Rudi Protrudi's Fuzztones bounce back with an acid-drenched mess of garage grunge psychedelia. Mindbending moments like the dangerous charm of the opening "Third Times The Charm," and forthcoming 45 "Romilar D," paint a lurid lysergic picture of sixties-style psych with strokes of wild originality and present day Pebbles-dashed crazed pop. The sound isn't too dissimilar to that of their previous two studio albums, however there is an alomst dignified maturity in this set. A further dozen reasons to take note of the U.S.A's greatest export since the Cramps. One trip thta's worth taking. This collection sees them at their very best. - Spike Sommer SOUNDS

BONUS 1 OF 3
AMERICAN SPRING - Spring Plus….(1971) @320
http://www39.zippyshare.com/v/62656299/file.html
This 1971 album by Brian Wilson's then wife Marilyn and her sister Diane Rovell (both ex-The Honeys) is a pure pop masterpiece, somewhere between the country pop of Bobbie Gentry and a less polished version of The Carpenters. And, of course, there's a generous hint of The Beach Boys too as it was co-produced - and many of the songs co-written - by Brian (other members also lend a hand here and there). Featured here is one of Brian's most brilliantly strange songs, the atmospheric and Moog-heavy Sweet Mountain, and there's also a gorgeous version of Dennis Wilson's Forever. On this edition there are also bonus tracks in the form of a couple of excellent post-LP singles (but sadly not the still unreleased track Snowflakes). So basically, it's a mystery that it's not better known and a scandal that it's currently unavailable…(P.Bevan, Crawdaddy) (This album is out of print and hard to find now)

Many thanks for the Fuzziness.
theoldgrinch, thanks for the "original versions" collections!
Thanks
Thank you for the Fuzztones!
FUZZTONES ROCK! I went with Rudi Protrudi and comedian Blaine Capatch to see LINK WRAY in LA!
Grinch, just looked through those two zips and they look amazing. This has long been a favorite collecting area of mine and this has some of my favorites as well as some I've wanted to hear and quite a few I didn't even know existed (BJ Thomas did the original "Here You Come Again"?!?! Wow!!!). Much thanks.
If you'd like help with volume 3, email me at my screenname (one word) at gmail dot com.
WoW!
Thanks a lot!
