Thanks to The Beatles’ and the other British Invasion bands’ simplistic yet supremely catchy songs at the beginning of their careers, millions of teenagers decided to pick up guitars and drumsticks and passionately bash out their own catchy brands of rock and roll in their garages. Hence, the term garage rock! So many great artists started this way and so many great songs were brought to life, it is just a great visceral thrill to hear the songs on Garage Vol. 1 for the first time and pretend I am listening to a great radio station in the mid ’60′s and hearing this guitar revolution as it originated. Garage rock gave birth to punk and now is all the rage again in the ’00′s! Long live rock. Great bands featured on Volume 1 of the Garage set are the Uniques (featuring Joe Stampley who later became a chart-topping country singer), The Reactors, The Eastside Kids, Shannon Cannon (produced by New Orleans legend Allen Toussaint), The Five Sounds, The Contrasts and many, many others. Listening to this set makes me want to strap on a guitar, call some buddies and start a band of my own. Great stuff.
Lovingly compiled by musicologist and all-around 60′s music guru Ben Chaput, these ten comps feature some of the best obscure sides late ’60′s music has to offer.

SYLVAIN SYLVAIN - SYLVAIN SYLVAIN (1979)
Wounded Bird Records CD (2007)
http://www19.zippyshare.com/v/O65Uokst/file.html
It is often forgotten that Syl Sylvain co-wrote many of the New York Dolls' best songs, but
he did. While this album will forever be compared to the classic first solo albums by Syl's
fellow ex-Dolls, David Johansen and Johnny Thunders, this record is good enough to be judged
on its own terms. The material here is strong, and it is more of a lighthearted '50s rock &
roll affair than might have been expected. Two of the songs, "Teenage News" and "14th Street
Beat," date back to the final days of the NY Dolls. These versions are fantastic and
inevitably lead to singalongs. However, the real standout is "What's That Got to Do With
Rock 'n' Roll?." It's an undeniable song, so much so that mainstream radio picked up on it
at the time. The playing is really loose in a good way. Not sloppy by any means, but played,
sung, and produced with an appreciation for what made rock & roll fun in the first place. --
Geoff Ginsberg (Allmusic)
I'm not sure when I first heard the New York Dolls but when I first heard Sylvain Sylvain I
didn't know that he was once in the Dolls or that he was a such prolific songwriter.
Sylvain wrote every song on this album except Clarence "Frogman" Henry's "Ain't Got No
Home."
College radio in Boston played "Teenage News" and "14th Street" a lot in 1979-1980 and
that's when I bought this album. About five years earlier there had been a mini 50s
rock'n'roll revival in Boston and most of these songs reminded me of 50s music; Doo Wop and
straight ahead Rock'n'Roll. I played the heck out of this record but it wasn't until 2007
that a CD was distributed. In a fit of delirium I gave away almost my whole vinyl
collection to a 15 year old audiophile so I was without this record for awhile and I missed
it. It's been nice to hear it again. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. -- JohnnyDiego

Hey Johnny. The Allman Brothers were BIG during my dorm daze. "One Way Out" was a staple out of every window. So when the rumor was set that the Brothers were playing Spring Weekend everyone was psyched. Well, it wasn't the Brothers. More like the Sistahs. The New York Dolls got on stage and played a set to a very bummed out crowd. I remember an empty Gallo gallon jug thrown at David Jo Hansen who just picked it up and sucked the last drops out while pivoting on his high heels. All the hippies were cranky 'cause they wasted good 'ludes for this "freak show". Hahahahaha. I of course loved it all especially the sounds. Loved the NYDs. So later on all NYD solo albums were upfront in my collection. The Sylvain X2 album I think I knabbed from my little sister. GREAT stuff. Revisit! The Teenage News indeed!! Ha!
JohnnyD- Thanks for Sylvain Sylvain. I'm looking forward to listening to 14th Street Beat on my iPhone, while I'm standing on the subway platform at Union Square Station, waiting for the train to work.
I'm in the city. I will return tomorrow with bonus music.

