The Droogs "Anthology" 1989

Fortunately for the Droogs, the late-1980s brought the band success in Europe. The Droogs' early singles had become sought-after collector's items and the Droogs were well received on their tours of Europe. Roger Clay attributes the Droogs' success there to a European interest in American music and the more varied radio programming available in European countries. One of the most avid collectors of Droogs recordings was Hans Kesteloo of the German label Music Maniac Records. Music Maniac released Anthology in 1988, collecting all of the Droogs' six early singles.The German Anthology is a well-annotated diary of the first decade in the history of America's first proto-punk combo: a full five years before such genre "forefathers" as the Chesterfield Kings and the Unclaimed, the Droogs were spreading the gospel according to Question Mark with a series of spottily distributed 7-inch manna wafers. All of that early issue appears here, for the most part in lo-fi that attests to the band's purity and poverty. Proof that a modern lifeline - however thin - has always been connected to the body of '60s raunch.

The Droogs:
Roger Clay : Guitar, Vocals / Ric Albin : Vocals, Harmonica, Acoustic Guitar / David Provost : Bass, Keyboards / Jon Gerlach : Drums

The Donnas “Turn 21” (2001) 232-252 VBR
http://www45.zippyshare.com/v/8MYS1hfF/file.html
No suprises here, ‘cause if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Like fine booze and fast cars, these ladies are only getting better with age, and are owning their position as the offspring of The Runaways and Ramones.

The Cool Jerks “Cleaned A Lot Of Plates In Memphis” (2002) 320
http://www34.zippyshare.com/v/fVrY0Evk/file.html
A lesser-known one-off side project from Jack Oblivian, and this hot slab kicks just as hard as anything else he’s put his name on. Other members are known around Memphis circles, playing in The Neckbones and supporting Eric Oblivian in Dutch Masters and New Memphis Legs.

Buff Medways “Medway Wheelers” (2005) 320
http://www45.zippyshare.com/v/MYZB9aDq/file.html
The last album we would get from this project, but they leave us with some fine sing-along fuzzy retro harmonies and their strongest impersonation yet of the classic British Invasion sound (maybe more Who-ish than Beatles-esque, but we’ll leave that debate to the scholars).

The Routes “Alligator” (2011) 320
http://www77.zippyshare.com/v/1toRMToV/file.html
Even better than their first album, this comes off sounding like a resurfaced Nuggets-era treasure. Delightfully unrefined jungle rock and screamin’ vintage pulp beat.

Nahuel 666, I don't have "Beyond Respect", but"The Turgid Miasma Of Existence" + "Roman Beach Party" + "On The Quiet" + "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" is noticed for next days..

To the anonymous who posted Joe Boy Northern Soul Years - You're Never Too Young . . . thanks for this, but an error occurred in the zip file you created and so it won't unzip. Possible to rezip and reup? Thanks again.Also, what's with the rash of Anonymous folks?

Gyro1966 said...

Yeah - I also don't care for "anonymous" tags. Please use a name - it's a lot more fun that way. Just a bunch of anonymous running around quickly takes the fun out of the daily conversation here. I don't care if your nickname is Bwana - just pick one and use it every time so we can get a better rapport here.

LO FI LARRY thanks for the Ding Dongs and the other lo fi stuff. Your uploads are gettin' better and better.

Hey, Gyro, thanks for the recent Johnny Shines DL. He was an unassuming blues hero, and he was born a hundred years ago this Sunday (the 26th)!

luis said...

the problem with the zipx file is sure that in your ( and my pc) there isn't a program who use this type of file, that is a very advanced way to compress file by WinZip.
an ignorant way to open the zipx file is to rename it as zip ( and not a zipx) and open it with a winrar or another compression program.
an intelligent way is to download a more modern compression program like winzip 18 and unzip the file.
i've try the first mode ( i'am a technologic caveman and a bit scrooge and prefer to use ignorant, easy way to solve problem). in this way i've unzip the zile. the error message is connected only to a corrupt jpeg file and don't block the unzip process
ciao

To G, R and the rest of the gang: thanks for the recent uptick of magnificent offerings. As one who often begins to think "OK, I've seen it all now" I can't thank you enough for disproving that theory every day. All good wishes to everyone involved in the great TLZ.

@ Jillem

MalwareBytes says ZipX has a PUP in it.....

PeaZip from SourceForge will also unpack ZipX files, has no unwanted programs in and can be installed as a stand alone and let you continue to use your normal unpacking program.
