And flat-out smoking’" (Winnipeg Sun). The OBELISK calls them "a group with an impeccable instrumental chemistry, immediately familiar hooks brought out through exceptional songwriting."

HUNNS/ DIE HUNNS - LAST TWO COPIES Animals b/w Wild Label:DISASTER Records (color vinyl). The HUNNS sound is raw, chainsaw, based on a classic formula : two Les Pauls, drums and bass. Duane, of course, sounds like Duane, but that's the main similarity with the U.S. Bombs : the HUNNS delivery is much more street American rock'n'roll. Now with the addition of ex-NASHVILLE PUSSY COREY PARKS on bass, The HUNNS have become one of the best punk band playing anywhere in the world today. 45 RPM $10 SKU:4832

PHAST PHREDDIE- And the Precisions backroom find! - Label:MARTIAN/ Bomp Very rare co-release from 1984. Going for big bucks on Amazon One of the founding members of the group was Jeffrey Lee Pierce—who quit (before Thee Precisions played live) when he formed his own group, The Gun Club, which achieved well-deserved critical and international fame Another important member was Steve Berlin. His outstanding tenor saxophone playing kept the group from becoming a bunch of crazies biting off more than they could chew. The exposure he received playing with Thee Precisions directly led him to play and/or record with such acts as The Plimsouls, The Blasters, The Plugz, The Flesheaters, Los Lobos and The Go-Go’s. Also, Steve’s musical skills kept the group from performing trite arrangements of their original material.
unique roots-based music with recognizable influences of swing, be-bop, R&B, soul, garage rock, psychedelia and free jazz. They liked to call what they did “Rockin’ R&B-Bop” in order to take it all in. LP $10 SKU:17170

LOST & FOUND- Everybody's Here ( Elevators style 60s psych - Rigid digibook w 16-page illustrated booklet plus 3 bonus cuts ) -Label:CHARLY Originally known as The Misfits, Lost & Found came together in Houston in 1965, changing their name just prior to undertaking a six-month residency at Houston's Living Eye Club -- one of the centres of the area's thriving psychedelic scene. Like anyone who frequented the club, smoked the odd joint and worshipped at the altar of The 13th Floor Elevators, they became friends with Roky Erickson. He in turn introduced them to Lelan Rogers of International Artists, who promptly signed them up. The group's sound displayed a marked Byrds and Love influence, which doubtless stemmed from the time they had spent in L.A. A planned follow-up album for International Artists unfortunately never came to fruition after the band disintegrated after a 30-day Texas tour with national garage gods The Music Machine. Band member Peter Black later joined Endle St Cloud." Comes in a deluxe digibook with 16-page booklet and International Artists catalog. Includes three bonus tracks: "When Will You Come Through," "Professor Black" and "25 MPH." CD $12 SKU:15698

MACC LADS- An Orifice and a Genital ( 80s UK Punk ) -Label:HARRY MAY So goes the by-now standard warning on the also standard Macc Lads sleeve (in green for this CD). Loads of swearing, abuse, poor attempts at playing their instruments - even McCavity trying to sing while eating a pie!!!!! Well-known tracks (No Sheep Till Buxton) and rare collectors bits (Monkees / Manfred Macc - the latter allegedly never ever performed anywhere other than this recording session). Personally I find it outrageous that these Lads don't have Knighthoods - this stuff is great... CD $3 SKU:9288

Bitter, Fit Crack is the third full-length album from irreverent English punk rock band, The Macc Lads. It was released in 1987 and follows Beer & Sex & Chips n Gravy from 1985. A live album came next in 1988. CD $3 SKU:9286

MAKI & BLUES CREATION, CARMEN- ST (Grace Slick style 70s rock guitar monster )- Label:PHOENIX RECORDS (UK) Released at about the same time as Demon And Eleven Children, the album the beautiful Carmen Maki recorded with the band Blues Creation, this 1971 heavy rock guitar monster reminds us that ...Eleven Children isn't the only heavy album from this ensemble. Maki was probably one of the strongest voices of Japanese rock and is featured here doing her finest Grace Slick impression. Lots of brutal, non-stop wailing guitar but some mellow, bluesy psychedelic rock numbers, too. Maki went on to form her own band, Oz, but this is the collaboration for which she will be best remembered. Highly recommended. Features the original LP cover. Digitally remastered. CD $12 SKU:13709

MANCO, BARIS- 2023 ( 70s psych ) - Label:Guerrson From 1975, this is Barı Manço 's masterpiece -- a stunning, cosmic, psychedelic, groovy conceptual album with fantastic electronics and a strong Turkish folk flavor, as usual.

