NEW ARRIVALS

EMBROOKS-NIGHTMARE -FREAKBEAT LEGENDS! -Label:STATE BW HELEN -After 10 year away, Freakbeat Legends The Embrooks are back with a brand new single. It features two killer sides, including a remake of Our New Day's (2000) standout cut, "Helen." Limited to 500 copies. (2016) 45 RPM $8 SKU:17815

PAGANS - HOPPED UPLabel:GET HIP BW NOWHERE GIRL- Born from the sessions that produced Pagans' 2014 comeback album Hollywood High, "Hopped Up" and flip-sider "Nowhere Girl" are two primo cuts of '77 Punk Rock--featuring the snarling rasp of original Pagan Mike Hudson.45 RPM $8 SKU:18020

PAGANS - STREET WHERE NOBODY LIVES 77-79- Label:DANGER BW WHAT'S THIS SHIT CALLED LOVE? Of all the bands that burst out of Cleveland in the mid- to late-'70s punk explosion, one of the most unjustly ignored was the Pagans. Despite breaking up in 1979 (they, however, reunited several times since), these grimy bohunks played fast'n'loud piss-and-vinegar garage rock that valued alienation and, at times, extreme bad taste. Led by the honking rasp of Mike Hudson and the rapid-fire guitar of Mike "Tommy Gunn" Metoff, the Pagans never played it safe, nor did they enter the rock & roll wars wanting to win any friends. And this, ultimately, was a good thing, for like their pals the Dead Boys, their anti-star pose and carpe diem attitude meant that their best songs (and there are quite a few) sound as if they were set to auto-destruct at the tune's end. Although their don't-give-a-damn attitude lends itself more than once to some sexist japes and homophobic ranting, the Pagans ultimately didn't care who they offended. In fact, listening to any of their vintage material (1977-1979), you'd think that offending everyone was their artistic raison d'être. 45 RPM $12 SKU:17951

SORROWS(UK)-YOU'VE GOT WHAT I WANT - PINK VINYL Label:PYE B/W NO, NO, NO, NO- Repro single with very nice picture sleeve of fantastic 1966 British freakbeat Garage 45. Pressed on pink vinyl.45 RPM $12 SKU:18013

VIV AND THE SECT- THIS WILL PASS(60S PSYCH STYLE)150-gram Opaque Violet vinyl Label:GET HIP Debutalbum by an outstanding garage-psych band from Mexico City!

However, the band's outstanding songwriting skills have even more in common with '60s West Coast garage-psych legends s.a. (early) Love, The Music Machine and Electric Prunes. LP $16 SKU:17970

Fabulous 60's Garage-Psych with Eastern melody techniques and distorted guitar sound 45 RPM $10 SKU:17681

WEAD -BY THE WHEY / AND I & SHE-Label:SLOVENLY You’d figure that with the recent release of two new volumes of Crypt Records’ Back From The Grave series, and a vast stack of Last of the Garage Punk Unknowns comps finally getting their due, that the well of unheard '60s garage band recordings finally got sucked clean dry. Enter Tom Shannon of the mighty CHEATER SLICKS who dialed us up last year with a story of a customer he met while on the clock at Columbus, Ohio’s famed Used Kids Records, where he holds down hours and takes all the good stuff. Said customer delivered a perfectly preserved time capsule 7” acetate from his Cleveland juvenile delinquent combo THE WEAD: drummer Mike O’Callaghan allowed Mr. Shannon home recording privileges on proper gear where the resulting files were handed over to Black Gladiator / Slovenly Recordings for release. Much to garage kingpin Tim Warren’s chagrin, we sent him the tracks to apply his Crypt-style audio tweaking and manhandling, and we now present the first ever issue of this lost 1966 teenpunk masterpiece. “By The Whey” is a rabid punker wrought with menacing mod riffage, a twisted break and lead vox that shows the singer sounding like puberty was still miles away. The flip “And I And She” is of equal unhinged quality - a storming raver that would have easily fit on the “Teen Jangler Blowout!” volume of Teenage Shutdown, and it's as unique as we’ve ever heard 45 RPM $8 SKU:17873

UGLY THINGS- #42- SUMMER 2016: YARDBIRDS / WEIRDOS -Label: Two fantastic bands take pride of place of place on the cover this issue. The Yardbirds, one of the most innovative groups of the ‘60s, are re-examined via a fascinating interview with Paul Samwell-Smith, the band’s bass player, musical arranger, and one of their key songwriters. The Weirdos were at the epicenter of the Los Angeles punk scene in the late 1970s, but their story has never been covered before with any depth or detail. We rectify that this issue with an epic feature story loaded with wild and weird photos.

Also in the spotlight are London ‘60s mods The Carnaby and The Game, Syracuse budget rock heroes The Penetrators, Texas garage-punks The Wig, Berkeley power pop icon J.D. Buhl, late ‘60s Manchester long-hairs Greasy Bear, and frilly-shirted pop-psych purveyors Fortes Mentum. Also, the story of Custom Fidelity Records, a riveting journey behind the scenes of the vanity record pressing industry in its mid-century heyday. Not to forget the latest installment in Cyril Jordan’s ongoing Flamin’ Groovies saga, and our extensive review sections, the ultimate consumers’ guide to all the latest vinyl and CD reissues and rock‘n’roll-related books.

CHESTERFIELD KINGS-DON'T OPEN TIL DOOMSDAYLabel:MIRROR LAST COPIES!!! ROCHESTER GARAGE-ROCK KINGS GREAT THIRD ALBUM LP $18 SKU:17658

CHESTERFIELD KINGS- Let’s Go Get Stoned -Label:MIRROR RECORDS Although the Chesterfield Kings promised that the group would never sound like anything after The Rolling Stones' Aftermath, Let's Go Get Stoned is a tribute to the post-Aftermath Stones, replete with Stones covers ("Street Fighting Man" and "Can't Believe It"), songs The Stones covered (Merle Haggard's "Sing Me Back Home"), and Kings originals that mimic The Stones. Mick Taylor even guests on "I'm Not Talking." Singer Greg Provost has always worshipped at Mick Jagger's altar, but here, the attempt is deliberate. Musically, the results are different, of course, but the Chesterfield Kings go beyond mere ripoff or idolatry. LP $18 SKU: 17683
