Trick Bag!

The History Of Northwest Rock Volume 4 (2006)
"This CD is nothing short of a magnificent sweep through Jerry Dennon's archives. We've tried to provide a representative sampling of the array of talent that made up the legendary sixties' Northwest Sound--thus there is primitive rhythm and blues, sophisticated pop, soul, organ driven rock and roll, fuzz guitar punk, trippy psychedelia and more. Quality is a common bond that links all these records together and that's one of the factors that made the Northwest such a magic place during the sixties." - from the liner notes by Neal Skok

Overcome by fumes

Various Artists - Battle of The Bands 7" (1979)
This comp of lesser known bands (with the exception of Rudi) from the Good Vibrations label should have you dancin' in the streets.
Good Vibrations started from a Belfast record shop of the same name run by Terri Hooley. The label specialized in Northern Irish punk bands of whom the Undertones became the best known after their debut single “Teenage Kicks” was championed by Radio 1 DJ John Peel. Hooley went bankrupt in 1982, but managed to revive the label at the end of the 80s. - good vibes belfast

Eh Bien Mon Ami

Cazumbi - African Sixties Garage Volume 1 (2008)
Being plenty familiar with Afrobeat, I was intrigued by something billing "Garage Rock, Surf and Psych Howlers from the Vaults of African Colonies." Certainly no disappointment, it'll have you doing the Krakmen Twist in no time!

Oo Chang-A-Lang

Girls In The Garage Volume 1 CD (199?)
A medley of punk from the mid-60's?! These are the girls you need.

Howlin'!

English Freakbeat Volume 2 (1989)
The second installment of freaky, limey, 60's punkers, appropriately subtitled "Wailin' R&B; from folks who wouldn't know a progressive blues jam from a sitar." 7 pounds of potatoes may come between you and your love, but it shouldn't keep you from grabbing this!

The trip

Goldmine Presents: Garage Sale! cassette (1985)
A compilation of mid-80's garage rockers on the famous ROIR cassette label. Some big names like The Fuzztones, Pandoras, Tell-Tale Hearts, Gravedigger V, etc. as well as some goofy stuff like Widfang's "Like Ringo." Fun rockin', I tell no lies!

Underground Babylon

The Decline Of Western Civilization Soundtrack (1980)
An American documentary film filmed through 1979 and 1980, the movie was directed by Penelope Spheeris about the Los Angeles punk rock scene. In 1981, the LAPD Chief of Police Daryl Gates wrote a letter demanding the film not be shown again in L.A. Over the years the film has gained cult status.
The film's title is possibly a reference to famous music critic Lester Bangs' 1970 two-part review of The Stooges' Fun House for Creem Magazine, where Bang quotes a friend who had said the popularity of The Stooges signaled "the decline of Western civilization." Another possibility is that the title refers to Darby Crash' reading of Oswald Spengler's "Der Untergang des Abendlandes" ("The Decline of the West").
Featuring concert footage of legendary Los Angeles punk bands, and interviews both with band members, the publishers of Slash, and with the punks who made up their audience, the film offers a look into a subculture that was largely ignored by the rock music press of the time.
Eerily, the promotional poster for The Decline (and the record cover of the soundtrack album) featured a close-up frame of Germs singer Darby Crash supine on stage with his eyes closed. Crash died from a heroin-induced suicide shortly before the film was released (the poster was designed before his death). - wikipedia

Because I'm free

The Best of Metrobeat (1990)
More musically mayhem from Minnesota. This comp features tracks from the Metrobeat (and Peak) label around 1967-68. Metrobeat was formed by Mike Jann and David Anthony who were both closely associated with the Trashmen. In fact, David passed on the rights to issue "Surfin' Bird" for a mere $100! What you have here is a fine collection of pre-psyche garage n' roll from the midwest. Shake a tail feather!