Happy Saturday and hope y'all enjoy the music!
kevinpat, loved your story. I know I'm different so I'm not sorry to say that I've always hated the Allman Brothers. Would I have been stoked to see the Dolls show up instead! F... those hippies and their 20 minute, all sound the same, guitar solos.
clash, I would be in heaven if I could be standing with you on that platform listening to Sylvain Sylvain and oogling some chicks in very tight hot pink pants. That's what that song is all about. You're a lucky man.
thans for all this great stuff
Sylvain Sylvain is the George Harrison of The New York Dolls. I enjoy his solo stuff almost as much as The Dolls' music.
And if you guys who're riding on the subway haven't seen (David Jo as) Buster Poindexter when he plays NYC--make it happen! It's a rarity: fantastic music, a larger than life stage persona, and great jokes/delivery right up close!
It's always nice (to me) to download the Iron City Houserockers, since it's one of the many, many LPs I have, and, while that happens pretty frequently, there are SO many LPs I missed, like Sylvain Silvain's.
Never saw the Dolls, but I did see David Johansen in '79, and could only wonder what it would have been to see him with Syl, Arthur, Johnny and Jerry.
Here are a couple more of the "Voyages Into..." comps in FLAC:
Voyages Into...Garage, Vol. 3
https://mega.co.nz/#!C1QwBSiA!fqewX8AX92qS549LLm_K2V1CVklDp7Y9QeP-c4-RFZU
Voyages Into...Rock, Vol. 1
https://mega.co.nz/#!nwxHAbZL!NSKfMbm47ewkhYr-ono5YUcy6auqGxAXRsc4-wuqZOk
Was lucky enough to have caught David, Syl, Arthur, Johnny and Jerry from stage-side Max's tables [almost in their laps] a few X during their peak, and it was as great as you'd imagine... and in a couple years caught the Heads, Devo, Nomi + many others and played that stage myself!
"voyages" looks great...thanks!
Pfink - Do you have the art for Voyages Vol 3? I've never heard of this volume and I find no info for it on the web. If anyone has the art for it, please share.
Thanks. What about Garage Vol 3 in mp3 for non-audiophiles?
VOYAGES INTO.....GARAGE, Vol. 3 @320
http://www63.zippyshare.com/v/A8zktqlp/file.html
Voyages Into...Garage, Vol. 3 is just Voyages Into...Garage, Vol. 2.
Thanks anyway
VOYAGES INTO.....GARAGE, Vol. 3 @320
is really just VOYAGES INTO.....GARAGE, Vol. 2. The uploader must have made an error. i just merely converted it to 320 without checking the songs. So go ahead and delete this collection. It's useless.
"So go ahead and delete this collection. It's useless."
Yeah, sorry. I mislabeled it, should be Voyages Into...Garage, Vol. 2, not 3. I renamed the file, link is the same (I wouldn't say it's useless, though. Some people prefer FLAC...)
Voyages Into...Garage, Vol. 2
https://mega.co.nz/#!C1QwBSiA!fqewX8AX92qS549LLm_K2V1CVklDp7Y9QeP-c4-RFZU
Thanks
Houserockers, yes! Thank you!
And thanks for Syl and te rest, too!
-Xtm
Pfink - My link at 320 is useless is what I meant, not the Flac file. So I deleted my 320 link. I never checked the names of the songs before I converted, so I was too hasty.
Thanks Gyro for the voyages.
Thanks Clash for all your posts of today.
Thanks Johnnny Diego for Sylvain Sylvain (I can't wait still tomorow to hear it).I have only 4 albums of the ABB (and I love them), and in the same time, I've enjoyed to read that you hate the ABB: you made me remember that in the beginning of the 80's everybody was listening to Supertramp, my friends were allways speaking of their concert and I had nobody to talk with me about R&B and garage rock, and nobody wanted to come with me when I've had the chance to see Jerry Lee Lewis in concert!
LittleJack
Hello thank you for all that great stuff Does anybody have Wilbert Harrison " Let's work together " LP from 1970 ?
2 comment.
1) Little Jack. I hope you enhoyed Jerry Lee. I saw him in Charleston, South Carolina, inthe mid-1970s and hated his show. His backup band played. Then his wife at the time (I guess almost all of them died under mysterious circumstances -- "the Killer," indeed!) sang. Jerry finally showed up and it seemed like he just played a quick medley of his hits, and it was over! The whole show was less than an hour, and the star was only on about 1/3 of the time.
2) The Iron city Houserockers' Gil Snyder is the father of 1,2.3 frontman Nic Snyder. Right now he is my favorite rock-and-roll vocalist. Tomorrow if I get around to it I'll post another of his songs on my blog.
@ Duane Vorhees
Yes I've enjoyed this show, but :
1) it's the first show that I've seen in my life.
2) I had the chance to have 3 shows in the evening before Jerry Lee Lewis : Crazy Cavan & The Rythm Rockers, then Duane Eddy and I've forgotten the third.
3) Jerry Lee Lewis began with 2 or 3 country songs, then he threw away the writing desk of the piano and began to play rock and roll and made a good show.
