Along come Thee Vicars, a band not yet out of their teens from the shit town Bury St. Edmunds. They're loud, snotty, and play loud garage punk rock 'n' roll! That's enough for you to go get it, but I'll tell you a little more. Their Dirty Water Records debut Back On The Streets is a celebration of controlled rock 'n' roll noise from start to finish. Although one would hasten to call it garage punk, but garage and punk. It's garage rock with an obnoxious, '70s punk rock attitude. Truthfully, that sounds too academic. "Introducing Thee Vicars" is a chaotic free-for-all of surf guitars, crashing cymbals, and howls from the depths. If ideas of what is good rock 'n' roll can actually be set to music, this is a perfect illustration. Not hard, but finally, someone has the guts to do it. Leave it to the kids to remind us that we're too old! The title track is raw and highlighted with a lot of tasty r & b styled guitar riffs from lead guitar Reuben Kemp.

THE VOGUES - GREATEST HITS
Rhino 1988 @320
http://www49.zippyshare.com/v/18551433/file.html
During a glorious four-year run from 1965 through 1968, this unusual quartet took a sound
too mellow for rock and too rich and flamboyant for pop and repeatedly pushed deep into the
top forty, four times making the top ten.
The Vogues used a proven formula of updating vocal standards from the late 50s, successfully
covering and in many way improving upon classics like "My Special Angel", "'Til", "Earth
Angel" and "Moments to Remember."
Beyond the best known trio of "Turn Around, Look At Me", "You're the One" and "Five O'Clock
World", this Rhino collection features marvelous second tier hits that are staggering in
their intricate harmonies and lyrical beauty. "Magic Town", "Land of Milk and Honey" "Woman
Helping Man" and the emotional "Please, Mr Sun" are all far better than your chart positions
would indicate. There are even a number of songs here that didn't make the top 100, but
prove that making the chart isn't anything. Listen to the moving "That's No Way to Say
Goodbye" for proof that good material didn't always mean commercial success.
As with any Rhino collection, the sound on this disc is superb. The vocals and
accompaniments are crystal clear and distinctly separate, with none of the muddiness found
on so many remasters of mid and late-60s music.
This is the kind of music that makes you want to light the fire, turn off the lights and sit
on the sofa with that special someone. Like the song says, you won't like this collection;

Thank you Johnny.

Lemonflag, the beauty of it is, Gyro can be in any city you want to imagine him in, doing whatever you care for him to do!

It's frightening how my tastes mellow with time. I actually really like this Vogues collection. The angry punk inside me is almost gone, and my 20 year old self would not understand the music tastes I have today. What's next, Bread? Yikes!
Thanks JohnnyD!