Take a quaalude now (Re-Up)

Me Want Breakfast: The Dangerhouse Collection (1987)
When I bought this, I thought it was the real deal: finally a reissue compilation of singles and 'Yes L.A.' tracks from one of the finest late 70's punk labels, Dangerhouse Records. I found out later it was a bootleg (explains the somewhat sub-par fidelity), but I'm still happy just to have some of the rare tracks missing from my 7" bins. For this hdvns version I used the original 7"s whenever possible. Read the Dangerhouse story on break my face.

Shades of blue

Teenage Shutdown: Nobody To Love (199?)
Moody garage punkers, yes, with plenty of hooks to keep you coming back. I can't get the tears from my eyes.

Pay day

Medway Powerhouse Volume 3 (1988)
More melodious Medway madness!

Last orders

Short Circuit: Live At The Electric Circus 10" (1978)
The Electric Circus was a punk/underground club in 70's Manchester England. For some reason it was forced to shut down. During the final weekend (October 1st & 2nd, 1977) a blow-out concert was was arranged and these tracks recorded: The Fall in fine form, primitive Joy Division performing as Warsaw, hilarity from John Cooper Clarke, punky Drones, Steel Pulse getting a collie high, and the Buzzcocks, being, well, the Buzzcocks. A great document from what must have been an exciting time.

Mod-O-Phonic

This Is Mod (1995)
Mod revival from some obscure late 70's/early 80's UK singles. Grab your parka, pop some amphetamines, fire up the Lambretta... ready, steady, go!

Shake it up!

These Cats Ain't Nothin' But Trash - The Milkshakes, The Sting-Rays, The Cannibals (1983)
I tell you it just won't go away ... It's been buried more times than Bela lugosi and still it keeps right on bouncing back... Every time the bland start leading the bland up the charts.... Along comes...................................
They called it Rock 'n' Roll They called it Rockabilly
They called it Beat They called it Punk
THEY CALL IT TRASH
It's found in garages living off the carbon monoxide fumes and every now and then it crawls out of the pit and onto a stage. The 100 Club, The Hope and Anchor, Brixton's 'Garage' and even Dingwalls have all hosted a night of trash. Now for the first time the three bands at the top of the heap, together on one record. - from the liner notes

(the original vinyl has the hidden "Hidden Charms" by Link Wray. Since this can be found elsewhere in better context it is not included here)

Medway Powerhouse Volume 2 (1987)
Further research into the musical output of thee Medway scene. Volumes 3 and 4 coming later...

Happiness for once

Medway Powerhouse Volume 1 (1987)
Ever since the Pop Rivets took to the stage a Detling Village Hall in September 1977, the feet of Medway have been tapping to a generation of home-grown Rock & Roll groups. This showcase of Punk and Beat gives you, the listener, the first opportunity to hear (14) great unreleased tracks by the likes of the Milkshakes, the Prisoners, plus many, many more . . .
- Jack Ketch, July 1987 (from the liner notes)

Vreselijk vies!

Pebbles Volume 25: The Continent Lashes Back! Holland Part 3
Freshly returned from the Netherlands, I offer you yet another "uitstekende selectie" of 60's Dutch garage punk 'n' R&B.; Heel goed voor uw oren!
In the comments is a link to Pebbles 23: Holland part 2. THANKS to "anonymous" for this !!

Sweet acid

Acid Dreams Epitaph - 75 Minutes of Green Fuz (1996)
The sequel to 'Acid Dreams Testament' (see here) is a similar disc loaded with more freaky psyche/garage punk from '64 thru '69. Go ahead and take a trip, you'll have no reason to complain.

A sonic tribute!

!!!Here Ain't The Sonics!!! (1989)
I'm not a fan of tribute albums, but I am a fan of the Sonics (and many bands on this record) so this'll have to do. Not a bad collection of tunes by a diverse assemblage of groups from around the country and beyond. Some big names here from the Pacific Northwest (Fallouts, Girl Trouble, Mono Men, Screaming Trees, to name a few), as well as The Cynics, Thee Headcoats, Nomads and many others. They ain't the Sonics, but they try.