MARKLEY- A Group ( Final LP by US psych legends the WCPAEB) - Label:AURORA Reissue on CD of what was actually the 5th and final album by W.C.P.A.E.B. album but singer/womanizer Bob Markley thought it nesseccary to release it under his own name, as a showcase for his various dementias. The albums rich harmonies and full, delicate arrangments show the abundant influence of Michael Lloyd, who co-produced the album with Bob Markley. A surprisingly consistent and accomplished album for a band about to collapse under the collective weight of its own insanity. CD $10 SKU:8154

Great guitar work and a straightforward style that pays homage to basement-driven, beer-battered, saxophone-thickened rock n' roll. If you want pensive lyrics, go to Target.” - Bruno Westover/Left of the Dial CD $5 SKU:2241

MASTERS APPRENTICES- VOl 2 APPRENTICESHIP IN THE GARAGE, 1966 ( 60s Garage ) 8-page foldout leaflet with boss pix -Label:NICKOFF \With manager Graham Longley’s reel-to-reel recorder perched on top of a car, the night was captured for posteriety; the bounty would not begin to emerge from the garage (literally, that’s where Graham stored the tapes) until 2004, with the release of the CD ‘From Mustangs To Masters–First Year Apprentices’.
Further rampaging material from that long-ago evening is presented in this new release: the band plays apprentice to such masters as Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry and Howlin’ Wolf, as well as tackling then-new material by fellow acolytes like the Rolling Stones (whom they’d recently seen in live in concert), the Pretty Things, Animals and Them.
All in all, a wild night’s work. The CD features an 8-page foldout leaflet with boss pix of the early Master Apprentices, some never seen before. Fully licensed on Nickoff Records NCD-2 CD $12 SKU:8867

ANTORCHAS, LAS - ST ( ultra-rare 60s Mexican psych w. liner notes, and a poster insert that replicates the Orfeon EP art) - Label:VAM MEXICO Las Antorchas were formed in 1965 by five college students in Mexico City. They released only one EP on Orfeon, but had recorded enough material for an album. They split around 1968/69, but after a line-up change they continued under the name of Antorcha. Thanks to the persistence of VAM Records and record producer Manuel Alvarez Valdez, we now have all known material of Las Antorchas, including their Orfeon material. Their early sounds are rock/beat influenced, with most relying on organ and vocals. But the excellent ‘Dime’ is a really great acid-punk track. Truly underground Mexican rock, waiting to be discovered. This edition has liner notes, and a poster insert that replicates the Orfeon EP art LP $21 SKU:15111

BAINS, LEE - Dereconstructed ( w first run color vinyl and MP3 download ) -Label:SUB POP Dereconstructed is a careening, road raging, all night party of a record.

BARE SOLE - Flash ( 1969 for fans of Blue Cheer, Iron Claw, Stack Waddy)-Label:SOMMOR RECORDS (Spain LP version. Previously unreleased UK demo album from 1969. The loudest band from Hull in the '60s, Bare Sole played raw, in-your-face psychedelic hard rock and heavy blues. Bare Sole's brief existence at the tail-end of the 1960s reflected the realistic trappings of their geographical situation. Musical icons such as Mick Ronson and Robert Palmer would eventually rise to fame outside of their native Hull, but Bare Sole sadly only managed a handful of out-of-town gigs and a tour of US air bases in Germany. As it was, their entire existence lasted just over a year, but at least their inspired musical legacy has survived thanks to a 1969 recording session held at Fairview Studios. Assisted by writer and producer Keith Herd and galvanized by an enthusiastic local poultry farmer, Bare Sole captured their primitive garage mannerisms in one fiery recording session. Aside from Decca's rejection of their demo tape, Bare Sole continued playing alongside acts such as Family, Status Quo, The Move, and Small Faces, but the inevitable decision to quit came in 1970 and their story came to an end. Flash represents Bare Sole's entire recorded history, taken from the master tapes of their 1969 recording session. Their seductive garage romp boasts explosive doses of fuzz, wah-wah, and Farfisa organ, a sound that recalls an earlier and more primitive sound, but a sound that also may have unwittingly sealed their fate.

BARRACUDAS - ST -( ltd ed OF 100 color vinyl) -Label:NDN As a cursory look at radio playlists and cult whisperings will attest, The Barracudas reappearance after so long could not be better timed. Garage music is in fashion (again) and so is surf (well, Brian Wilson, and let's face it they might as well be synonymous). Power pop, likewise, from a 45 grave, has risen to reassert its importance. Indeed, all the styles the band have mastered and made their own are now current and selling. And another thing: The Barracudas sounds younger than yesterday but with experience supplying an edge that cuts across time to the heart of the band. LP $10 SKU:4392

BATORS, STIV - Disconnected LTD ED of 100 CLEAR RED VINYL with cool printed inner sleeve! ( powerpop ) -Label:BOMP Inner sleeve includes photos and lyrics. Bators' first solo album, Disconnected was recorded in Los Angeles following the breakup of the Dead Boys. It's got more of a garage pop/Nuggets vibe than the work of the Dead Boys-he even covers the great Electric Prunes track 'I Had Too Much Too Dream Last Night.' But even though he professes to be an evil boy, he does it with a charm that's pretty irresistible." - Creem. LP $16 SKU:16312

BBQ - Tie Your Noose Black VINYL -Label:BOMP Records One of Greg Shaw's last signings on BOMP records, and the the latest project from Mark Sultan (from the KING KAHN & BBQ Show, and Les Sexareenos), a man who has slept in the garage all his life. BBQ is not a group, it's the best one-man band since Wilbert Harrison (and no, we're not forgetting the Legendary Stardust Cowboy), doing a raw, soul-shaking style of pre-frat '50s/ early '60s party music--pre-frat frat rock. Take our word for it: with this crazy sound he's puttin' down, you can't sit down! A superb album. LP $14 SKU:12850
