunk:

Good stuff, but you left out the greatest of all Doo-Wop groups ever "The Persuasions". They always did it acappela, the way true Doo-Wop should be done. Here's a seasonal example:

Info:
Freakbeat, Psych, Mod
Having infamously turned down the Beatles after auditioning them in 1962, and then grabbing the Rolling Stones the following year as a consolation prize, Decca spent much of the next couple years snapping up a bevy of R&B-oriented U.K. rock acts. Many of them (though not the Stones) are represented on this 25-track compilation, which serves as a pretty broad snapshot of this aspect of the British Invasion as a whole. The good part is that you get to hear a lot of decent to excellent non-hits that will be unfamiliar to the average British Invasion fan, from the grittiest and jazziest of the lot to pop stars who occasionally got into an R&B bag (like Dave Berry and Lulu).The not-so-good part is that a fair number of mediocrities are mixed in with the more exciting stuff. Too, even the fine obscurities here have mostly been easily available on other CD anthologies or single-artist collections, and many British Invasion collectors interested in this kind of material are likely to already have much of the best of it elsewhere. But there's no denying that the best half or so is dynamite, whether it's early British R&B-rock at its most feral (the Fairies' "Anytime at All" and Cops'n Robbers' "Gotta Be a Reason," both strongly reminiscent of the early Pretty Things); Lulu at her most raunchily soulful ( "I'll Come Running Over" ); an early example of a folk song being rocked up, though it falls short of being folk-rock (the Plebs' "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You"); David John & the Mood's "To Catch That Man" (sometimes rumored to have been led by a very young David Bowie, though that's not the case); and the Hipster Image's "Can't Let Her Go" (the original version of a song subsequently covered by the Alan Bown Set), one of the best little-known midpoints between British R&B/mod rock and jazz. There are also plenty of efforts by stars-in-the-making that are cool or at least historically interesting, like the Birds (with Ron Wood), the Graham Bond Organisation (with a pre-Cream Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker), Davie Jones & the King Bees (led by the future David Bowie), Rod Stewart, and John Mayall (whose 1964 pre-Eric Clapton debut single, "Crawling Up a Hill," is pretty terrific). ~ Richie Unterberger (www.ebay.co.uk/itm/THE-R-B-SCENE-Various-Artists-NEW-SOUL-MOD-R-B-BLUES-CD-DECCA-/152006985223)

For personal and safety concerns I'm going to be using an old moniker I've used for years, "Dear Old Man, Kind old Man, Wise Old man, Now."
Dear friends of TZ.
I'm looking for these albums.I do not know if you can help me.
Thank you very much to all.

A greeting
This band has been a life saver through the years. Thanks, my CD's are in the attic. Sad that this style of Rock has largely been abandoned and sad for the loss of the band
For personal and safety concerns I'm going to be using an old moniker I've used for years, "Stink Blister." Also time to weigh in on bit rates of FREE MUSIC:
bit rates, shmit rates, personally I think each poster should hand deliver a mint vinyl copy of each offering posted here directly to my home. If a vinyl copy doesn't exist they should pay to have one pressed & then hand deliver it to me in Pennsylvania. I guarantee that this will successfully nip in the bud any future whining I may engage in that involves bit rates, shmit rates.
Thank You & good day.
BTW, thanks for The Del Moroccos. Great stuff.
@RYP: Thanks, I don't have this one either. I have 5 others by them. Tell me if you are interestd. They're all @ 320. Have a nice day.
And once I've finally finished my move and my two external hard drives have rejoined me- I will be changing my posting name for reaasons of verisimilitude. Think I'll call myself backinor.
Hi Folks, thanks all for the great music shares. Can anybody support with:

Thanks Ryp for Gallon Drunk. I've really love it when come out.
@ Dick
If you want along with my hand pressed vinyl copy (of the colour you want also mint) i can also take my external hd and put the album i've share directly in your music folder and tagging the file in the way you like.
but
only during the football season and if you assure me to have free access to steelers presidential tribute
RYP,
I love Gallon Drunk. I can share a few more of their records if you're not planning on it. I can also share some Flaming Stars.
Also, for personal and safety concerns I'm going to be using the same old moniker I've used for years, "Billy K."

I appreciate the humor, but there is a music industry force that gets all excited about music sharing and, with help from gov-mint can do nasty things to anyone they catch sharing. I'm sure they can track me down, but I don't have to make it too easy for them.
Ravachol and Billy K,
I have two more Gallon Drunk to post:
"You, the Night... & The Music" 1992 and "From the Heart of Town" 1993. More are very welcome!
to the t-zonie formerly known as garin, thanks for your christmas offerings.
Yesterday I learned of the passing of Barrelhouse Chuck, an honest-to-god student of Sunnyland Slim and Little Brother Montgomery. While not the greatest singer, he had heart, soul and an amazing grasp of Chicago Blues piano - which ain't as easy as it looks. Being 10 years younger than me, I thought sure he'd outlive me, but alas died of cancer. If you don't know of him, here's a taste. If you do know of him, play some of his music - I'm sure he'll appreciate it. Lots more where this came from, if anyone is interested.

Hey Gyro1966, could you re-up "The Twisted Wheel Story" that you posted a bunch of years back?
Thanks!

I loved this band. I share the sentiment that it's a shame this kind of music didn't strike a chord with more people. I'm sure I still have half a dozen CDs by Gallon Drunk somewhere. Including this one. But I'll just DL this one for the sake of ease... Thanks!
Hi RYP,
I tried to post this question earlier but I don't see it here. I am looking for a copy of The Twisted Wheel Story. The one with You Get Your Kicks from Mitch Ryder and It Keeps Raining by Fats Domino.

Billy K,
many thanks a lot for "The Rotten Mile". Soon I'll post it on the main site!
Just noticed: It was you who pointed me on Gallon Drunk in 2007 (yes, in our youth, ha,ha)!
"You, the Night... & The Music" + "From the Heart of Town" I got from you...
Greetz to you once again from the Ruhrgebeat (Germany)
Dear all,
anybody happen to have "New Orleans Funk vol.4", the latest release from Soul Jazz in their execllent series?
Much obliged!

RYP,
That's pretty funny. I thought you turned me on to Gallon Drunk! It's been a few years, my friend...
Thanks, but this is only the first half of the CD - was really wanting to hear the previously unreleased live tracks; do you have them?

James Johnston was also an auxiliary member of the Krautrock group FAUST, and guitarist for their 2009 tour and possibly other reincarnations of that group, which Julian Cope called the most mythical band of all time. Here is a free archived performance from that tour from 2009 featuring Johnston: https://archive.org/details/Live_at_WFMU_Fest_Oct_1_2009-5411 .
@ RYP
I've listen to this album this night and It's a very beautiful discover! Thanks RYP I've really enjoyed!
Thanks Garin for A Jazz Christmas.
