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

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!

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!

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.

Go Go

Wild Things Volume 2: 16 Monaural Blasts of Wyld Kiwi Garage Pop 1966-1968 (1996)
Another dose of Kiwi garage strum. Read more about NZ 60's bands over here.

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 !!

Cruncher!

Pebbles Volume 15: The Continent Lashes Back! The Netherlands 1965-1968
Holland is coming soon. I can feel it! 16 "klassiek" tracks will take you there too! And the liner notes agree: There were some fantastic Dutch bands whose recorded efforts could easily stand up to the most revered UK and US garage ikons. (You'll hear) pop, primitive R & B, Blues, along with some unclassifiable aberrations bordering psychedelic, modbeat, and just plain inspired uglitude... Holland was happening!

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.

Screaming banshees!

Back From The Grave Volume One CD (1996)
No reason to complain: 29 raw and crude early to mid 60's punkers from the dependable wackos at Crypt Records. Do you understand me?

Acid heads

The Acid Dreams Testament - 75 Minutes Of Psychotic Terror (1987?)
The title says it all, this is 60's garage/psyche/punk of the highest order. Play loud!
From the liner notes (lol): The period that we call the sixties actually began in June of 1965 and lasted through the winter of 1973. By the Summer of Love in '67, the sexual revolution, women's liberation, the antiwar movement and the hippie period were all in full swing. Today's young people complain that the sixties seem like a nonstop party and they've been left to clean up its debris. To them I can only say yes, you're right. The sixties were the most fun time anyone ever had on this planet, and you missed it. Too bad, but it's not our fault. Check your past lives to find out why.

Merry juana

The History of Northwest Rock Volume 3: Psychedelic Seattle 1965-69 (2000)
Aaaaah, the 60's, psychedelics, Seattle...
Although the third volume in this series is my least favorite, it is certainly no slouch. Some great tracks are here and a few hippies too.
From the liner notes: "Our local sounds were being impacted by influences as disparate as flower-power rock, Mersey beat mania, paisley-powered psychedelia, old-timey jug bands, acid rock freakouts and back-to-the-country rock. Yet as we shall see, the region's bedrock teen-R&B tradition never gave way entirely here in the Northwest."

Jack of diamonds

Nuggets Volume 8: The Northwest (1986)
Fresh from a library sale to your ears! Despite the hideous cover this is a surprise package, delving into the punkier/harder (and the occasional hippy) side of NW rock from 1963-69. Not a bad song on it: some you've heard, some you haven't. Now, it's your time!

Beat merchants

English Freakbeat Volume One (1992)
Crazed limey teens is right! Plenty of Pretty Things-Kinks-mod soundalikes here, and with songs titles like "Shake It", "Girl, I Am Your Evil Witchman" and "Purple Pill Eater" how can you go wrong?

Psychedelic Senate

'Wild In The Streets' Original Movie Soundtrack (1968)
A groovy soundtrack from a groovy/goofy movie. Features the hit "Shape Of Things To Come" credited here to The 13th Power, but by popular demand, this song and others were also released on an album by Max Frost & The Troopers(...). Apparently the session musicians might be Davie Allan and the Arrows. Listen to the music!
"Wild In The Streets" follows the meteoric rise of a rock star, Max Frost, who becomes U.S. President and revolutionary leader. Max initially becomes involved in politics in a crusade to lower the voting age in California to age 14 (in 1967 it was age 21). After helping to elect Johnny Fergus to the U.S. Senate, he uses his popularity to get former child movie star and band member Sally Leroy, elected to the U.S. House. In the wake of her election, state after state lowers its voting age. Following her victory and dramatic speech before the House Of Representatives, voting rights protesters are shot dead in Washington D.C. Max then enters the race for U.S. President. The rough and dirty campaign culminates in Max and his inner circle drugging the water supply of Washington D.C. (with LSD) in order to impair the mental facilities of the U.S. Congress. Congress lowers the voting age and Max is elected in a landslide. At President Frost's first address before Congress, Johnny Fergus' assassination attempt is foiled and consequently President Frost is granted unprecedented power and authority. He declares 30 to be a mandatory retirement age after which individuals will be given LSD. As a reign of terror sweeps the nation, neo-Fascist paramilitary youth gangs create internment camps. At the very end, the film makes a subtle comment about the dangers of age discrimination when Max realizes that children under 14 regard his generation as the enemy. - from this website

Soul Searchin'

The History of Northwest Rock Volume 1: The Northwest Sound (1994)
From the liner notes:
No mere greatest hits compendium this. Rather, the initial volume of Jerden Records History of Northwest Rock series is an unparalleled aural chronicle of a distinct regional substrain of 60's rock n roll, the original "Northwest Sound." This compilation is intended to serve as a kickoff point in an effort to dig back into the depths of the Pacific Northwest regions bigbeat roots. It is a solid mix of long-lost regional radio classics, the nearly forgotten and the absolutely unknown.

Crisco Party!

Various Artists - The History of Northwest Rock Volume 2: The Garage Years CD (1999, recorded 1963-68)
More garage rock from the Northwest, this time from the swingin' 60's. 22 cuts that'll knock you flat. A couple of the usual suspects, but quite a few not so usual. It's high time!

Cycle-Delic

Angel Dust: Music For Movie Bikers (1988)
A bad-ass compilation put together by UK artist Savage Pencil featuring superfuzzed "biker" tracks from Davie Allan and The Arrows and others recorded between 1966-70. The music is tied together with banter from bikers films (thus making it a gapless album in spots). The packaging is a real beauty, nice gatefold sleeve and picture disc vinyl. Angels die hard!

Real R & B

The Real R & B (1965?)
Here is the follow-up to Authentic R & B. I could find even less info on this release.
From the back cover:
In March 1964 an album was released entitled 'Authentic R & B.' It proved very successful, so much that a follow-up record was asked for.
Here is that follow-up. It is selected from the same American label, Excello, and features mainly the same artistes as on the previous record. Many people ask-what is rhythm and blues? We feel that this record provides the answer.
It's love baby...
